About this original series

I'm in a funk and need to get out. I have no problem watching a movie a day, but find it more and more difficult to get my video projects done. Work or scheduling issues seem to keep getting in the way. An artist I know set out on a project to make a drawing a day as a way to deal with these problems. I've decided to use a Flip camera and iMovie to make one short video sketch a day. Some narrative, some not, hopefully some interesting.We'll see what happens when there are no excuses.

  May 6, 2012 -- Corbin and Lexington, Kentucky
  
  Thankfully there were no ants in our room on Sunday, but I still didn't trust the in-room coffee maker. We took a last look at our view from our room and headed north to Berea for brunch at the Boone Tavern. It had seemed with the traffic Friday night that graduation was either that night or Saturday, but no, it was Sunday at 2:00. The universe was still on our side and we were able to once again get a free street space after going around the block and apparently most of the graduates and thei...

  May 5, 2012 -- Corbin, Kentucky
  
  We had the unpleasant experience of discovering ants in our room the next morning, but, after playing good cop/bad cop with the front desk, we were moved to an upstairs room with a better view. The falls were beckoning us, so we drove down (not quite feeling up for the full hike over) and walked to the viewing area. They were quite glorious and deafening. Supposedly in the evening during this time of year you can often see a moonbow, but I was content with the rainbow (Kent went out to try to ...

  May 4, 2012 - Berea and Cumberland (Corbin, KY)
  
  Kent and I took advantage of a Groupon last weekend and visited Cumberland Falls. I've heard of the Cumberlands for years and never went, being far more into city activities, but a weekend away in the quiet after all the construction noise and traffic headaches seemed like a good idea. Leaving late afternoon, we decided to stop in Berea for dinner before making it to the state park lodge, but, even though a friend of mine had been talking with me earlier that day about her daughter graduating ...

  I'd much prefer this to the real stuff.

  In Bloom
  
  Late last week I heard that the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. would be blooming ahead of schedule due to the mild winter. The next day I saw photographs of Eden Park in Cincinnati on Facebook with blooming trees. Kent and I went out and it was indeed a beautiful day with everything in bloom. I'm still nursing a leg spasm from the walk, but it was worth it. Even the post office yesterday near my workplace, in a very un-park like setting, had blooming trees to greet the customers.

  Rewind -- March 7, 2012 -- Going Home
  
  I always get excited seeing the mountains during the trip (or in this case the Cumberland plateau, as Kent pointed out) and sad when they disappear again.

  Rewind -- March 6, 2012 -- Biltmore
  
  We visited Biltmore on a lovely blue-sky day. It was fairly empty, which was lovely after the holiday crowd we endured last time. Obviously we weren't the only ones taking advantage, as we were greeted by a film crew working on a commercial for the estate. Mostly I enjoyed the shadows and combination of colors against the blue sky. I still don't know what the mini helicopter was, but it added a certain novelty. With the warm winter, both the indoor and outdoor flowers were blooming. After four...

  Rewind -- March 5, 2012 -- Miles Henry of Wildfi...
  
  Last Monday, Kent and I visited an old high school buddy of his who is now a glass artist and flame worker with his own studio -- Wildfire Glass (http://wildfireglass.com/) -- just outside Asheville. He kindly showed off some of his wares and even did a very cool demonstration for us. I suppose occasionally there is a good reason to look up old friends on Facebook. P.S. Koka was quite fascinated with the finished product.

  3.11.12 -- Devou Park Overlook
  
  It was a dry and warm day, so we headed out to Devou Park. First we stopped at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, as they were having a free day. Their exhibit on the historic floods in the area was quite informative. Wanting to take advantage of the warm day, we walked on the nicely paved trail over to the overlook area near Drees Pavilion. If the sky could stay this blue and the temperature 70 degrees year round I'd be very happy.
