That fantastic, fabulous, wondrous Sword in the Stone ride. There's something wonderful about the very act of creation of the ride that truly makes me happy. Please note that I say "creation" and not "production." I say this for a couple of very important reasons. First and foremost, I have created the notion of the ride, I have explained the ideas behind it, but it hasn't actually been "produced," it doesn't exist anywhere outside my mind and in these pages.

Roy Orbison & Friends: A Black and White Night. Back in the day, which in this case is slightly more than 10 years ago, Roy Orbison and a bunch of his "A-list" buds did a little performance. It was filmed at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles (which no longer exists), and as the place was all art deco-y the entire show was filmed in black and white (hence the title). I wonder if the Wilburys will show.

Brain Fitness 2: Sight and Sound. It's a sequel to the original Brain Fitness, and this time it's personal. Well, it's about learning about exercising your brain, so it's always personal. Or, at the very least, it should be, it is your brain after all.

Antiques Roadshow - “Portland (Hour Three).” Wow, Oregon. No one ever said that the Roadshow didn’t go to the ends of the Earth, and I’ve heard that Portland, Oregon is that. Much like with past cities, I’m not saying anything bad about Portland here, I actually really applaud the show for thrusting this otherwise benign city into the national spotlight. Maybe there’ll be a really swell rocking chair from 1821 to be found in Portland.

The Boomer Century 1946 - 2046. I like to think of them as The Second-Greatest Generation, because that sounds a whole lot better than: The Generation of People that Wanted So Badly to Change The World Back When They Were Young Before Entirely Giving Up and Going Corporate.
