Is that what's troubling you, fellah?

 — September 4, 2025 —

Hey there, friend. Let's start with an inspirational moment from The Old Philosopher.

OK, now that you're all inspired, here's my agenda for the week...

On Saturday 9/6, Seattle's Waterfront Park gets its official grand opening. I've been there already, and it actually is kinda grand.

Sunday 9/7, I'm headed to Hawaii, for free. 

Every Tuesday is Jazz Jam Night at The Roadhouse. 

Thursday 9/11, Marian Schwartz will be talking about Soviet dissidents, and only commies don't love a Soviet dissident.

Next weekend 9/12-14 is the SPAM New Media Festival, in Georgetown. Free is always a good price.

No, I'm not doing all the above, but on any given morning, if my mood is right and the stars align and especially if you're coming with me, I might do something off the list.

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

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

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.
