3 Things I Emailed This Week: Wine & Basketball, Scooters, and No-Work-Wednesdays
Two things I love: wine and basketball, making this a must-read: Secret Team Dinners Built the Spurs Dynasty. (added bonus: now I have a list of restos to check out in San Antonio!)

Is There “Absence Makes You Discover?” for Supps? Is that a thing?
Tru Wild is my new favorite supp company. Supps are hard—so many questions, so much bro science. Preworkout is not my jam but I LOVE sipping BCAAs throughout a workout … until I found out that most are made of some really really gross things. I could have lived my life without knowing that, but…

Texas My Heart [updated]
I will always be Texan, no matter where I live. My heart is with my home state. Houston is home to much of my family and many friends, and I was part of the group who tried—and failed—to evacuate during Hurricane Rita while I was in school at Rice. Watching Houstonians and Texans band together…
Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday
This is funny: click to open the #GivingTuesday Circular Following the shopping frenzies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a way of reminding consumers to give back after days of shopping.
