OK, it’s lunch time so I thought it appropriate to share a most tastey promotion that Harvey’s is having for their delicious Angus Burger series of hamburgers. Until tomorrow, April 30, you can get a second Angus burger for free when you buy one.
Note that while the photo on the coupon shows an Angus Mushroom Melt, the fine print clearly states that it is valid for any Angus Burger – at participating restaurants.
I used this coupon at the Harvey’s located in Boucherville last week and 2 Angus Burgers with bacon & cheese as well as a large diet Coke came out to about $9 including taxes. Sweet deal if you like real grilled burgers dressed the way you like!

Je discutais l’autre jour avec une amie / collègue concernant les tarifs spéciaux offerts par les lignes aériennes pour des cas de voyages reliés à des urgences familiales. Ces tarifs sont généralement seulement disponibles pour des voyages internationaux et dans le cas d’un décès ou “décès imminent” …. J’ai réalisé par la suite que je pourrais, sous peu, avoir besoin d’utiliser ces tarifs…
Selon la page officielle d’Air Canada:
personnes qui doivent prendre l’avion en raison du décès ou du décès imminent (soins intensifs, crise cardiaque, phase terminale de cancer, accident grave) d’un membre de leur famille immédiate.
Veuillez noter que ces tarifs spéciaux représentent une réduction fixe sur certains pleins tarifs sans restrictions, pour certaines liaisons internationales seulement. Aucune autre réduction n’est applicable. Les tarifs pour urgence familiale sont offerts uniquement pour des vols aller-retour assurés par Air Canada et Jazz.
Dans bien des cas, il est possible d’obtenir de meilleurs tarifs en magasinant en ligne à aircanada.com. Les tarifs pour urgence familiale visent à offrir le maximum de souplesse pour les passagers qui doivent voyager à l’occasion d’une urgence familiale, mais ils ne représentent pas nécessairement les meilleurs tarifs du marché.
Pour bénéficier de ces tarifs réduits, il faut réserver directement avec Air Canada en mentionnant le code de référence CIC*160/33 ou ACP #671717. Comme Air Canada mentionne que ces tarifs sont pas nécessairement les plus bas disponibles, je suggère de vérifier es autres tarifs disponibles via un engin de recherche de tarifs comme Kayak.

I was discussing the other day with a friend é colleague about special fares offered by airlines for travel related to bereavement or family emergencies. These fares are generally only available for international flights and in the case of death or “imminent death” … I realized afterwards that I may, shortly, find the need to use these fares… ![]()

Bravo a Zachary qui a réussi son premier tour de chapeau (3 buts dans un match) ce matin lors du match de son équipe MAGH-2 (rouge) vs. St-Lambert…
Zach était particulièrement en forme pendant que Tristan, et moi, l’encourageai de nos superbes places dans les estrades a l’aréna Jean Rougeau à St-Basile-le-Grand.
Après son deuxième but Tristan est allé donner quelque conseils a Zachary, durant un changement de ligne, concernant l’idée de faire des feintes sur le gardien de St-Lambert. J’avais dis à Tristan que ça, c’est le travail de l’équipe de coaching (Patrick Germain est le directeur de coaching des équipes Pre-Novice / MAGH a Saint-Basile) mais bon, que veux tu, un frère veut toujours (sans le dire) aider son plus jeune a mieux jouer. Ca fonctionné et quelques minutes plus tard, Zachary avait réussi son 3e but.

Hats off to Zachary who had his 1st hat trick (3 goals in a game) this morning in the game between his MAGH-2 (red) team vs. the visiting St-Lambert…
Zach was particularly in shape while Tristan, and I, cheered him on from our great spots in the stands at the Jean-Rougeau Arena in St-Basile-le-Grand.
After his second goal, Tristan went to give a few tips to Zachary, while there was a line change, suggesting he try faking shots on the St-Lambert goalie. I had said to Tristan that it was the job of the coaching staff (lead by Patrick German, coaching director of the Saint-Basile pre-novice / MAGH teams) but alas… a brother always wants to help out (without admitting it) his younger sibling to play better. It worked and Zachary scored his hat trick 3rd goal a few minutes later.

Got a notice for an excellent deal on the impressive BBC Planet Earth Complete Series Blu-Ray set for only $34.99 at the Discovery Store … today only (until 23H59 December 15th!) at the Discovery Store.
The Planet Earth series (David Attenborough) has to be one of the most visually impressive series covering all the natural wonders of the planet. I think this is probably one of the first (and most essential) HD Blu-Ray discs worth buying. Of course, to play this you’ll need both a Blu-Ray player *and* ideally a full 1080i/p TV set. Otherwise they have the regular (non-HD) DVD set for $42.46.
What’s better? This includes FREE standard shipping inside the US. In addition, they do ship to Canada ($10) as well as the UK ($34.95 sort of kills it for my UK blokes)…
I saw a preview in the theatre yesterday for this and it’s pretty mesmerizing. Since it’s done by the BBC I’m pretty sure the content matches the visuals. Have a look at the Amazon reviews (Over 1800 reviews with average of 4.5+ stars)…
For reference, prices at other stores:
Amazon.com: $59.99
Amazon.ca (Canada): $74.99
Indigo / Chapters Canada: $87.46
Best Buy (USA): $64.99
BBC Canada Shop: 84.98
Even on eBay, the majority of starting auction prices are higher than $34.99 – and that doesn’t include shipping, and variable delays depending on which eBay seller you happen to wind up buying from. Mouse over the items in the widget below to see the current prices:

For all those looking for a great natural Christmas tree at a great price, I can heartily recommend Ikea… yes, Ikea and NO, no allen key is required to install this lovely natural pine tree. Ikea owns their own Christmas tree farms and they are managed – that is, all trees sold are replaced.
Zachary, Tristan and I were at the Boucherville Ikea around 840 EST this morning and there were MANY trees there (and few cars in the parking lot) … they had received a fresh batch that morning (or night before)… you have to go in to pay for the tree and get your $20 off $75 coupon.
That’s right – all their trees are $20 – and you get a $20 off $75 Ikea coupon valid as of January 2nd until March 2009. Well worth it.
We hauled the tree back (after having $1.00 and $1.99 breakfast plates with eggs, croissant, potatoes, sausage, bacon and/or mini-pancakes stuffed with apples) to the house. Later on, Zachary assisted in sawing off the 1/2 “ bit of the trunk and we all aligned and screwed it in the house upstairs. Their help was essential given that I’m still severely limping around following the surgery.
Now it smells lovely in here, and tomorrow we decorate it!
Pics forthcoming…
