I found that it was nearly impossible to generate traffice to any of my blogs over the Christmas/New year's break. Seemed that people were exhausted: all the bad news in the media and in their jobs took its toll and people simply 'checked out'. Took the time to update the template and condense all three of my blogs into one: http://mykalsreport.blogspot.com/ I now have my running, car driving and business stories all in one place that seems to make sense now as my blogging evolves. Stories with a message I guess would be the best way to describe it.
To launch 2009 properly, I decided to go against the grain this morning, January 5. Got up early and went skiing. Mount St. Louis north of Barrie was the destination this morning. Hit the lifts right at 8:30 am. Had my choice of over 25 runs virtually to myself for three hours!! Fantastic machine groomed runs. Light flat, but temperatures mild. No waiting in lift lines! Living north of Toronto has its benefits.
Finally, looking at the advertising industry for 2009. Don't like what I see for the mainstream agencies based in Toronto. Especially the ones with automotive accounts. People will work harder and be under even more stress. I see health issues coming for some. Myself...I am going to continue to blog, experiement with social marketing and work with smaller, non-Toronto firms where much of the action seems to be.

The Master Chef
His name is Court.Yes he has wings...
And he knows how to cook!!!
Not sure where he learned it but suspect his late Grandfather, Carl had a lot to do with it.
This blog is something of a tribute to his Grandfather and to the fabulous food that he always prepared for get togethers with family and friends. Now, he was a master!
We will be posting recipes focused on real Jamaican cooking. Of course, we will be posting stories as well...what would a real Jamaican cooking blog be without stories?
Love to share your recipees as well. Send them to moralesc.beach@gmail.com
The legacy continues

The first day of 2009.
And after a year of supreme challenges (closed a business, lost a job, buried my Father), it is time to move on.
Spent some time yesterday cleaning up my other blogs. I had gone wild writing and posting to three separate blogs:
http://mykalsreport.blogspot.com/ a blog that originallybegan as a place to share the buzzwords I had heard in various business meetings over the years.
http://myfavouriteruns.blogspot.com/ another blog to share my running stories
http://carsihavedriven.blogspot.com/ the final blog where I posted stories about various cars I had driven and experiences from road trips.
Decided that they all had something in common: shared experiences and life lessons. Felt appropriate to put them all in one place.
This will be a book someday.
