Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 1 – Where To Stay

March 11, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Family can make you do the most unexpected things, in no small part because they themselves do the most unexpected things.  Like moving to Newfoundland.  Nobody does this unless they’re moving back home.  Certainly not born and bred mainlanders, or so the legends (and more often than not, the facts) say.  But I have an […]

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

I’m going to tell you a short story that I am all but sure is wrong.  Memories are like that a lot.  But perhaps it’s the feelings more than the facts that make them important. When I was a kid I had an uncle who was the quintessential cool uncle.  He was single, wealthy, at […]

My Life Is A Song #88

December 23, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Memories are one of, if not the most treasured human experiences.  They are also notoriously unreliable.  Thankfully, sometimes that fallibility rewards you with discovery.  That is how this song came to be known by me. One of my favoured hazy, mushy, beloved childhood memories is of my father playing piano after Christmas dinner at my […]

Miquelon Lake Provincial Park – review

Miquelon Lake Provincial Park Sign

Another summer weekend means another trip northward towards the provincial capital.  This time we were camping southeast of the big city at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park.  With four brand new, extra ply trailer tires adorning our trailer, we anxiously set out in hopes of finally making it to a campground without blowing any tires.  I’m […]
