What were you doing in May, 2003?
I am so glad I found this great video on YouTube today. I do remember Clay doing the weather, but I haven’t seen this is a long time!!
Paul McCartney was in Russia. Now it's Clay's turn. Come to Russia Clay!!!
Oh and forgot to say… In May 2003 I was celebrating my birthday
That was so cute. Clay sure had fun! He just makes me smile
What an interesting and fun blog! Thank you! This is really a blast from the past. I've got to go back and read it again.
I got caught up in watching all the videos that go with each one….hahahaha
May 2003…I remember feeling so depressed when Clay didn't win AI…but got over it…I was so afraid that we would never see him again…..Thank God I was wrong….It has been the best 7+ years ever!!!!!!
I hadn't seen that video before so thank you for a new Clay experience. On this cold and windy day, it was a picker upper. I do remember the high humidity in Raleigh when we were there in 2004.
Thanks for another great blog.
I have to admit..Clay did a very good job of giving the weather. With a little bit of improvising he did excellent. I wouldn't mind having him as my weatherman. Really enjoyed this article and especially Mr. Weatherman.
How Fun!! I do remember Clay doing the weather, but I haven't watched this is years!!
Fun 2003 facts too. Thanks for being so creative!!
I MISS CLAY!!
I probably haven't watched that video since I originally saw it in 2003 so It was fun watching it again.
He is so adorable! Thanks for posting.
