So, my New York pilgrimage comes to an end this week, and I head off to Vegas. Or, perhaps I already have headed off to Vegas. It all kind of depends on when in the week you're reading this. We've had this discussion before already though, haven't we? You remember the whole malleable nature of time, that kind of thing. Oh, it's no FlashForward or anything like that, but still interesting.

Nature - “Raptor Force”. We all know about raptors. We all saw Sam Neill explain raptors to that poor little boy in Jurassic Park, but since Jurassic Park is years old, we may need a refresher. Nature will provide just that.
9:00 – 10:30PM
Masterpiece Mystery! – "Inspector Lewis, Series II – Quality of Mercy." For those of you not steeped in British police drama culture, "Inspector Lewis" is a spinoff off of "Inspector Morse." For his series, Lewis heads to Oxford to solve crimes (this week a young actor passes away under less than normal circumstances). I'll certainly be watching (or will have watched it already depending on how things work out).
10:30 – 11:00PM
Remembered Earth: New Mexico's High Desert. Filmmaker John Grabowska and author N. Scott Momaday "present a vision of hope for humankind's relationship to the natural world by interpreting the myth, beauty and power of a scarred but sacred landscape of the American West." Wow, that's quite the mouthful.

Antiques Roadshow – "San Antonio (Hour One)". Ah, Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas. Is it better in Texas though? Is it older in Texas? Has It been kept in better condition in Texas? My understanding is that it's pretty dry in Texas, maybe that has helped preserve the various items that the antiquers bring in.
9:00 – 11:00PM
Latin Music USA – "Bridges/The Salsa Revolution." Jimmy Smits takes on the role of narrator in this series about the influence of Latin music on jazz, hip hop, rhythm and blues, and rock 'n' roll. Tonight we're actually getting two episodes, the first on rise of Latin jazz and the second on the creation of Salsa from Puerto Ricans in New York.
