A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

Another Failed Contest Entry

December 8, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Back in the spring, as I flailed more aimlessly than usual in a world ground to a halt by COVID, I stumbled upon a writing contest purely by accident. It was run by a nature biodiversity organization in Alberta that I’d never heard of and the only barrier to entry was the purchase of a […]

We Need a Hero

March 30, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I’ll let you in on a little secret. You’re not changing anyone’s mind. Not theirs, not mine, not anyone’s. I’d have thought we’d all know this by now, but Covid-19 has exposed an enduring ignorance of this fact. You. Are. Not. Changing. Minds. Armchair proselytizers have flooded social media feeds with incessant badgering about correct […]

My First Car Becomes My First Published Work

March 2, 2018 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

  I got published! Okay, okay, let’s not get too excited here.  This wasn’t a professional gig by any stretch.  I didn’t get paid in cash, though I suppose a free copy and one year subscription is better than the ubiquitous “exposure”.  Nonetheless, something I wrote is forever captured in the printed pages of a […]

I Quit!

March 6, 2017 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

A Crock of Schmidt is 3.  The dreaded Terrible Twos are officially history, though any seasoned parent will assure you that the Threes are worse.  My predominant impression of this anniversary, admittedly one that holds true for most milestones in my life these days, is an overwhelming sense of bewilderment that it is even possible.  […]

2016 Resolutions – Final Report

January 3, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

And like that … (poof) … it’s gone. 2016 did its best Keyser Soze impression and disappeared a couple days ago and with it went the last seconds of my “great” resolution challenge.  I put great in quotes because this challenge ended up being anything but.  Then again, I didn’t forget about these resolutions completely […]
