Sooner or later I'll get better about updating this entire site. That, however, shall not be right now. I'm trying to think if I went anywhere between Christmas and June and I'm not sure I did. Nothing that would end up here anyway.
Baseball Trip 2018 brought us to Phoenix, Arizona and Denver, Colorado. I'm not certain if I wrote about it or just spoke about it, but these trips are becoming less about the baseball (though that's still an enjoyable part) and more about traveling to and exploring new cities. Neither Phoenix nor Denver is exactly off the beaten path, but baseball gives us a reason to fly out there for a couple days where one might not have existed before.
Sedona is beautiful!

I'm definitely a novice hiker. In fact, I wouldn't classify myself as a hiker. I am someone willing to hike on occasion. Preferably on a paved path or at least a well-worn one. Stayed with a buddy in Arizona and between baseball games, pool parties, ice cream, and burritos, we went hiking in Sedona.
Pronoun Note and buddiness: I've made the conscious decision to, in general, not mention anyone by name on the site. I want to respect individual's privacy and don't want to vet every picture or dalliance more so than I already have to being a teacher and all. I'm certainly being overly cautious and maybe that'll change, but for now, it'll be a lot of "buddy"s and non-descript "we"s.
The Diamondbacks stadium wasn't memorable evidenced by the fact that I don't really remember it, but I wouldn't mind spending more time in Phoenix.
Here are some pictures, mostly from Sedona.

Then, we flew on to Denver.
More good times, less hiking. Colorado is on a short list of places I've visited where I'd be excited to move. If we're looking at the places I've visited via baseball, I'd say that list in Minneapolis/St. Paul, St. Louis, and Denver - and its surrounding areas.
Our first night in Denver, we did trivia. We must not have won because I don't remember it, so I'm assuming second or third place. Walked around a lot, went back to Rebecca's Apothecary in Boulder, and had lunch at Google because why not. Incidentally, I'd recently finished reading The Circle by Dave Eggers which I'm not saying was based on Google, but seems an awful lot like Google. Can't speak to the movie, but good book and good times at Google with an old buddy.
If Google has a need for my talents, I make myself available.
And here are some pictures from Colorado in no particular order.
