It feels good to be part of a gym again. Though I’m on the road a lot and forced to workout on my own (thanks to apps, motivation I’ve found online and some good tips from the coaches at OTF), it’s nice to have contests and motivation inside the gym. It gives me that extra […]
The Rice Owls lost their season opener to Stanford 62 -7, which was the second straight stomping at the Sydney Cup College Classic. California crushed Hawaii 51-31 at last year’s inaugural event. Sunday afternoon’s game (local time in Sydney, though the game was broadcast live on ESPN in Texas at 9 pm CST on Saturday) was […]
Houston has a lot going for it: An active professional sports scene, two international airports, delicious Tex-Mex.

Luxurious wilderness escape and laid-back Texas experience are just a gas tank away I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve made the drive from Houston to Austin. It’s one of those trips I make so frequently I’m always trying to beat my previous time, so I just skip right past one of the most […]
