A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

My Live Is A Song #113

October 29, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

When I’m tasked with preparing a more complex meal for supper, I sometimes enjoy a podcast rather than music. They’re a great way to busy my brain while I’m chopping and stirring. Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History is a favourite, though sadly lacking in episode volume the last few seasons. Another I like is Alan Cross’ […]

My Life Is A Song #109

November 2, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Barring a dramatic leap in lifespan (come on nanobots) I’m into the second half of my stint on this planet. In that humbling context, I find it sad that I’ve yet to find my happy place. I hesitate to say sweets, even though you’re all thinking it, because, honestly, that’s more coping mechanism. Shoveling triple […]

My Life Is A Song #100

March 17, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

There was a time when today was earmarked for a momentous post.  My Life is a Song turns 100 today.  And while this series won’t be joining Toronto Rocks, Q107’s Top 10 at 10, or VH1’s Classic Albums in the annals of awesome music shows, making a weekly appearance for nearly two consecutive years is […]

My Life Is A Song #97

February 25, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Fame is fleeting.  More often, it is completely absent.  This is especially true of my family.  It is likely true of most of your families as well.  When presented with such dearth of familial fame, it is not uncommon to bask in the secondary glow exuding from those around us who have been blessed with […]

My Life Is A Song #93

January 27, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

The year 2010 was a big one for our family.  My wife was on maternity leave with our son and the job I had expected to work at during this time had evaporated due to the lingering aftereffects of the 2008 economic meltdown combined with the cratering of natural gas prices.  So, you know, kind […]
