Wish you were too! I was hoping to see you at the OCLC Blogger Hoedown at least.
I am SO not ready though, and I seem to have a pinched nerve making my upper, right arm kill me most of the day. And today I got a big and deep blister near my left heel from all this walking in the freakin’ 90+ June heat! Should make things real interesting I’m guessing.
Oh well, physical pain I can deal with. I DO intend to enjoy myself and meet all kinds of cool peeps, too.
I’ll try and check out new your “Reference” feature after I get back. I’m sure you’ll have something interesting to say while I’m gone that will give me a chance to try it. “Ooooh, oooh, call on me teacher!” Maybe I could try referencing this comment. “See ya in a minute,” he says with his fingers crossed.
