Who Is Joe?
Joe is a solitary character, yet people tend to be drawn to him like some sort of magnet.
He is charming and friendly and courteous. People seem to enjoy being around Joe, but Joe usually prefers to be alone.
Joe is a writer and poet. Most of his alone time is spent writing, and now he is working on getting his first novel published.
Above all, if you are Joe's friend you are lucky indeed. Joe is the kind of friend that we all long to have. Joe will go out of his way to make sure that his friends are comfortable and ok.
I am fortunate enough to call Joe my friend. Since we roomed together in 2002, while still in college, Joe and I have been inseperable, despite the fact that we now live over 120 miles away from each other. One of the biggest reasons I bought a cellular phone was to keep in touch with Joe.
Thank you Joe for being a great friend.
This is a "dot dots" that Joe wrote to me a long time ago that basically chronicles our friendship, especially the time that we lived together. Most of it consists of personal jokes, but some it isn't. Enjoy:
