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.
President Obama stated that he is in support of gay marriage. This was after his Vice President, Joe Biden, stated in a radio interview that he sees absolutely nothing wrong with same sex marriage and “isn’t it all the same?” Here, here my friends!
If I were to add anything to the U.S. constitution it may be “liberty and justice for all, not just for the straight folks.”
If you could add something to the U.S. Constitution, what would it be?
I have a good friend who lives in Chicago. We grew up together, lost touch through college and re-connected when we both moved to Chi-town. We’ve been very close ever since. There are photos of us at Matt McCarty’s 1st b’day party, so I guess Frank Kalmar and Matt McCarty are my oldest and longest friends. If we’re counting infancy, I’ve known them for 44 years.
How long have you known your longest friend?
You know it’s time to head to CVS or Walgreens when you’re using the hotel shampoos and lotions you’ve grabbed on the last few trips! Lord!
If the amenities are quality, you can bet I’m sliding those in my suitcase for future travel or in moments of, “We’ve completely run out of conditioner!”
Do you take hotel amenities with you?
The people that usually sound off on the QOD create over a variety of art forms, so this should be interesting!
Hopefully, the world won’t ever be reduced to one art form, and all creatives will continue to have the liberty to express themselves in any way they’d like. But what if that weren’t the case??
If the world could have only one art form, what should it be?
The whole Mayan calendar thing…I’ve mentioned before that I’ve seen programs about this and read articles and there’s no doubt, there’s a lot going awry right now — from wars to natural disasters, it’s coming to a boiling point.
Do you believe the predictions of ancient cultures?
On this day in 1995, I was dressed all in ivory with my mother’s tiara on, walking down the Forty Martyr’s Church aisle. Lord, that was 17 years ago! So much as happened. When I decided to leave my husband it was such a difficult decision, the most selfish thing I’ve ever done but boy was it the right decision. I’m so much happier, healthier, and blissful now! 
What selfish act ended up being the best for you in the end?
Are you a bold grilled steak or a cheesy but very satisfying casserole? Are you garlicky-rich escargot or light airy meringue?
If you were to select a food that describes your character, what would it be and why?
My dog, Zoe, is over 16 years old. My son will look at her and through a sigh casually say, “I think Zoe’s gonna die pretty soon.” The old girl ain’t what she used to be…
I remember one night long ago she got into the trash and ate about six pork rib bones. She proceeded to throw up about every thirty seconds. All over the bed. Good times.
What’s the worst thing your pet has done?
I can’t remember what television ad used the Mona Lisa in a commercial, but she was moving her lips to the tune of the ad’s jingle. It was probably McDonald’s or something. Is this cool or is it detestable?
Is it acceptable to use a work of art and change it for use in advertisements?
When my folks moved out of the big farm house in which I was raised, I was in a panic. That house was such an embodiment of them and our family. When I came home from California to their little ranch-style home in the deep country, I was surrounded by a glowing warmth and all the good vibes from my childhood. It wasn’t the antiques throughout the place, it wasn’t any new appliance or vista — it was them. They packed up the magic from the house that built me and moved it with in their new place.
…As it should be.
What makes a house a home?
I like the music answers though; it seems to be one of those things most people feel like they can’t live without, and I’d tend to agree.
