SCHMIDT HAPPENS: 1,000 Places to See Before I Die
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009/10/1000-places-to-see-before-i-die.html
Same schmidt, different blog. 1,000 Places to See Before I Die. Yet, as with knowledge, world travel has a way of hitting you over the head with its sheer enormity. The more I've travelled, the more I realize how little I've travelled. I've been to One Tree Hill of U2 fame, but I've never seen the trees of Yellowstone. Today's calendar image is Halong Bay, Vietnam. In a word? What's on my hit list? Patagonia, the Dolomites, the Pyrenees, Bhutan, the Drakensberg in South Africa, the Pamirs, the Armenian H...

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: May 2009
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Same schmidt, different blog. Long time no blog. To be honest, I don't even know where to begin. I feel ranted and raved out and yet, in counterpoint, I also feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of ranting. It just gets bottled and corked and like all good things left to ferment, it turns sour and distasteful. Do I blog about my disillusionment with the media? In the spirit of Oriah Mountain Dreamer's. I'm reading Amy Tan's. Saving Fish from Drowning. I like travel tales. All life is a gran...

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: April 2009
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Same schmidt, different blog. The Late Great Planet Earth. The world is too much with us; late and soon,. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:. Little we see in Nature that is ours;. We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;. The winds that will be howling at all hours,. And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;. For this, for everything, we are out of tune;. It moves us not.- Great God! I’d rather be. A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;.

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: The Summer Day
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009/06/summer-day.html
Same schmidt, different blog. Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean-. The one who has flung herself out of the grass,. The one who is eating sugar out of my hand,. Who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-. Who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is.

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: Hauntings...
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009/07/hauntings.html
Same schmidt, different blog. My Blog is haunted. Well actually, I have a different choice word in mind for it but haunted will suffice. It's been screwing up my settings, not permitting changes (and yes, I clicked "Save Changes"). It's a control and power thing. Technology likes to mess with me like that - seemingly assuming an intellectual superiority. So the R's became N's and our banner read as C-NT and (HOLY) - JUST MANNIED.I'll let you play Vanna. Why didn't we snip the R's? We had a lovely time in...

http://robertgdavis.blogspot.com/2011/02/meaning-behind-myth-of-hiram.html
Essays of Robert G. Davis. In my profession I give many speeches and write numerous articles; mostly about Freemasonry, men's issues, and the quest for the ideals of manhood.

The Meaning Behind the Myth of Hiram. Here’s what we need to know about ritual and myth. Robert G. Davis. What a fantastic essay. I thoroughly enj...

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: This is the Dawning of the Age of Expensius
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-is-dawning-of-age-of-expensius.html
Same schmidt, different blog. This is the Dawning of the Age of Expensius. I am now officially the mother of a teenager. I seriously never thought parenthood out this far, which is entirely a good thing, of course, because anyone who plots the teen years prior to conception is 98% unlikely to want to have procreative sex. That's my own random freakonomic statistic but inherent within this grossly excessive percentage is no small measure of validity, I suspect. Labels: Coming of Age. The secret to a great...

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: December 2008
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Same schmidt, different blog. Shades of Joe Clark. It's an Animal Farm north of the border, politically-speaking, and I won't go there with which breeds and species I think the opposition parties have become. If you're totally clueless as to what I'm talking about, read all about it here. Suffice to say, Canadian PM Stephen Harper has been reduced to a hunk of prime, mooing Alberta beef awaiting mad cow disease slaughter. Just replace that old monicker, Joe who? And exchange the old host of feathered foe...

SCHMIDT HAPPENS: February 2009
http://schmidthedz.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Same schmidt, different blog. Green Green Grass of Home. OK, so I'm anthropomorphising things a bit - but for those of us interested in chaos and integral theories, I don't think it's all that outrageous to presume that all this collective ummm, shall we say, funky energy could take its toll. As above, so below and all that good, cause and effect stuff. But we received notification on Thursday that we've been approved and green cards should be in hand within 3 weeks. Or rather, the entire Holy family...
