Morgan Spurlock

To start with, what a great name. He also makes good documentaries, the most recent being his TV series 30 Days on FX. Last night he had an atheist woman live with a Christian family in Texas for 30 days. The previous episode was a border patrolling minuteman of Cuban descent who lived with a family of illegal aliens from Mexico. Next week is a gentleman who has a very stressful life and will live in a New Age compound for the thirty days. There is also an episode where a gentleman who lost his job to outsourcing goes to India. Thank you Morgan for giving us reality television.

The Bears play their first game, preseason against the 49ers, of the new season tomorrow night. I'm excited. My family is coming down today to bring Marcy, who will eventually start at Union. I also have made another blubarb pie and some banana bread, which turned out great (Kudos to Janice Heinrich, whose recipe was in a church ladies cookbook).
