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”

Golf and Your Mental Game: Take Time to Calm Down and Relax

If you have just made a bad shot resist the self-destructive abuse you may heap on yourself. Why not calm down and relax. Take a deep breath and keep doing so until you are under control. Don’t let your emotions take control of you. On many holes this year I was on the verge ofContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Take Time to Calm Down and Relax”

Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Cast and Crew Party for “A Dog Saved My Life”

Outside our villa by the pool is where the cast and crew party will be held. The menu will be steak, chicken, rabbit and saltwater crocodile filets. Dylan the Westie, Bosco and I think we will score some meat! “We Dogs Love Meat!”. There are salads, lots of vegetables and Australian desserts one with aContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Cast and Crew Party for “A Dog Saved My Life”“

Golf And Your Mental Game: Stop!

Ok so you messed up on yet another shot and that is what we amateur golfers do otherwise we’d be on the LPGA or PGA Tour. You can fly off the handle and let forth a stream of foul language which has the effect of igniting a downward spiral of negativity. I say just acceptContinue reading “Golf And Your Mental Game: Stop!”

“Mutantism on the March”: THE LAST CHAPTER OF BOOK ONE: Chapter 126 Zortixia and Earthling Recognition

The Zortixians were on a bit of a roll in terms of credibility with Earthlings. Soon it would be time to approach the United Nations for membership. If successful the Zortixians would apply efforts to have Earth admitted to the Intergalactic Council. The sweet smell of success was not far off. The Zortixians had muchContinue reading ““Mutantism on the March”: THE LAST CHAPTER OF BOOK ONE: Chapter 126 Zortixia and Earthling Recognition”

“Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 125 Some Earthlings Visit Zortixia

The Zortixian government had distributed over 100 pamphlets throughout the globe attempting to explain Zortixian history, customs and just about any fact that they thought would make Earthlings comfortable with Zortixians. It was now time to invite a small group of Earthlings to Zortixia and let them see for themselves what Zortixia was all about.Continue reading ““Mutantism on the March” :Chapter 125 Some Earthlings Visit Zortixia”
