hello whitesburg hello home.

home |hom| 1. the place where one lives permanently, esp. as a member of a family or household. 2. a place where something flourishes, is most typically found, or from which it originates.

despite the fact that i'm writing this from shawn poynter's living room, i am home. it's hot as shit and it's muggy enough that if you walk outside it feels as if you have to push the air out of the way and it's almost hard to get a breath like when your in a car and you stick your head out the window. so far home has been wonderful. i've tried to ignore any feelings guilt for leaving my job and focus on the fun times that will be had this summer. i haven't started work with bats yet, but that should be exciting as well. this is a glimpse of home. the first few are from the nati while hanging out with my buddy derrick, his graffiti, his apartment, his city. the latter is from my first day in whitesburg. j. cut out of work early and we went swimming at the highest (in elevation) swimming hole that i know of in kentucky at the top of pine mountain. the swimming hole is part of jim webb's, kentucky's highest (in elevation) resident, resort. he's the bearded one, and a film maker at appalshop. it was amazing and we later ended the evening with some of amelia's wonderful leftover lasagna. i'll keep you posted on the events that follow, right now it's off to breakfast with poynter at nearly 11a.m.
