It’s Tuesday and I was thinking of posting another Travel Tuesday photo, but as I was perusing what to post, I realized how mixed up my photo posts are. Currently I have a few thousand photos on Flickr that are my travel photos from 1999-2009. I haven’t really posted a bunch of stuff up there partially because I was frustrated with what Flickr had become.…
May 6, 2014Starting a new feature here on Club Josh. Every Monday I will highlight a favorite map of mine – similar to how I showcased one of my favorite maps in my collection a few weeks ago.

April 29, 2014Today Daniel and I went to our first Angels game in two seasons. Last year we planned on going, but we really did not find time, and the Angels were struggling so it dropped to the bottom of our priority list. I actually have been to AT&T Park in San Francisco twice since my last trip to Angels Stadium and I was worried I would…
