Take me out to the Kingdome

— August 28, 2025 —

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited to accompany me on my minimal travels and adventures.

As always, these are zero-pressure invitations. I'd love to see you, but if you can't make it my feelings won't be hurt, and I'm still going to have a good time.

If you're coming, please RSVP by the day before, everything's dutch treat, and remember the basics of Doug.

On with the show, this is it...

Sunday afternoon, 8/31, I'm hoping to see Jim Page at C & P Coffee in West Seattle. Dude's good, a Seattle original, and he's the reason busking is legal.

Tuesday evening 9/2, Contact is playing at Seattle Public Theater. It's a marvelous movie based on a better book by Carl Sagan.

Most nights there are lovely sounds at Seattle Jazz Fellowship, which is only two bus rides from my homestead.

I'm rooting for the Mariners, but not attending games. It's too loud, and there are too many people. Take me out to the ballgame at the old Kingdome, where the baseball was usually bad and the roof might fall down, but you could watch from a sea of empty seats.

Our next breakfast is Friday, 9/5. Try the chicken-fried steak, with a side of french toast.

The cruelties of the Trump administration go on and on, and so must the protests. For me it's usually Fridays at the Federal building. No, we're not going to get America back — don't be silly — but standing on the side of human decency is good for the conscience.

Too hot

— August 22, 2025 —

It is my hope to have some fun with what's left of my life, but as of this morning, 8/22, there's not a single comfortable day in the ten-day forecast. Therefore and thus, I am going nowhere and doing nothing this week.

You'll find me in my recliner, watching old movies and following baseball on the web, reading books and eating ice cream, with the windows covered, fans blowing, and me slipping down the hall for a shower every four hours.

Meanwhile, here's a fun video of the tsunami striking Kamchatka’s coast in early August.

Stay cool, y'all.

The tooth is out there.

— August 14, 2025 — 

Why hello, anybody reading this. Unconfirmed reports list me as alive and well, so here's what's hopefully happening over the next week.

Breakfast on Friday, 9AM. Try the chicken-fried steak.

I've never seen a science fiction play, so I might catch Jettison to Europa for five bucks.

The Burien Solar Punk Festival is within walking distance of my house, but I'll probably still take the bus.

There's no way I'd miss The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man on Tuesday the 19th.

And of course I'll be somewhere at least once this week, carrying an American flag and protesting our insane president and his ongoing cruelties and flamboyantly obvious corruption.

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited to accompany me to any of the above. Click the links for details, and/or drop me a note!

 • Please RSVP by the day before. 
 • All events are 'Dutch treat'.

And if you're planning something or going somewhere, and you'd like a fat man with flatulence to tag along, all invitations will be cheerfully considered, possibly even accepted.
