Only ten days 'til HICK Tech is upon us! All of the little last minute details are being wrapped up and the excitement is getting overwhelming. Early this morning I picked up the official HICK Tech mugs from local potter Vince Bowen. They are absolutely beautiful.

I am so in love with them that I want to keep them all.

On Friday I also dropped by The Horse Habit and picked up my custom ordered cowboy boots. Bill and I compared boots today at the Owen Sound Home and Cottage Expo. At least we would have compared boots if he was still wearing his (apparently an ankle injury a few years back has made it impossible for him to continue wearing his trademark boots).

I am so in love with the boots that I want to wear them all the time. In fact I gardened in them this evening because someone accused me of having too-clean boots today.

I also wanted to clarify one thing about the conference: this is a technology conference. Not just an Internet conference. We have sessions on food chain management, home solar energy and wind power IN ADDITION to the computer/Internet focused sessions. Even if you hate computers it's very possible you'll still love this conference. I look forward to seeing you at HICK Tech I know it's going to be an amazing day!
