If you've been following the blog, then you know that he's currently getting his MBA from Michigan; so he also met us in Chicago - after flying from Detroit.
Another note here . . . Joe again did that crazy "I have to drive five hours on Xmas night in order to travel somewhere on the 26th of December". Not sure if I mentioned this one in the blog either, but in 2005, Joe drove to Paris starting at 10:00PM Xmas night to fly to Ireland the next night.
Maybe he's really just Santa Claus, and he has the reindeers drop him off after he's done delivering presents.
