(Amazing that I still remembered my password here!) 
Was referred to this page by a link provided by Edna on the news of the passing of Uncle Joe, which is devastating. But I am glad to find this thread and read names I recall fondly.  I think of the old Songfacts gang often. 
My wife and I moved from Brazil to America 4 1/2 years ago, bought a motor home and have now travelled the nation since, until grounded in Louisiana for the past year by Covid. Since March, have been visiting friends and family in Brazil. Will return to the USA in May where we plan to get back on the road. 
Still write poetry from time to time and am always taking photos.  If anyone is interested, when we came to America in November of 2016, my wife and I started a FaceBook page/blog Rondi's Great Adventure. Like or follow that page and when we head your way, would love to stop in to see you.  Plan to see Marc (remember him?) next fall when passing near L.A. 
Blessings on each and every one of you.
 
Joe At Forks In The Road
We met early, like a Monday; by Friday we were friends
Neither one suspecting that this week might one day end
Bound by forks we chose; or agreed to build together
Exploring with a faith that love shared grows forever
Longtime friend, true chum, old mate, one same as a brother
Whatever friendship offers; it’s found within the other
Sharing better natures, our guide is that yet shared 
Quiet when required; listening whispers, “Cared.”
Never fearing experience nor dependencies allowed
In resilient terms, with bonds of steel, devoted and avowed
Thank you, friend, for lessons learned by staying on that road
And as the trail winds to its peak, your back that shared my load

A cop calls in to report a shooting on his radio:   " It appears that an elderly woman shot her husband because he walked across the floor she just mopped" Captain: "Well did you arrest her?"  Cop: "Not yet sir, the floor is still wet"
