@thenickperson is right, this would use rubygem's latest installed version. That would not necessarily be the same thing that is executing.

version is currently defined in the [Rakefile](https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick/blob/master/Rakefile#L26) with jeweler. A better approach may be moving that to a version constant so it can be accessed from code.
