Summary

This week Melanie and I happily discuss the beginning of COLLEGE BASEBALL SEASON (pretend we have a confetti cannon), which means we break down my trip to Starkville and all of the opening day merriment. Plus, Melanie recaps her weekend in San Antonio (and at the ranch) with Perry, Caroline, and two of C's friends. We've lived a lot of life in the last week, apparently.

We also talk about why I watched The Prince of Egypt this past Sunday afternoon, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
