Summary

Well, it was the best of college baseball times for Melanie, the could-be-better of college baseball times for me, but thankfully it was happiness all the way around when we got to go to Nashville together last week. On this episode we talk about all of the above - plus our weekends, my time in Houston, and Melanie's quest for new towels.

We hope you'll enjoy a special appearance by an Alamo Heights lawn mower (I did my best to edit it out, but it was a force stronger than Garage Band), and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Thanks for listening, y'all!
