: About Me

My name is Perry Noel Hubbard and I am 53 years old. I live in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada. My wife Debbie and I have been married for over 25 years. We have three children, Meghan-27 years-old; Nolan-23 years-old; and Emily-21 years-old. Meghan is married to Aaron and they have one son named Treyton.
I have had many vocations, in my 50 + years, and I am currently employed at a dynamic agricultural machine manufacturer-Seed Hawk Inc.
Recently I have been submitting a weekly column called "Random Thoughts" (yes, I know, very original!) to our local newspaper, The Kipling Citizen. Although I have been writing for quite a few years this is the first time I have been published.
I have a great long-term memory and I like to draw on my life's experiences to write humorous articles. I am an optimist, I am apolitical, I love all sports and still play competitive baseball, hockey and I golf as often as I can.
I want to share my writing and my hope is that people will enjoy what I have to say and how I say it. If I was lucky enough to turn it into my latest vocation I would be a very happy man.
Although writing for money is not my main ambition I won't return anyone's checks, either.

My passion is ...

My family.

I know too much about ...

Everything, or so I think!`

My parents always told me ...

To live by the "Golden Rule".

My childhood ambition ...

Survive being a United Church Minister's son and make it through school.

My favorite memory ...

Family gatherings at Christmas time.

Why I write ...

I love it. I think I have a gift to share and the world needs to smile and laugh more.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Anything written by Stephen King. Movies, movies, movies. I enjoy all music but 60's and 70's rock are still my favorites.

My first job ...

Bakery truck delivery/salesman.

My best moment ...

Wedding day-September 5th, 1981 and the births of my three children.

My inspiration ...

I'll end where I started. My family.

I WANTED A DOG AND I GOT A FISH! I’ve begged and I’ve begged And I’ve wished and I’ve wished I wanted a dog and all I got was a FISH! I guess you could say it’s a pretty nice fish. It might be a Gourami, it might be a Guppy. There’s one thing I know, it sure ain’t a puppy! I’ve done all my homework,  Cleaned my room and washed dishes I’ve worked hard for a dog and I only got fishes! It won’t wear a leash It can’t beg or roll over There’s no way at all that he’ll answer to Rover! It can’t chase a ball O...
