josh's photo

Here is Josh's individual picture. Here is his bio that is posted on the CSU website.

Josh Walker is in his first season at Charleston Southern. Walker assists with the pitchers and catchers and handles team travel and equipment.

Walker moves into coaching after a playing career that included stops at Lassen Junior College, Southern Mississippi and a year of professional baseball. Walker attended Laseen from 1994-97, red-shirting one season and making the move from catcher to pitcher. He signed with Southern Miss as a pitcher in 1997, posting a 10-1 record in 1999 and leading his squad to the NCAA Regionals in 1999.

Following his collegiate career, Walker signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Brewers but returned to complete his degree in Sports Administration in 2001.

Walker lives in Charleston with his wife Rachel, a professor at Charleston Southern.

2006 Charleston Southern Baseball

They start the season on Friday, February 3 in Tallahassee at Florida State. Josh is the coach on the left. (he is giving a halway, show no teeth smile).
You can also go to matt ishee's blog and he has this picture on his page and if you click on it you can see an enlarged version. I couldn't get it to do that on my blog.

Probably shouldn't complain about cold

I realized that I shouldn't be too impatient about the winter weather. Refer to picture sent to us from Josh's parents of their backyard (NV).

Wishing for Spring

I found these pictures I had taken at my sister and mom's house. It reminded me of spring.....I am ready for spring already. What's bad is it hasn't even been that cold here, I just like nice weather with warm days. Oh well, it won't be long before we can enjoy nice hot days.

Gearing Up

School is back in full swing and so far I have had some really good classes. My students seem enthusiastic and don't seem to mind that I keep them the entire class period. Josh is getting the baseball team ready to start their games the first of February. I will be sending our camera on his away trips. I have no idea what type of pictures we will get. Josh' s parents are also coming to visit in February. That will be good b/c they can see Josh in action on the baseball field. I'm not sure what he does so I will have to go check it out too.

Mississippi Dolphins

I had heard they might be moved to the Bahamas. I guess it is official. Check out the website below for the details.

Take One.......Take Two

Josh's hair is longer than I have ever seen it. We have been together more than 5 years and I finally convinced him to grow it out, at least for a while. Vicki, here are a few pics to show you how long it has gotten. I keep telling him how much better it looks than the buzz cut. You will notice I have two pictures. I ask Josh to take a picture and he wouldn't make a straight face. I finally got a decent picture from him.

Ugly Gift

I periodically come across things in a store that I think would be a great ugly gift. For those of you who don't know, Josh's mom and her girlfriends exchange ugly gifts for Christmas each year. I had never heard of such a thing but now as I come across something that I think may be a pretty good gift I make a note of it. The only problem is, what do you do with all of those ugly gifts??

Requested Picture

I have had a request for a picture of Josh and I. I don't think we have a recent pic, we tend to stay out of pictures when we take them. However, I did find a picture of us and my sister and her husband having a graduation lunch. Leslie had just graduated with her Bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology. Notice how short Josh's hair is. I will take a picture soon b/c I have convinced him to grow it out. Although an uphill battle I am trying to get him to keep it kind of long, or at least longer than it is in this picture.

well we are gearing up to start back to work. I teach at Charleston Southern University and Josh's is an assistant baseball coach there. His schedule this semester will be really busy. Who knew that they played that many games in a semester. I can tell you, I didn't, no clue. Anyway, once the semester starts it will be non-stop for a while. As soon as the semester is over I am teaching a 3 week Animal Behavior course and as soon as that is over I am teaching a 5 week course in Cognitive Psychology. Now, I have this tendency to take on a little more than I should b/c I think that "that won't be that much". Then I get into to it and I realize that it is a lot more work than I bargained for. At least I was smart enough not to sign up for anything in July. We'll see if I do the same next summer or if I learn some type of lesson.

Well it is a new year. We spend yesterday visiting the South Carolina Aquarium and sitting and enjoying the view of the new bridge in Charleston and the dolphins in the Cooper River. I only have one more week off before I have to start back to work, I think I am really enjoying not having to be anywhere though.
