Roadside Fruit and Pecans
Category: food

We stopped at a roadside fruit stand and bought some amazing local strawberries and oranges. They smell so good in the warm car. We also got some delicious looking pecans from a farm in Georgia. They are big and fancy unlike the broken ones I normally get.

I want to go to a large farmers market and see if anyone has finger limes down here.

Cocoa Beach 2
Category: beach

After the conference registration and stuff I headed over to the beach for a couple hours with (e:yesthatcasey). It was amazing. Despite all the weather saying it was a overcast thunderstorm, it was 80 and sunny all day from when I woke up at 8 till sundown. We rode the waves so hard and far. Some of them were massive. One kind twisted me up under water, I though my neck was going to break. Though, it was pretty amazing in general and all the ibuprofen for my tooth makes me pretty impervious to pain right now anywaysm

Going to the beach is a double edged sword. I love seeing all the hot guys but then I get jealous of them. Despite working out I obviously don't look like someone who lives in a place where you can go shirtless most of the year. Casey said it is environmentally unfriendly to have big muscles because I don't need them to type and I'd have to just eat more to maintain them.

I was trying to explain to casey that this is a issue that seems like its worse for gay people because your desired object could also be your competition. He countered this with that he gets jealous of woman too.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned that last week when you showed a picture of the forecast in an earlier post. Just like here in Maryland, the way the weather is reported is much more grim than the reality. It's rarely cloudy all day long, and almost never cloudy for a string of consecutive days. But you wouldn't know that if you get your info from weather.com.

HIMSS 2014
Category: conference

This morning I headed down to the conference to complete my registration. I really wanted to attend three sessions but it turned out today is "pre-conference" and the all day tracks cost extra money. One was on medical device security, one on mobile EHR and one on agile project mgmt. Sadly, each of those was from a different track so it would have been like $395 x 3. I wasn't going to pay and honestly even if work world have it is a waste of resources for what it was.

I can't wait for it to actually get started. I wish Patrick could have been here with me. I think I would have gotten more out of it having someone else to discuss with. We probably could have cured cancer with that much concentrated brainstorming time.

I'm done for the day now. Off to the beach.

I think the person that registered me made a typo. My official title is spelled correctly. I actually had to log in to check out and make sure it wasn't an HR typo, lol.

Daytona and Cocoa Beaches
Category: beaches

We visited some beaches today. Daytona beach seemed so ghetto. I'd have to see it during spring break to really know. On the other hand, Cocoa Beach at Cape Canaveral was amazing. I wish it wasn't 25 centers per 8 minutes to park. We are going to have to get a day pass to the park and go back.
