the value of an acre

it seems none of us are posting anymore. what's happened? it's been nearly a month since i last wrote and i think it's just that i havent been spending much time at my computer at home that is the cause of my silence. though i must admit that i also have not wanted to post about a lot that ive been seeing and doing here in san fran because i wonder who is reading this.

i am a bit homesick. i am currently sitting in the living room of my friend carter's apartment (yes, another carter), and im watching a television show about virginia farming. he gets satellite tv here and i was flipping through the guide to see what i could watch, and saw something with the word virginia and figured even if i werent interested in the subject, id at least get to hear the accents. and i was right. not just that, but i am also pretty interested in what they have to say about organic farming, dairy farming, and real estate values in virginia. judging from this public access show (which of course is half information half marketing), virginia land is worth a lot compared to the rest of the country. regardless of whatever im learning, it's great to see pictures of home. god i miss that place.

on the other side of the country, all is well. this summer has been productive for me in so many ways. work, relationships, general life knowledge, an understanding of another city and a better sense of where i want to live in the future. im tired. and im pretty ready to come home. but im doing well.
