| Once your kid grows out of Robeez there’s no better footwear for them than Crocs. Tonnes of bright colours, nearly indestructible and dishwasher safe. What more could you want. A few weeks ago my four-year-old managed to tare the heal strap off one of his Crocs, the rivet broke off at the same time.... |

| Last week I compared prices on LCD TVs on BestBuy.com and BestBuy.ca. The same TVs were selling in the US for 300 to 800 dollars cheaper depending on the model. When I pulled up the web sites on the weekend to show my wife, BestBuy.ca had put all their LCD TVs on sale. Their prices now match the US ... |

| This isn’t really that serious but it does bug me. Why are the Canadian Television broadcasters so slow to give us over the air HD (ATSC) broadcasts? This morning I emailed CBC, City TV, CTV and Global asking this question, and asking when we can expect OTA HD in Calgary. I’m not expecting answers f... |

| I usually put the snow tires on the car and get the Christmas lights up on the highest parts of the house in October. In a few more weeks I’ll be able to make a huge pile of leaves in the back yard for our son to play in. Maybe one or two more hikes in the mountains before it gets too cold. That’s a... |

What are the winters like in London? |
