Mandee might have kicked her router and knocked herself off the interweb, but we had a ball catching up this week!  We are all in the college softball and baseball tournament world and looking ahead to the Olympics with the trials schedule.  If you happen to be in Mandee’s neck of the woods, watch out!  She has the ability to fine people that annoy her.  We can’t wait to watch that unfold.  Episode 41 is so fun!
