Song a Day (Until Joe returns with today in TX history)

Post by Hoi Polloi »

I'm missing Joe's history threads. Here's a song a day to fill one tiny bit of the gap his absence is leaving. I hope he returns soon because it's not as much fun to have no context.

Outstanding choices, Hoi Polloi!

I wonder where Joe is. He hasn't been here since Saturday morning.

I know he recently started his new job and has been going through training
but it's unusual that he goes this long without checking in.

I'll give him a call in a while to make sure everything's OK.

Just talked to Joe. He's doing fine. As I mentioned earlier, he started a new job and has been in training.
He said all he has had time to do lately is work, come home, eat, sleep, and go back to work.

He said once his schedule has settled into a normal routine that he'll be able to put in some forum time.

We miss you Joe! ;-)

So glad to hear his absence if for such a positive reason. I miss ya, too! Thanks for letting us know, USA1!

I was about to send you a PM, USA1 and ask if you had talked to Joe. I thought I remembered that you had his phone number. I've been missing the Texas history stuff. Sometimes I log in just to read that. Thanks for the update and if you talk to him again, tell him I said "howdy." I do hope we see him at forumday this year.
