You would never know it by visiting Club Josh, but I have been incredibly busy the last few weeks of December! Starting on December 22, I went back to Phoenix to visit the relatives again. It is always a bit strange when I go there twice in a short time, but I always like staying at Casa Mammacita. Plus as a bonus, I got to…
January 3, 2009One of the Christmas Eve traditions is that all sorts of characters gather in Town Square and wave goodnight to all the guests. It’s something simple, but it sure did please the thousands that gathered and stood there for a long time taking photos and saying goodnight back to them. I’m not an overly sappy person, but I thought it was a pretty neat thing to…
December 25, 2008I paid a visit to Susie in Santa Barbara today. It was just a quick trip since she is only down for a week and a half, and today was the only off day I had to drive up there. It took three hours in traffic and rain to get there, but it was worth it!! Susie, her husband Chuck, and I got caught up…
December 17, 2008Last Thursday and Friday, I did my first of two express trips to Phoenix. This time was with my Dad as sort of a late Birthday visit for my brother. It was a long drive, and we were there less than 24 hours, but I always like driving there with my Dad. When I was younger, I never really liked the long family road trips,…
December 15, 2008On Wednesday night, Daniel and I went to the Kodak Theater to see Kathy Griffin in concert. Mandel had to give up his tickets at the last minute so we were eager to snatch them up. The show was at 8pm, and it was a race to get there before it started. We left OC around 6:30, and headed up the 405. Traffic was moving…
December 11, 2008I tried out Netflix’s new instant service for my TiVo the other day since it is the perfect marriage of two services that I already subscribe too. The premise is very cool that I can have instant movies waiting for me on my TiVo while I am waiting for the next Doctor Who or whatever to come in the mail in DVD format. Unfortunately, the…
December 9, 2008Holy Smokes! I can’t believe it has been three weeks since I posted! Why is it that I seem to be able to post 21 days consecutively on vacation, but when I am home I just neglect the site. Actually, I have had all of my spare time recently taken up by helping my friend Lev get his web site off the ground. As is…
December 3, 2008I had a great time visiting the Florida Project – not that I had any doubts, but I was actually surprised how much I enjoyed it compared to the rest of the Resorts I have visited over the last 5 years. I guess I had become a bit jaded about how much better the other resorts around the world were compared to Walt Disney World.…
November 14, 2008Spaceship Earth is so much better looking without the wand. I also like the new attraction refurbishment, but I still miss Walter Cronkite. At least heis there in one scene narrating the Moon Landing.
November 7, 2008I am having fun down at the Florida Project -it’s hard to believe I have been here several days already. Overall, I am having a great time and I am quite pleased with new offerings at the resort that are new or updated in the last 5 years. Since Internet is expensive, I will be limited to quick iPhone blogs or a photo here and…
