“Arctic Void” describes itself as a thriller but I am neither thrilled nor horrified. I would better categorize the film as a mystery. I have a lot of questions as to why and whom! As a viewer you most likely will be asking the same questions. However there is no spoon feeding here giving youContinue reading “RKS Film: “Arctic Void”: Devoid of a Thrill but Full of Questions”

Golf and Your Mental Game: Taking a Moment
This golf season working as a Marshall I saw quite a lot of reactivity to bad shots. Often it sets in before the ball has landed because the golfer knows trouble almost immediately after making contact with the ball the shot is a bad one. I wonder if we can step back and say somethingContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Taking a Moment“
Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Our North Korean Experience
After our sumptuous feast with Kim and his sister we return to our hotel. Bob leashes us up and takes us for a walk. There are no people on the streets. There is no pee mail in this town of Pyongyang. Could it be all the dogs, a symbol of bourgeoisie decadence, have been confiscatedContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Our North Korean Experience“
Golf and Your Mental Game: That Voice in Your Head That Never Shuts Up
Do you hear that voice in your head that is often judging, nagging, criticizing or analyzing? Can you silence this voice at least momentarily? Indeed you can and its through meditation where by practice you realize that voice is nothing but a barbarian at the gate and you are left in a rare moment ofContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: That Voice in Your Head That Never Shuts Up“
Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Off to North Korea!
After we wake up and have our bowl of kibble and a half cup of jasmine tea in our water bowl Bob takes us dogs aside and says we have a call with President Joe Biden at 2 p.m. What is going on? At 2 p.m. we have a virtual meeting with President Joe BidenContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Off to North Korea!“
Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog is Back: It’s a Wrap!
Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog is Back: It’s a Wrap! Four months after we arrived in Darwin we have finished shooting “A Dog Saved My Life”. I worked almost every day and enjoyed every minute of it although Nicole Kidman made sure I was hydrated as she said this Australian sun can suck the lifeContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog is Back: It’s a Wrap!“
Golf and Your Mental Game: Golf Can Be Like Being Caught in a Traffic Jam!
Yes we have all been caught in a traffic jam. It can be a hopeless and frustrating situation as you can’t control the traffic flow. Again it is along the lines of react vs. respond. I realized this a few years ago returning home after a long week at work. How could I have chosenContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Golf Can Be Like Being Caught in a Traffic Jam!“
Golf and Your Mental Game: Reacting vs. Responding
In an earlier chapter we talked about the wounded hunter who gets grazed by an arrow and is dealing with his pain but adds on a string of self-criticisms that augments the hunter’s suffering. Perhaps the golfer and the wounded hunter might want to look at the story as the difference between reacting and responding.Continue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Reacting vs. Responding”
RKS Wines: To Canadians (and the world) There is More Than Icewine!
To many Canadians the ultimate “dessert wine” might be Icewine from Niagara. It is awfully good but correspondingly expensive. There are alternatives at a more friendly price point that are not “copies” of Icewine but similar on the “sweet scale” and cheaper. For example, there are the legendary sweet white wines from the Northern AegeanContinue reading “RKS Wines: To Canadians (and the world) There is More Than Icewine!”
Golf and Your Mental Game: Observe
So you have a great shot on the 18th. On a par 4 your first shot is at the edge of the cart path. A great pitch over the creek three feet from the pin. Or perhaps your second shot hit the pin and dropped in for an eagle. Boy you are IN THE MOMENTContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Observe”
