Crufty Claus is Coming to town bringing lego sets and coffee for all

The Holiday season marches on. This weekend was a catch your breath session complete with a lovely visit to Longwood Gardens, and the first snowfall fo the year. Lucky for me that did not include shoveling the first snowfall as rain took care of that for us.

Tonights show is a fun mess, we have holiday blips, real news and general cruft all thrown into the same show. From the fruit to booze, coffee to sledding we have you covered for the holidays.

I am not a stupid man. But I need a little clarification here. I’m currently enjoying the fantastic Stanely Cup Playoffs. I am being told that the game is being broadcast in “Hi Def” Thats just great. I’m a comcast cutomer. I don’t pay the extra money for Hi Def service, because i have a 19 month old son whose needs are greater than a Hockey crazed dad’s need to see thread on a jersey.

Here is my problem, This game looks just as crisp as the rest of the channels. I’ve been told I can get Hi definition signals from Cable for my local channels for free. But they seem to be blocked. Even with the tuner in my spiffy TV, a 32″ Samsung LCD. But for some reason the otherwise crisp clear picture on ABC looks like trash when it comes time for Lost, and Football.
