Single-handedly solving nothing

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 […]

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 […]

February 28, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

This is a first for me, a review of an audio book.  That may not seem like a noteworthy distinction, but I’m growing ever more convinced that it is.  I’ve been listening to audiobooks off and on for a few months now.  They’re handy when out walking or doing some chores around the house and […]

My Life Is A Song #67

July 29, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

This week, I confess to a crime. This type of crime may confuse my younger readers, may even amuse them.  In a world where one’s entire collection of owned music can be stored digitally on a device the size of a cassette tape and easily shared with friends in seconds, the very concept of stealing […]

My Life Is A Song #65

July 15, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

Love songs can be … … nauseating.  As my children assert their musical tastes on the household, my ears are increasingly besieged by the stomach churning bilge that is a pop music ballads.  Not that rock ballads or, god forbid, country ballads are much better and I say that as someone who greatly appreciated when […]
