Field Of Beers

This is a story about underage drinking. No, I’m not glorifying it. And I’m not saying it’s “cool” to drink before you’re legally allowed to. I’m just telling a story. A true story about me. That’s it. So don’t blame me when your little Billy or sweet little Kate come home and puke in the […]

Sentiment :: I Will Rent You Porn And Sell You Chips

I was thinking about all the jobs I’ve had in my life and how out of all of them there was only one that I ever truly loved. It wasn’t saving lives as a volunteer superhero. Nor was it my time as a door-to-door door salesman. And as much as I loved being a midwife […]

Sunday Road Trip with Poppa

Okay, I said I’d have another song to share today. Well, I can’t make good on that promise I’m afraid. I had completely forgotten about the Record and CD Show today from 1 to 6pm in Fort Wayne. These things only come around four times a year, so I really wanted to make this one. […]

Ode To A Dog

It was the same every time I’d show up at their house. I’d walk into the side kitchen door, beer in hand, and I’d be greeted by him. He’d be about 7 feet away from me standing next to his kennel and food bowl. I’d give him a smile and set the beer on the […]

Father & Son

Tomorrow we celebrate my dad’s 67th birthday. He’s still going to the same building he’s gone to since July of 1964, getting paid to do the same job he went through a journeymen apprenticeship to do. He complains about it, sure. But regardless of how lousy the folks are that he reports to, or the […]

Where Is My Mind?

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you woke up on Monday morning, then the next thing you know it’s Friday morning? Sure, that sounds great. But it’s actually much more disorienting than you might think. I feel like I haven’t had time to do anything relaxing, like listen to music or write. […]

On The Lighter Side: Our Trip To Schaumburg, Illinois

Okay, so I’m done with all my bitching and moaning in regards to that horribly, horribly gone awry trip to the local county fair. I’m done. I’m over it. I wanted to share a bit about our family vacation last weekend to Schaumburg, Illinois. Just a half hour drive north west of downtown Chicago. The […]

Drift Away

So I’m in a ramblin’ kind of mood this evening. The kids are at their perspective pals abodes, my wife is at work earning some dough, and White Hills’ Stolen Stars Left For No One is spinning at the moment. I gotta say, that was the best $13 I’ve spent in a long time(well, the […]

Vacation in the Land of Corn

Yes, you read that right folks. Jhubner73 is on vacation. No more clocking in, driving fork lifts, answering doors, listening to pig-faced rats tell me what to do on a daily basis. No sir. I’m free. Free at last to sleep in. Free at last to walk around in my boxers till 11am. Free at […]

A Quick One…

I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a glass of Nestle Quick. Well, I can tell you now. It was 10 minutes ago. But before that it was years and years back. I have a little history with Nestle Quick. You see, my grandpa Jack was a salesman for Nestle. He supplied all […]
