How I Saved Thousands on Groceries in 2016

January 9, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

2016 proved, with little room for doubt, that I’m hardly an inspiration for those looking to achieve significant life goals.  I am too easily distracted by frivolous diversions such as chocolate, Candy Crush, and laying on the couch.  Three things, I should point out, that are in no way mutually exclusive.  And yet, despite my […]

2016 Resolutions – Q3 Report

October 4, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I am now marking the three-quarter milestone on my 2016 Resolution journey and already looking forward to not doing this again next year.  Promises are a LOT easier to break or forget about completely when you haven’t written them down and shared them with the world.  Or so I would imagine based on my personal […]

The Best Breakfast Cereals of All Time

August 30, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

bowl of fruity pebbles cereal

A grotesque injustice has befallen the breakfast cereal industry and it’s been perpetrated by the very makers of this beloved morning staple all in a wholly ill-advised and utterly stupid attempt to cater to the nouveau health-conscious.

Buffets and the Reality of Aging

June 20, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

It’s not a buffet if you don’t go back for more. That was the official motto for corporate lunches at a small exploration company where I once worked.  Every so often we’d venture from our headquarters to the retail area of a nearby gentrified neighbourhood to enjoy a modest selection all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet.  When the […]

An Awesome Mother’s Day Gift

May 8, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Today is Mother’s Day, the one day out of the entire year we endeavour to do what we should already be doing on a near daily basis; thanking, honouring, and rewarding those women who gave us life and unconditional love.  It is also a day where I am most grateful for our public education system […]
