Merry Christmas Doug!

Please add my vote to continue your excellent blog!

I read and enjoy every one….ok…nearly every one…but seldom send a comment. I am certain many others match this user profile.

Yep, what GMAX9 said in her/his first paragraph. It’s just a busy time of year.

I know it must be tough to keep coming up with ideas for the blog and I think everyone would understand if you need a break – but please don’t take the lack of comments as a sign that it has run its course. You have lots of faithful readers, I am most definitely one of them.

Are there other bloggers that might want to get on a rotation system with you? Maybe that would take some pressure off and it might make it more fun. ?? Just a thought.

(Doug – this doesn’t need to appear in the comment section, just some food for thought.)

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I have not had a chance to read your comments until just now Doug, so don’t be discouraged.

I have not been to a movie in years, mostly because many of the movies contain so much violence. If I want to watch violence, I can do so by watching TV in the comfort of my home.

Sometimes doing a bit of exploring of events being re-enacted can make a difference. I think there is a group that re-enacts the civil war, and that information I think might be available from the Old Courthouse Museum. There is a lot of history at the Old Courthouse Museum, when you get a chance, and are interested, go for a visit.

I remember “Tutti Frutti” being sung by Little Richard, and then by Pat Boone. Both did well, but the original was the best. Pat’s singing it seemed “watered down” and lack the energy of Little Richard’s version.

Thanks for the memory Doug.

Noooo! Don’t stop the blogs please!! I agree wholeheartedly with what Sweeps and Derrold said. Sometimes just do not feel inclined to comment – for whatever the reason. It’s like Facebook, you need a “Like” button – a lot of people Like but don’t always comment on ones posts.

Doug, only my second reply back to you, but please keep blogs coming. Really enjoy your writing even if I might not be inetrested in each topic. I learn something from each of them. Thanks again and a Merry
Christmas to you and Linda.

Oh, Doug, you know we all love your blogs and would be devastated if you quit like that old Steve Hemmingsen did. Who would teach us about Norwegian culture and SD’s rock and roll history or take us to far flung places in the world if we didn’t have you to do it? The problem right now is that people are busy, busy, busy with shopping and hanging our Christmas lights and wrapping all those gifts that will save our economy and caroling and church and writing cards and all that other stuff. Don’t give up on your fans – we’re all still out here, we’re just darned busy right now.

Oh ya, and there wasn’t much controversial in what you posted this time to stir people up the way you sometimes do. Those are my favorite blogs.

Here’s wishing you and Linda a Merry Christmas filled with family, fun and faith.

Doug, You never fail to entertain or inform, I agree nice to have a person not in the industry in one form or the other review a movie. I wondered how that was going to work with the way the movie was advertised. I have a little brother in Alaska who had almost exactly the same on the film. He is a major history buff.
Keep up the good work. Happy Holidays to all.

Two different topics. No big deal. The fact that you added comments about a recently viewed movie is not a problem at all. In fact, it gives all of us readers an idea of what one of us, and not a paid movie reviewer, feels about a currently running movie. One person defining a “focus problem” does not mean that there is one. Keep up the good work.

I really enjoy your blogs, whatever the topic(s), Doug. Sometimes I’m moved to reply, sometimes I’m not, doesn’t mean I don’t look forward to them. Please keep them coming!
