Just wrong…
So I was search for the release date of Bambi 2 on Amazon… example here. Thats just wrong and not funny when you have a 5 and a 7 year old jumping about wanting to know the date… You have to look for Bambi II to find it. If the link stops working the two…

Snowboarding
I have returned from foreign shores mountains. La Plagne was good, not excellent mind, because the resort has some of the worst pisting that I have ever known! There should not be icy mogles on a blue run in resort at 10am. Les Arcs (a quick ski away and across the Vanoise Express) had worse…
