Adventures in Babysitting
$9.99
This movie was huge when I was a child in the 80s. It became a staple in my house then (yes, on BetaMax in those days) and is still a staple now in the 21st century! Funny and entertaining plot and actors without tons of horrible language or situations. I think the only possiblity for negative feedback would be the reference to Playboy magazine in part of it. No swearing or nudity.. very wholesome family movie! I still watch it (despite the fact that I have it memorized now) and still enjoy it immensely! Definately buy this one! :) A++++!

A Year of Adventures: Lonely Planet's Guide to Where, What And When to Do It

The book is really interesting in showing the biggest adventures on earth, but some of them are really impossible for regular people, like me!

Make the Most of Your Time on Earth (Rough Guide Reference)
$29.99
The book's title comes from the company motto for Rough Guides. Yet, compared to the alluring photos and graphics of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides' Where To Go When and Lonely Planet's The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World, this response from the editors of the Rough Guides is somewhat lacking, even though it may be the best researched of the three entries into a field I like to call global travel enticement. The challenge comes from the way the methodology is presented - "1,000 ultimate travel experiences" gathered by their over the quarter century since the travel series first started with 1982's Rough Guide to Greece. It's daunting to pore through such a voluminous text simply because the regional breakdown doesn't really do much to help the reader traverse the four corners while exciting the senses.

Each travel experience is lightly described in a single paragraph with only a chosen few warranting an accompanying photo. While the regional breakdown may be logical enough, the lack of attention to the timing of such adventures can get frustrating. For example, the camel fair in Pushkar, India or the La Tomatina tomato fight in Bunol, Spain are treated in the same way as more permanent attractions when it would have been more helpful to present them in a calendar format. In addition, the quality of the writing varies quite a bit from adventure to adventure since these accounts are culled from at least a couple of generations of travel writers. However, there is no arguing the variety that the world presents if one is committed to exploring beyond defined comfort zones. In that regard, the editors of the Rough Guides have provided a reasonably entertaining inventory even if the result would challenge the patience of even a true wanderer.

Theodore & Friends
$18.98
This cd has been out of print for years and while always nice to have the original, this new edition with bonus tracks is well worth the money spent. Despite other cd's reissued by Cherry Red with very POOR remastering, the Lemon Division of Cherry Red did a great job on this one (are they really one in the same?). All tracks sound nice, crisp, clean and clear. Pick this one up and enjoy! Lets hope future reissues will have this same quality.
