This was just brought to my attention by a good friend who frequently surfs the web. *Not that I don't... but probably just not as frequently as she does.*
And it made me sit up in my seat a bit... and maybe even pout a little. But either way, it for sure took me back to 2003. Big time!
And what a grand time that was!

Chardonnay,
With my initial missteps in setting up a poll and the subsequent announcement of "The Very Best of Clay Aiken" playlist, be forewarned that there will be a funny segment about all this in an upcoming Carolina blog.
Thank you for all your list making, voting, emails, and comments. I changed the premise of the poll, which is set in stone to continue through 3/3; and, lo and behold, people are still taking the survey!
Have an awesome week, friend!
Caro
