Well, Caroline has graduated from high school, which is shocking considering that it seems like yesterday when she was telling Alex about "bad twaffic" in "San Antone-yo" on an early episode of the podcast. Anyway, Melanie brings us up to speed on the graduation festivities, and we also talk about last week at the SEC baseball tournament as well as some of Melanie's initial reactions to the Friends reunion (we'll do a Patreon episode about that very thing later this month).

On top of all that, we discuss an exciting new patio umbrella option (because that's a thing at this stage of life) and my Five Favorites. 

Enjoy, everybody!
