Port Townsend stories

PT Christmas parade with young Asher

Chimacum elementary student, Asher, and I talk about adventures like exercising sled dogs in Alaska. We are watching the Port Townsend Christmas parade. There was supposed to be another parade for Christmas in July. I was going to be Santa in a sleigh pulled by firefighters. 

Homeless girl

I buy dog food for this girl and she and her dog tell me a story

A Sunday in Port Townsend

My visit to two churches. First I am the Mexican Santa at the Catholic Church and then I am the visiting minister at the Unitarian church. Boy I have fun in Port Townsend!

Homeless me meets another homeless guy

I bought the cardboard sign from a homeless guy I met. I gave him money for propane and food. He told me another guy I helped with dog food did go to the hospital because his hand was a mess after breaking up a dog fight. Glad to know my efforts help.

A guy talks about moving to Port Townsend. He works with Magic the Gathering cards

Met in the cafe where he explained a complex game to me that is on line. I told him about my sailing ships monopoly. You capture all the ships and the gold on them and you win.

Port Townsend plan for Christmas in July.

The Santa parade on July 27 did not happen in Port Townsend because the school said there would be no kids there because they are out of town on vacation. 
I moved the parade to Bothell in a park next to my church. My wife found a way to put me in a mental hospital from July 17 to October 30 so I was locked up for Christmas in July on July 27.
