Had A Nice Vacation...
Got a chance to get out of the deep snow and sub-zero temps of northern Michigan for almost three weeks and just returned home last night. Spent a few days in Pigeon Forge, TN on the way south and was able to catch up with Pokynojoe for dinner one evening. It was the first time we have met in person and he was every bit as nice of a gentleman as you could hope to meet. If I get the chance to spend some more time down that way, look forward to catching up with him again.
I'm quite sure everyone down there was very happy to have me go home since the cold seemed to follow me, with it being 5 degrees in Pigeon Forge when I left and in Kissimmee temps were down to 40 with rain, not to mention the big ice storm in Atlanta behind me. Hopefully winter will be easier on everyone down south now that I'm back home, of course they are predicting -20 here tonight again.

it was Hoot Gibson, pulling our leg...like Terry Murback and "Wes Dakota", Skeeter Skelton and Jug Johnson & Mike Barranti and "Fermin Garza." All Cleverly crafted alter egos...

Having met both Hoot and Pokynojoe...
I can assure you both are real, not the same person, and some of the finest people you could hope to meet.
Sure you've met them both, but at the sameTIME???

Hoot/Pokynojoe is/are clever enough to pull something like that off

My mother always wanted twins.

So, in an effort not to disappoint her, I always dressed alike and never went anywhere without myself.
You are such a good son, I never made my Mom quite...
as pleased, of course she wanted a daughter.
HA!

The pleasure has been all mine.
Joe I am
I am Joe.
I am Joe,
in a box;
I am Joe,
in a pair of socks;
I am Joe,
riding in the car;
I am Joe,
drinking in a bar;
I am Joe,
in a suit;
I am Joe,
I am not Hoot!
I am Joe,
riding on bike;
I am Joe,
I am not Mike!
I am Joe,
riding on a ferry;
I am Joe,
I am not Terry!
I am Joe,
I'm not psychotic! (I know this because my mother had me tested)
Well done!
