Keynote speaker Carl Hiaasen was hilarious! He came out after some really great Brazillian dancers (and a lot of yammering)...



The yammering is the way the conference presenters always go on for about an hour extolling the virtues of whomever it was that we actually wanted to hear talk..... funny.... more of Carl and less of the BS hyperbole preceding him would have been nice....

The Brazilian dancers were great. Entertaining and I can't figure out how they got a brazilian of them on stage at once......

Mr. Hiaasen was wonderful. Funny and insightful and full of stories. We all love stories you know. ..... he talked about his life and career and quest living in Florida. And much about how the people there are an odd bunch that defies logic and continually confounds his attempts to trump reality with his creativity. He tries to invent odd situations and strange happenstances and every time he believes he's created one that can't possibly happen in real life one of his fellow Floridians manages to put him back to square one.

We're skipping the Gumby music tonight and sitting in our room with TV and beer and snacks. Early to bed and early to rise.......
