Heidi Huber started her career with the sink or swim theory. Luckily she knows the freestyle which has taken her from the Chicago stage to behind the scenes in Los Angeles where she currently continues to tap as The Whole 9’s Chief of Everything Else.
My son likes You Tube. Ducklings swimming, babies laughing, Elmo, and Kevin the Bird from UP are among his favorites. About seven seconds into the clip, if it’s not what he wants, he begins shaking his head, saying, “Nah…nope,” then looking at the thumbnails for something else.
I’ve started insisting he watch the entire clip because [...]
Okay, Sports Fans, the clock is ticking down (or up if you’re playing soccer…) Be it tennis, basketball, swimming, or curling, if you could be the World Champion in any one sport, which sport would it be? PLAY BALL!
This is a three-question QOD today. Songs aren’t usually pulled out of thin air. They have remnants of real people threaded through them, lyrics pulled from real life situations, personal stories set to music. If someone’s feelings for you elicit writing a song about or for you, man…you rate!
If you could have a song written [...]
I really enjoy reading TW9 blog And The Beat Goes On. I always learn something new about a musician or certain song or genre, and Bad Heart serves up some true hidden gems via You Tube. His posts cover many genres, some I am not that familiar with.

Today, we’re getting materialistic. We’re talkin’ funds, casheesh, cabbage, dinero. I don’t want any “My life is rich through my creativity, family and friends.” We all know about that and that’s good.
It used to be a millionaire was set for life and in some parts of the world that may still be the case. While [...]
The stupidest thing, by far, while intoxicated harks back to sophomore year of college. I was at this fraternity party, I’m sure it was late and I’m certain I was drunk with a capital D.
A group of friends were up in this guy’s room and for some reason, I allowed this guy (he was pretty [...]
Some people are just barefoot types. Not saying I don’t love the feel of soft grass underfoot, but I’m not a fan of digging my toes in the sand. New, plush carpet? Sign me up. My own cat-human-dog-hair hardwood floors? I’ll just slide on some flip-flops. There are even a few showers I wouldn’t remove [...]
Since The Whole 9 has launched The Peace Project, we have been continually reminded how very lucky we are. The photos of the people of Sierra Leone will not only stop you in your tracks, they will bring you to your knees. Not having the time to clean my house really takes a backseat in [...]
I love this piece. It is by Gustave Caillebotte simply entitled Les raboteurs de parquet (The Floor Scrapers), circa 1875. I first saw a print of it in a friend’s dining room and have been somewhat obsessed with it ever since. What a shitty job, but at the same time the feeling of the piece [...]
There are lessons to be learned in every situation. Often times we may only see the lesson in something lost, not won. What have your victories taught you?
