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 […]

Hey Nostradamus! by Douglas Coupland – review

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 […]

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 […]

I’m Too Freakin’ Old School At Parenting

February 29, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

I’ve now been parenting for nine years, most of that time as the at-home parent, which I think makes me a veteran.  And likely an expert, though current results may undermine such a bold assertion.  Whatever the case, one thing has become abundantly clear to me over that time period.  I’m bloody old school.  Not […]
