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.
I’m on a museum kick. I’m guessing at some point, most of we Americans have been to the Smithsonian. It’s immense, isn’t it? Buildings and buildings, floor upon floor of our Nation’s history. Very cool.
My girly girl side comes out when I see the First Ladies’ Inaugural ball gowns. I mean the ones from the [...]
Is it the Lourve because they have the Mona Lisa or is it The Cowboy Hall of Fame because they have The End of the Trail? Or are you more of an interactive, Museum of Science and Indutry type?
What is your favorite museum and why do you like it so much?
I have a dirt little secret. Literally. I can’t seem to keep my whites white. I love washing clothes. Truly. I did four loads of laundry yesterday without blinking an eye, and a lot of our stuff has to be hung to dry because we tall folk don’t want to shrink our jeans, pants, sleeves, [...]
Now for a brain teaser…these are questions that my old Math teacher loved. He was probably brilliant and flatly stated at the top of each year that he will only teach the A / B students. I think he’s still terrorizing innocent high school sophomores with Geometry…
So, in true Mr. Kidwell fashion…how far east can [...]
First of all, y’gotta start out with an onion bun, toasted, and in my opinion, the burger is beef, but to each his own.
Next, grill it to medium rare then top it with melted cheese, preferably sharp cheddar. On top of that, grilled onions. Slather on mayo, ketchup, and if you wanna get over-the-top, some [...]
Being an avid KCRW listener (the NPR affiliate in Los Angeles) they always have a beat on the newest emerging bands. I’ve found so many of my favorites thanks to them (Neko Case, Morcheeba, Gotan Project, etc.) and continue to make new discoveries.
While not a new group, I love the new Los Lobos song, Burn [...]
When I was a kid, I loathed unloading the dishwasher. There were so many places for everything to go — one glass in the liquor cabinet, one glass in the pie safe, one in the glasses cabinet. You needed a site map just to complete the task.
Now the heavens are laughing loudly as I have [...]
I’ve been on many airplanes and when I travel alone, I bury my head in a book so as not to invite idle chit-chat from a stranger. I’ve heard people having great encounters though, so I guess I should stop being such a stick-in-the-mud and be nice for a change.
What’s the most interesting encounter you’ve [...]
Discussions are heated as people have been giving their opinions on the controversial “Mosque at Ground Zero.” The proposed mosque, a 13-story Islamic community center two blocks from the site, would include a prayer space with an imam, a 500-seat auditorium, a pool, senior center and meeting rooms.
With objections to building the center now at [...]
When I was an apartment dweller, I gave up charm a few times in lieu of a larger place with more closets and storage. Those cute little 1920’s places were alluring, but I ended up in a large apartment building so my roommate and I could have separate bathrooms.
Now my dwelling is certainly high on [...]
