Summary
This week Melanie has some thoughts and feelings about A&M's parking situation at basketball games, I have (once again) fried some chicken, and both of us are delighted by the prospect of college baseball's opening weekend (as well as captivated by the winter Olympic games - where we have both become experts in a wide array of events thanks to several consecutive minutes of viewing).
We also talk about Super Bowl commercials (GET THEE BEHIND US, Manscaped), what we've been reading, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!
