## Resource

Czabe welcomes the ladies to a Power Lunch at the Palm in Tysons Corner, VA. Carol reveals why she basically ghosted Czabe for a year, but it was with a good excuse. She also says she's going to "Lindsay Vonn" it on her torn ACL when it comes to her newfound love. Julie talks about how local TV news reporters have to compartmentalize covering the mayhem and broken people in the world and still live a sane life. The ladies talk about the Dianna Russini situation, with Carol having worked with Dianna at NBC4 back in the day. And there's even more bonus sports-y stuff on the front end of today's monster episode. Enjoy!
