This past week has given Melanie and me plenty to talk about: Caroline Shankle graduated from A&M, Alex Hudson traveled to Japan, and Hazel had a whole vet exam in the back of my car. Life comes at you fast, friends. In addition to all of that, there have been some college baseball developments. For better or worse.

We also discuss what we've been watching (of course), and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
