Try the chicken-fried steak.

  — Thursday, May 1, 2025 —

It's amazing the lengths scientists are willing to go, in the hoax of global warming. As I'm typing this it is 73° and sunny on May first in Seattle. I don't know how those dastardly scientists do it, but it's a beautiful day for a picnic, so I've just had a beautiful picnic — on May 1.

Good thing President Trump is ending all that phony research into combating and surviving man-made climate change, which certainly isn't real.

There's a hint of sarcasm in the above, if you can't tell.

The highlight of my past week was the concert at Trinity Parish Episcopal Church, and the Punk Rock Flea Market, where I stocked up on punk rock fleas.

Here's what I'm up to this week, weather and my laziness permitting. As always, whether I do or don't do these things depends on my mood when I wake up that day, and also on whether anyone wants to come with me.

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, arch-enemy, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited. Click the links for details, or drop me a note!

 • Please RSVP by the day before. 
 • All events are 'Dutch treat'. 
 • Please remember the basics of Doug.

Tomorrow, Friday 5/2: breakfast with the family at Little Pat's. Try the chicken-fried steak.

Saturday 5/3, I'm undecided between the dog show at Foster/White Art Gallery and a minor league pro basketball game at Royal Brougham Pavilion. Crowds make me uncomfortable, so it'll probably be the dog show... but the basketball game is free.

Sunday 5/4, there's the Seattle Sister Cities Short Film Festival, at the Polish Home Association.

Monday 5/5 and Tuesday 5/6, I have reservations for my recliner, and plan to do exactly nothing.

Wednesday 5/7, I'll be at a protest. Sure, nothing is accomplished, and it's almost certainly too late to prevent the atrocities Trump is planning, but it's nice hanging out with people who still believe in truth, justice, and the American way.

Thursday 5/8, a week from today, it'll be either piano jazz at Jules Maes Saloon or brand-new silent films at Seattle Center.

And then, another post here, with another week of invitations for anyone who'd like to accompany me! 

If you're planning something or going somewhere, and you'd like a fat man with flatulence to tag along, I'm that guy. All invitations will be cheerfully considered, possibly even accepted.

Hoping to see you soon!

A schmaltzy life lesson

 — Thursday, April 24, 2025 —

!! You're FLASH invited !!
Saturday 4/26 — breakfast at Luna Park Cafe.

!! You're FLASH invited !!
Sunday 4/27 — Emerald City fish'n'chips, and then The Seventh Victim at the Beacon.

How's every little thing, and even the big things? Are you happy with life?

When you look at yourself, do you like what you see? If you like what you see, you're the person you should be.

Click that link, if you dare. Those are lyrics from a song in the musical, Lost Horizon. But also, they're a schmaltzy life lesson!

Assuming no strokes or emergencies, here's what I'll be up to over the next week. As always, whether I do or don't do these things depends on my mood when I wake up that day, and also on whether anyone wants to come with me.

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, arch-enemy, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited. Click the links for details, or drop me a note!

 • Please RSVP by the day before. 
 • All events are 'Dutch treat'. 
 • Please remember the basics of Doug. 

The Punk Rock Flea Market is happening all weekend, and I'll be there. (Not all weekend, though. Just once, for a few hours.)

On Saturday, there's another Tesla Takedown protest, so I'll be at one of the Swastikar showrooms. The protests are patriotic and fun, and George Soros pays everyone $300! Antifa forever!  

On Sunday, there's a free concert at Trinity Parish Episcopal Church: Sine Nomine: Garden of Earthly Delights.

On Sunday and Monday, an old movie, The Seventh Victim (1943), is playing at the Beacon. It looks interesting to me, and a movie is always better at a theater than streaming at home.

Tuesday and Wednesday are scheduled recliner days.

On Thursday, there's a May Day protest on Capitol Hill, and later a free guided walking tour of the Waterfront. My legs and feet are unwilling to do both events on the same day, so I'll be at one or the other but not both.

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

Adios and auf wiedersehen, until we meet again!
