Other than the tendency for little ones to put odd stuff in them, VCRs are great for around kids-- DVDs scratch, but you can launch a tape across the room and onto cement with a good chance of it working without a hitch.
CD's are so 15 years ago. Of course, it could just be that my CD's are so 15 years ago. Spin Doctors, Belly, Cranberries, Soup Dragons. Yikes. Actually, I have your husband to blame for my recent addiction to Magnatune.com.

If you, like me, have been reared on tales of the second World War as the just and virtuous struggle of the "greatest generation", Evelyn Waugh's arch novels (based loosely on his own war experiences) are an important and darkly enjoyabl...
