For Summer’s Best Beach Vacation, Head to…Michigan? Traverse City, Michigan, and its bustling peninsulas offer travelers in search of places to swim, hike, boat and fish lots of choices. Plus: legitimately awesome wine trails

Based on #wine alone, I knew Michigan would top Connecticut in the NCAA Men's basketball finals. I conceived and co-wrote a piece about visiting MI wineries (and visited a number of times, too). And I have had CT wine and visited wineries there. #Winesky #Basketballsky

🏀🤳🏿44-25. Initially Gamecocks were struggling largely due to missed sshots. They still are, but they're getting beat on the boards as well.

🏀🤳🏿Clear foul on Latson. The kid is clesrly in pain but it's not a worthy talking point cause she's a Gamecock.

🏀🤳🏿This era of watching white women fail miserably at holding abusive white men accountable for their misogyny is exhausting. Sh*t's annoying.

🏀🤳🏿Gamecocks down 21-10 after that 1st quarter. Gotta figure jitters and that they'll settle in at some point.

#NCAAW #NCAAWBB #WCBB #ACC #SEC #SECWBB #B1G #BIG10 #BIG12 #MarchMadness #NationalChampionship #UCLA #SouthCarolina #Gamecocks #basketballsky

🏀🤳🏿Too much shooting from Okot. She gotta focus on defense and learning how to play without being targeted by the refs.
