A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

F*ck Fifty

March 1, 2022 by acrockofschmidt 5 Comments

Today is my 50th birthday. No! No. Don’t clap. Don’t send me happiness wishes. Don’t click gleeful emojis on my social feeds.  Just. Don’t.  I have no desire to celebrate this loathsome birthday milestone. Nor shall I feign joy in reaching it. I do not like it, Moe I Go.  I do not like the […]

I Hate Voting!

September 19, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

I hate voting. I do! I really, really do. Elections. Campaigning. Polling. Entering a middle school gym thirty-five years after I rightfully belong in one. The little golf score-keeping pencils. All of it, I hate. I also hate democracy and FREEDOM. At least, I think that’s how the progression from patriot to traitor goes according […]

Retraining: A False Hope

July 20, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Now that’s an idiom I’ve not experienced in a long time. Until I did. Twice in the past three months, in fact. I guess I was due. Hey, we all need a little humbling every now and again. The first recalibration of my self-importance came […]

Here’s The Rub on HUB

July 2, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Finally! The last day of school, or as I like to call it “Alice Cooper Royalty Bump Day”, has come and gone. School’s out for summer and there are four citizens of this household that could not be happier. Ridiculous heatwave, notwithstanding. This past school year was the worst ever. And I went through some […]

My New Sticker Collection

February 16, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

That there above? That’s my new sticker collection. I just started it in November and already I have seven stickers. Seven dull, rather unimaginative, digital stickers, though I must admit the pseudo-teardrop of the Microsoft stickers is at least pretending to try. Hey, it’s better than IBM’s square! Although, come to think of it, a […]

Rub-A-Dub-Dub We Chose the Hub

September 1, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

On Sunday, March 15th, the Alberta government, concerned about the spread of COVID-19, closed all schools. Two days prior, on Friday, March 13th my kids attended school with few reservations on my part. They also would have attended school on Monday, March 16th had the government directive not been made, again with few reservations on […]
