Clay meets Clay

There is a man who lives in Cary who is also named Clay Councill! If you are a baseball fan, you may have heard of him. He is the one who Josh Hamilton brought to the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium to pitch to him during the All-Star game this summer. Clay (the elder) coached Josh here in high school. We heard about him through Goose and Josh and when we moved here, Clay (the younger) knew he wanted to meet Clay. Well, it finally happened! Daddy called up Clay and introduced himself and Clay came by the store to meet him. Small world that someone shares your name, spells it the same, you know people in common and live very close to each other!
The elder Clay is such a local celebrity here that I have been in stores and people have seen my credit card slip with my last name and asked if I was related to Clay Councill. The first time I said "yes, he is my husband!" But then the clerk gave me a funny look and said, "really??" looking at my obviously pregnant stomach!! Then I realized who she was talking about and told her of the shared name! Now we laugh about it!
