I’m in Katy, Texas, this weekend visiting my family. We’re staying at my brother’s house: home of ginormous television, fast internet connection, Bluegrass music on Pandora, homemade rice salad, and smoked brisket and sausage. Also my brother and his wife and daughter. It’s a happy place. Here are some things I enjoyed reading this week.
