Huh boy — let’s hope this doesn’t start another series of long posts. To see the first five parts, go to DougMorris.org/search and search “You’re a fake, baby. You can’t conceal it.” Maybe I shouldn’t open up about this but I will. I gave up online dating for Lent — for the third time. Unless …

We begin with this image that’s made the rounds on Facebook. Did the creator of this sign lose a job? I can’t say with certainty. I’ve seen worse. I remember seeing “F BREAKFAST” on a similar display at a certain restaurant in town. There was noticeable space between “F” and “BREAKFAST” — with the sixth …
It seems appropriate one day after Pi Day that this happens. As this writer sees it, the only people who really wanted the relocation of the Mississippi University for Women and the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science to Mississippi State University, or to have any MSU involvement at all, are the legislators who proposed …
(Hmmm, wonder why I’d go with Rush lyrics in the title for this post?) It’s been about 24 hours since “that happened” — so I suppose it’s safe to comment on “what happened.” For the last few months, I’ve been following “La Poule aux œufs d’or” — one of only two lottery TV game shows …
The most recent version of the United Kingdom’s version of “Jeopardy!” has concluded its most recent series (“season” in American terms) after nearly one month. If ITV commissions another series, I’ve got ideas for improvements. But first, let’s look at the positives. As the old saying goes, if it looks like a duck and quacks …

When my late brother and I were building Doug Morris dot org, I came up with the name Doug’s Place as a nod to an establishment on “Days of Our Lives”. The Doug in that Doug’s Place was Doug Williams, played by Bill Hayes. Word came this weekend Hayes passed away at the age of …

Belated wishes for a happy new year, everyone. If 2024 is not off to a great start, there is plenty of time for a turnaround. However, it appears it’s too late for a former nemesis of Doug’s Place. A colleague sent me these photos. The colleague also called the number listed for Direct Media Services …
Okay, I’ll concede waiting for “the writer” to correct a mistake that is more than 12 months old is like leaving the porch light on for Jimmy Hoffa. So, the Kristen Welker era of “Meet the Press” is underway. It started with an in-depth interview with — the 45th President of the United States, Donald …
If you knew Geof, you knew he loved hockey. You knew he loved his Boston Bruins. But closer to home, he loved his UAH Chargers. When he was color commentator on the radio, it was great to see him be big brother to many players on the team. Many players came from Canada and other …
A particular episode of a classic weekly series was recommended by YouTube recently. I’ll get to that in a moment. But first, some notes about the series itself. “Insight” was a religious-themed anthology that aired in syndication for more than two decades. Its host and creator was Father Ellwood E. “Bud” Kieser. The 71-year-old priest, …
