This week's contest is titled "Golden Years " by Matt Gaffney
The answer to this week's contest is a 10 letter celebrity in the news.
Good luck with the grid and the meta
The game is afoot - and the answer is not Bob Stevens
Golden Years - Excel

On the shore. No Zoom needed this week!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Solved, I guess!
Edit: Definitely solved, just wanted to be sure I didn't skip over part of the solution mechanism.

Haven't even looked at the grid and I can almost certainly claim I'm on the shore.
I didn't want to be the first to say it, but I don't think it's possible for me to solve a puzzle faster than I solved this one.
I have also confirmed my answer, which actually took some time.
I didn't solve last week's.

On Naboo. I won't say the obvious, so... I'll have a turmeric latte.

On shore! Confirmed after guessing the answer from the title and hint alone, which never happens to me!
Edit: I realize I'm not the only one, but it's still exciting to me
