Hi Dad, happy fathers day!

How's that line in the movie "Honey, i Blew up the Kids" Go...? Mommys mean business BUT Daddy's mean FUN!!!

I'd like to thank my dad for all the wonderful memories he gave me...i can remember being in my 20's and sitting on the front porch of my house after i had gotten kicked out of college and moaning to my dad, "i have NO idea what i'm going to do with the rest of my life, and my dad going "me neither...want another beer?" Or the time i was in second grade and i was crying because i had just finished reading a book called "Charlottes Web" and had gotten to the part where the spider dies, and my dad started crying with me and he said "that is the saddest story i have ever heard...want a beer?"

I LOVE YOU DAD!!!!

My friend has a dream...want to help?

I have really awesome friends who dream BIG DREAMS...(not the crappy dreams like i have which include beer and margaritas and running from big scarey monsters--who want my beer and margaritas!)

My friend Jim Muracco emailed me about a friend of his; Dan Fouliard, who is a local film maker who is attempting to document his attempt to get U2 to perform at Miller Park next St. Patty's day in a concert that would raise funds to fight aids and hunger...WOW!...what a dream!!!

Do you feel inspired? Log onto his website; www.Voiceofamillionpetition.com and check out his dream and sign his petition...who knows?...stranger things have happened...

My daughter, the bill collector


When your a kid, it takes forever for summer to get here...when your an adult, you blink and here it is! (summers here?...i still haven't paid off the heating bill) My daughter is at the age now where she wants a job so she can make some money...i tried to help her out by paying her a dollar every time the phone rings and she tells them "mom's not here"--that's worth a dollar don't you think?...i also extended the same offer to my son, that way the phone gets answered and i know which bill collector wants their money and if MADD needs another donation...so far my son has only billed me two bucks BUT this morning my daughter presented me with a bill for SIXTY BUCKS!!!

Oh yeah, she kept records of who called and when and everything, so now i'm gonna have to pay my son a dollar to tell her i'm not home when she tries to collect!

I didn't SUCK!

I don't think...but as far as i could tell, no one yelled "you suck", but then again my hearing isn't the best anyway...

A few weeks ago i invited you to join me for "stand-up comedy" graduation night and i want to thank you...ok...a few of you...for accepting my invitation and hopefully you had a great...ok, good time...i think trying to attempt comedy is like the first huuuuge drop on a roller coaster...you close your eyes and raise your hands in the air and wheeeeeee...i was on Dan Kyle's show the day before and tried out some of my material...the jokes i thought would just kill...kinda landed with a thud on the studio floor and the stuff i thought sucked, well, Dan thought was funny...at the time i thought that Dan just didn't have a sense of humor, but as it turns out, the stuff Dan thought was killer, killed...

Further proof that HUBER has NO HUMOR:

On driving; Not that i suffer from road rage but my daughter once asked me why i'm always flipping people off...i told her it's because i don't have a gun...

on Diets; Willpower is over-rated, if it was so damn important someone would have invented a drug for it...

(ok...maybe you needed a couple of beers before i got started...they don't call it a "two drink minimum for nothing...)

So, you think YOU CAN DO BETTER????
(chances are you can)
