Pop Culture Friday

It's back! Here's a round-up:

*It's been fun to watch the early episodes of The Amazing Race every night at 8 p.m. (central) on Game Show Network. I didn't find the show until it's fourth season, and getting to watch the classics--a new one every night!--has been a special treat.

*I defy anyone to not love March of the Penguins. It's got penguins, baby penguins, and Morgan Freeman!

*Marilynne Robinson's Gilead won the most recent Pulitzer for fiction--and it completely deserved it. It is one of the best books I've ever read.
