So there I sat Sunday night, doing a little channel-surfing before ending my weekend. I was enjoying the marvels of digital cable, surveying the over 200 channels on which there was quite literally not a single blessed thing of interest, when the name "Riverdance" caught my eye.

Now, I've seen the "Riverdance" troupe, and Michael Flatley's "Lord of the Dance" bunch, dozens of times. I'd even seen this particular New York performance before, but I watched anyway. And I enjoyed it.

There are certain shows like that, those that I'll grant at least 50 percent attention to any time I see them on the schedule. I think we all have shows, books or movies like that ... things we just never quite grow bored with.

In TV, just about any science fiction, preferably something from "Babylon 5" or with "Trek" in the title somewhere will occupy me for an hour. My pal Andy is a "Family Guy" devotee, and I've got to agree with him there. That's just about the funniest bit of 'tooning ever. Basically, any cartoon dysfunctional family, be it "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," or the truly twisted Cartoon Network offering "The Oblongs" is worthy of my time.

For books, there are too many to list. If I had to write down the title of every book I've ever read twice, Laura would be pushing me out of the way this time next week so she could write her column.

Movies are a different story. Once I commit two hours of my life to something, it'd better be darned good (or comically bad) for me to do so again. Chief among these is "Blade Runner," which I regard as the ultimate vision of a dark future. You like "The Matrix?" Thank Ridley Scott and the visual futurists of "Blade Runner" for that sort of dark prescience.

Then there are places I could visit over and over again. This week's Mystery Cam is one, although I haven't been there since I was a fresh-faced 16-year-old dweeb. Any guesses yet?

Last Week

In last week's column, Ms. Bobendrier took us to a view from Hedgehog Hill in Madison, N.H., aimed toward Mount Chocorua. Not too far away from here, the Old Man of the Mountain lost his face, so to speak, when the rocks that formed the landmark tumbled to the ground.

The geographically savvy winners were Judy Berkeley, Chris Bannon and Todd Jacobson.

This Week's Clues

This week's location is a big tourist destination both for historic and scenic reasons. Not too far from here, you can watch lava flow, but don't take any it home or you'll have cursed luck!

You can snow ski and surf within a few miles of here, and visit a memorial which is one of its country's most revered sites. If boating is your thing, you can do it here, but watch out for the official traffic.

That should be plenty to get you started. If you need more help, use the Netcam links at left to narrow down your choices.

Think you've got it figured? Then send in your guess! The first three folks in with the correct answer will be immortalized in next week's column.
