Today, while my back was turned, Miles raided the "no-touch" bookshelf. I found him sitting on the floor "reading" John Owen's Sin and Temptation. How appropriate.

Over Labor Day weekend Miles was initiated into several of the more sacred aspects of Texas culture. First stop, Smitty's Market in Lockhart for BBQ smoked like this:

Ready...

GO!
