i was at a conference in dana point, ca this week.

the weather was great. mid 70s every day. in the mornings the ocean was filled with surfers (also in the middle of the day and the afternoons..)

a bunch of us east-coasters were gathering every time we could to enjoy the view and bask in the sun, envying the good life. so we were coming with excuses why it is better to live in the east-coast.

one of the guys made a comment that he doesn’t understand how people get any work done here when it’s so nice outside. so someone said that this is a clear advantage of living in the east-coast - that during the winter you have nothing to do, but work.. so at least we could get something done in our “productive winters”.

he has a point there.
