The reservations for the luau have been made. My tee time is set. The helicopter trip over the volcano isn't yet set, but a nice massage for the day after the 18 holes is. I can take a Quantum of Solace from that. Even if the helicopter trip over the volcano doesn't work out, at least I won't feel too sore the day after my ridiculously poor showing at Kona Country Club.

Nature – "The Gorilla King”. Apparently the king of the mountain gorillas of Rwanda is named Titus. I thought the gorilla king was named Kong, or, at the very least, Mighty Joe Young. I like the notion of it being Kong more, though. Apparently that's all hogwash, it's this Titus fellow who is one of only 700.

9:00 – 11:00PM

Masterpiece – "My Boy Jack". Jack, for those of you who don't know, is the son of Rudyard. Rudyard created Mowgli. And Mowgli… well, let's not get into a series of biblical begats here, let's just say Jack is played by Harry Potter and causes a fair bit of trouble here when he joins the Irish Guard during World War I.

Antiques Roadshow – "Louisville (Hour One)". I imagine that this city is going to be a home run for the series. They're really going to knock one out of the park here. They're going to put a few runs on the board by going yard. They're going to, unquestionably, get the long ball working here. In short, they're going to be Sluggers.

9:00 – 10:00PM

American Experience – "Roberto Clemente". Speaking of baseball, here's a tale about Roberto Clemente. He was a baseball player, but - and very importantly - he was also a humanitarian. He was a good guy who fought against discrimination and for justice. Plus, there's the whole baseball thing, too.

10:00 – 11:30PM

Great Performances – "Dance in America: Wolf Trap's Face of America". So, there's this foundation for performing arts, Wolf Trap, they do this whole "Face of America" thing wherein they commission dances. Here we get to see a few of the dances they've bought and paid for.

Nova – “Car of the Future”. If The Simpsons has taught me anything, and I firmly believe it has, the car of the future will be designed by Homer for his long-lost half-brother who will end up going broke because of it. The car will be awesome and will cost way, way more than the average person can afford. It will, in short, be truly swell.
