Things to Do With Your Kids in Toronto by Ryan Hogan |
|
|
There are a couple of things to keep in mind about Toronto.
One is the weather. While Toronto has a pretty mild climate
for a Canadian city, and it does experience four distinct
seasons, its winters can be a bit harsh. You can expect
snowfall from November through mid-April. Second, Toronto is
expensive. It's often rated as the most expensive city in
Canada in which to live. So while there's plenty for your
family to do in Toronto, you'll need to pay attention to
the weather and to your budget. |

Music and Humor by Ryan Hogan |
|
|
Music and humor can intersect in one of three ways. The
first way is when serious artists get clever. This would be
The Who's "Squeeze Box," The Ramones "I Want to be
Sedated," or Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady." |

Top Ten 'Mistakes' Made by Parents America by Ryan Hogan |
|
|
On one hand the word "mistake" may be too harsh. Every
child is different and only you really know if your
offspring is happy and flourishing. Therefore, who is to say
what a parenting mistake is and is not? On the other hand,
"mistake" may not be harsh enough. |

The Top 10 Amusement Parks in America by Ryan Hogan |
|
|
The deciding factor in selecting the top ten amusement parks
in America was the answer to the following question: is the
park worth a trip across country? If the park is in Florida
is it worth the trip from the West Coast? If the park is in
California is it worth the journey from Boston or Baltimore?
If the answer was yes, the park qualified for inclusion. |

Roger Daltrey, Who Are You? by Ryan Hogan |

Roger Daltrey has been inappropriately maligned throughout

bands of all-time, The Who. Yet when names are tossed around
as to who is the greatest lead-singer in rock and roll
history his name never seems to come up. Why is that? |

playing it very well). |
