#JoeStrong Elf On A Shelf

I am #JoeStrong

What a long, strange trip it’s been. The first time I met Joe Clark was at the retirement party of Scott Harris.  Harris was an Orlando news-icon who, shortly after his “retirement”, died of cancer. I met Joe and was instantly drawn in.  We talked briefly about Jimmy Johns and our mutual love of NASCAR…
