Type out your grocery list in notepad and print it. :-) That's what we do (so I can email the list to Chris and he can take it along on one of his Myriad Portable CE Powered Devices.)
And I am SO TOTALLY WITH YOU on kids and TV. This is why we have ONE TV. (The child ignores it entirely for the time being, but I'm quite sure that eventually he won't, and then he won't get access to the remote. Not that he does now. :-D I always liked the idea of the weemote but I don't know how well it works ...
Okay, done rambling. :-D
