I might write about my thoughts on the eight hours — not six, as was claimed — of “Get Back” on Disney+, but first here’s a Beatles challenge. I was able to correctly identify the album grooves in #1 and #5.
This is the BBC programme that was the inspiration for Andrew’s challenge. What about a “guess the CD” challenge? 😉
Today’s Doonesbury speaks truth. Not to power, but the powerless.
Remember when people actually thought they could make a living by writing as bloggers? A laughable notion today, but taken seriously by many at the time. As my Contact Doug page has always stated, I have never tried to monetize this site. I wouldn’t have made any money anyway.
As I said before taking my 2-month break to fret over technical woes, the “big” stuff associated with this site happened in its first few years.

This ad has been popping up on Web pages. Is the girl with the incredible red hair a character in the game?
Somebody should tell actress Jenna Thiam. The incredible red hair belongs to her.
