ldyjocelyn Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yes, I loved that too.As someone who grew up in a very small town, I really appreciated that part of his campaign. The town I grew up next to had 300 people in it. (I always joked that I lived in the suburbs, as I really grew up on a farm outside of this town). Nobody every visited us. But if someone campaigning had come through, and listened to us...that would be great. I hope Clay gave some of those people hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Good morning everyone!This week begins my boss' maternity leave -- she's having the baby via C-section sometime today. This means, however, that I'm now the boss for the rest of the semester! AAAAGH! I also know that this is merrieeee's bad week at work, so between the two of us...hopefully we'll be able to keep everyone who still reads here updated on the latest Clay news.Can you believe it's just over a week before "The Runner-Up" is shown? I'm looking forward to it, even if some parts might be difficult to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Public Schools event on April 9 has been cancelled.We are so sorry but due to scheduling conflicts we are cancelling this event on April 9, 2015. This is totally due to errors I made in the scheduling and is not Mr. Aiken's fault. He is willing to reschedule with us sometime - we do hope to reschedule with Clay in the fall.

ldyjocelyn Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks deemer! I'd grab one of those, except that I REALLY like "diner" guy!Fear, I'm trying my best to do just that. But, it's extremely hard when we're short staffed to begin with! Fortunately, a day off on Friday....That new promo clip is very interesting, and really shows the hard battle he had to fight in order to accomplish anything. Considering that, I think it's great he garnered as many votes as he did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
