Whew Vacation is a lot of work


We visited 5 islands, had a blast in Orlando at Lego Land and even made it to Great Wolf Lodge. It's nice to be back. Not really...

One thing I noticed was that the downturn that the US economy is currently facing is really starting to affect the places outside the USA. I have traveled to Cozumel at least once a year for the past 8 years and I have never seen the sellers so desperate. Its the same in the caymann islands. I was speaking to one the native islanders. He's been a DJ/Entertainer there his whole life. According to him all the big American companies basically cut all their pay by 30%. No explanation except - too bad. Tips are down, visitors are buying less.

Scary...

But I'm back in Toronto. We wont be in the studio until January 5th. So all you people who have been trying to reach me - email!!!

I have list of about 25 people who have been trying to finalize thing (Stella your first!! Ashley your second, Maria they're ready!!!)

In the meantime,
