This week, a letter-writer uses sports as a metaphor for life.
Deal Breaking
Withdrawing the US/‘us’ from the Paris Climate Accord is just the most recent instance of isolationism made in the name of ‘America First,’ benefiting the ‘American people’ and ‘making America great again,’ but which alienates the US/‘us’ from our allied partners throughout the world. An unprecedented spirit of global solidarity on the part of nearly 200 world nations was depreciated into an ‘unratified agreement’ that was a ‘bad deal.’ The president has a nasty habit of seeing problems where they aren’t and then touting himself as their solution. America is not as divided or small as the president would have us believe but is coming to be regarded as such through his own orders and actions which are endangering and diminishing the integrity of our national democracy and our standing in the international community. Domestic economy and world peace are not matters of better ‘deal making,’ which, as currently practiced by the administration, is only resulting in troubling ‘deal making.’ It’s alarming that so many of the
US/‘us’ citizens seem to be supporting the president’s blatantly/flagrantly rampant egotistical need to not be a ‘loser’ by hanging their security onto his coattails and that part of the anatomy they cover. —Raymond B. Vespe
Team Effort
Using sports as a metaphor for life, today’s Golden State Warriors basketball team immediately comes to mind. As the team closes in on another championship season [they won!] and establishing records as they go merrily along, the team is often cited as talented, enthusiastic, intelligent, humble, deep, unselfish and positive. Team effort at its very finest. They are also not big on trash-talking. They might even be viewed as role models for our children and grandchildren to emulate. Throw in the reality that not one of them comes from what might be called a privileged background, it makes you wonder, why can’t our polarized country be more like this team? —Dennis Kostecki

Let’s give a toothy grin to the Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) board for voting to continue adding fluoride to our water. A contingent of false science followers lobbied against it, claiming that fluoride is a toxin and reduces the IQ of children. A lone board member, Larry Bragman, supported their misguided belief by voting against fluoridation. We aim to set the record straight: Fluoride strengthens teeth. The American Dental Association states, “Drinking water with fluoride (called ‘nature’s cavity fighter’) is one of the easiest and most beneficial things you can do to help prevent cavities.” We commend the reasonable board members for recognizing real science and following the well-founded state order that requires the MMWD to keep fluoride flowing from our taps.

Open every day ▼ In a heartless move last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) denied Hugo Mejia an immigration hearing before a judge, despite the fact that he has been a law-abiding resident since entering the U.S. from Mexico 17 years ago. As we reported on May 24, Mejia, of San Rafael, was picked up by ICE for illegally entering the country, and is on the fast track to deportation without due process. The Marin community has provided overwhelming support of Mejia, including organizing rallies and gathering thousands of signatures on a grassroots petition to protest his incarceration and demand a court hearing. It’s absolutely disgraceful that the U.S. government is hell bent on taking this honorable man away from his wife and three children. Banish criminals instead.—Nikki Silverstein

Sausalito-based Safe Catch, an ecologically minded company, offers tuna that’s safe for athletes, kids, pregnant women—and everyone.
High Standards
Safe Catch: Committed to mercury testing of each and every fish By David Templeton
T
he seas are dying, or so suggest a certain number of activists, scientists and watchers-of-the-apocalypse. Some of them point to rising levels of toxins in the ocean, and an array of environmental imbalances that have put whole species of aquatic life at risk of extinction. Others quote that scary part of Revelation (Chapter 8: Verse 9) that predicts one-third of the fish in the ocean will die, along with, by the way, one-third of its ships. In the midst of all this aquatic doom-and-gloom, a small company headquartered in Sausalito is offering a much more optimistic view of the future’s oceans, along with a strong call to change our relationship with the sea, and the tasty creatures that live in it. “I’m not sure it’s accurate to say the seas are dying, but they are definitely very seriously challenged,” says Sean Wittenberg, co-founder
and president of Safe Catch, a fastrising, ecologically minded and slightly quirky company producing canned and cooked tuna that is as healthy for its consumer as it is respectful of the oceans in which those fish are caught. “Certain parts of the ocean are more challenged than others, because of the impact of industrial pollution, and because of reckless human behavior. Industrial behavior, and consumer behavior, is definitely threatening the oceans, and all of that irresponsible behavior has caused the ocean a lot of serious harm. [The ocean] is sick, in places, and it certainly does need help.” Wittenberg and his Safe Catch co-founder, Bryan Boches, are fully aware of the ironies and challenges of launching an environmentally friendly canned tuna company. Still, both founders see the sustainable harvesting of fish as an important
effort that—assuming certain changes are implemented into the industry, and into consumer attitudes—brings a number of powerful pluses to counter its many minuses. It all comes down to the fact that healthy fish is healthy protein. “The healthiest things on earth to put in your body still come from the ocean,” Wittenberg says. “There are plenty of healthy fish in the sea. You just have to be willing to pass on those that aren’t.” And, of course, the healthier the oceans become, the safer the food we pull from it. Currently, Safe Catch produces a whole line of highend, ecologically minded, healthconscious tuna products, packed in attractive cans and pouches bearing the lofty admonition, “Eat Pure. Live Pure,” and the remarkably specific promise that it’s a great choice for athletes, kids and pregnant women.
Each can—which is produced to sit on shelves upside-down, it’s removable cover on the bottom— carries a lot of printed information in the form of short statements, positive affirmations and little icons identifying that the tuna inside was caught using dolphin-safe methods, with traditional lines and poles, was hand-cut, sushi-grade fish when it was placed in the can and cooked in its own juices, and before any of that, was tested to the highest level of any canned tuna brand on the market. “We’ve performed a million mercury tests to date,” Wittenberg says. “And that’s just the beginning.” There was a time, of course, when tuna was among Americans’favorite foods. But when reports of mercury levels in canned tuna became common, and doctors warned of mercury’s dangers—especially to pregnant women—American consumption of tuna plummeted.

public. At that point, Safe Catch was conceived as a testing company. But after a number of major big tuna companies passed, the team decided to take the knowledge they’d acquired over years of developing the system, and swim in a different direction. In short, they decided that if no existing tuna manufacturers were willing to hold their products to a higher standard, they would start a healthy tuna brand of their own. Their goals were many-fold—to produce healthier tuna, to do it in a way that might restore populations of fish that are being unsustainably harvested by other companies, to set an example of how that could be done and, to a degree, to put tuna back into American consciousness as a healthful and relatively inexpensive staple. “This actually all started,” Wittenberg says, “because my mom had mercury poisoning when I was a kid, and she became very sick. Before then, we ate a lot of tuna. Everyone ate a lot of tuna.” He still recalls his mother sending him to school every morning with a paper bag lunch. “There was always an apple or some other piece of fruit, a juice box, something sweet once in awhile, and a sandwich,” he says. “And two days a week, that sandwich was tuna fish. Then my mom got sick. Then she read an article in Prevention magazine, talking about how pregnant women and children were at risk of mercury poisoning, and that so much of our tuna had become contaminated, we simply can’t trust any of it anymore. “I remember my mom saying, ‘Well Sean, you just lost 40 percent of your lunches,’” he continues. “She never made tuna sandwiches again. “I didn’t know it would become my whole world,” Wittenberg says. “When we started developing the testing technology, I thought we would, you know, help the world, and then go on to the next problem. But it turned into much more than that for me. When we brought this technology to the seafood industry, in the interest of helping people get access to healthy seafood, we thought we had a sure thing. Why wouldn’t these companies want to produce safer products? But the folks we talked to in the industry wanted us to dilute our standards, and basically just use the testing technologies to rubber stamp their products.” During their time developing his company’s testing tools, Wittenberg
Safe Catch has recruited major “influencers” around the world—elite athletes, scientists, actors, authors, moms and kids—to get the word out about safe tuna.
says he and Boches worked with fisherman in Honolulu, Chile, the Philippines and throughout the U.S. and Canada. “We established some very good relationships, gained some knowledge of the seafood supply chain,” Wittenberg says. “So, in 2013, when we decided to transform ourselves from a testing company into a product company, we had a pretty good idea who we wanted to work with, and how the industry functioned.” Throughout 2015 and 2016, they worked out the details of how their fish would be acquired and tested, placed into cold storage, and shipped to Thailand, where the cooking and canning is done on manufacturing lines reserved solely for Safe Catch products. “It was a pretty steep learning curve,” he acknowledges. “But we threw ourselves out there and learned how to do it. It was tough, but we’re pleased with where we’ve arrived.” Since launching the products, the co-founders have managed to get them onto shelves at thousands of stores, from health food chains to larger grocery chains. “When you are doing as much as we are, and you are as poor as we are, you have to communicate about your product in any and every way you can,” Wittenberg says. “The best way to do that is on the grocery store shelves.
“We just have a lot to say, a lot of information we want to get out there, so we say it on our labels. And by turning the can upside-down, we can put a label on the top, and use it to say more stuff. That’s the reason for the upside-down can.” And perhaps, metaphorically, it’s also a symbol of Safe Catch’s desire to turn the industry upside-down as well? “That’d be nice, but it’s going to take more than one company in California,” Wittenberg says. “But we’ve enjoyed some success, definitely. And the industry is watching. So who knows? The product is catching on, so to speak, with health and wellness customers. We might be able to bring confidence back to the shelves, and put more tuna back in kids’ lunch bags. “Maybe other companies will start following our lead,” he concludes. “Why not? I think about this sometimes, but if there had been better testing back when I was a kid, and companies more dedicated to the health of their customers than making a product, my mom would have been fine. She’d never have gotten sick. “And,” he says with a laugh, “I wouldn’t have lost two-fifths of my weekly sandwiches.”Y Safe Catch, 85 Liberty Ship Way, Suite 203, Sausalito; 415/944-4442; safecatch.com.

According to Wittenberg, Safe Catch is the only brand of tuna that tests the mercury level of each and every fish before buying it, cooking it and canning it. Most companies only test one or two fish out of a larger batch. This is not effective, because two fish of the same size, caught at the same time, could have wildly varying levels of mercury. As Wittenberg explains it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set a mercury limit in fish of 1.0 parts per million. In other words, mercury is perfectly safe as long as it’s consumed at that level or lower—according to the government. But that’s not good enough for Wittenberg and Boches. Safe Catch has set its own, far stricter mercury limits, which the company claims are between three and 10 times stricter than the government’s, depending on the type of fish and the specific product. Safe Catch’s Wild Albacore Tuna, for example, is held to a safety standard of .3 ppm (three times stricter), while its Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna must meet a standard of .1 ppm (10 times stricter that the FDA). Using those standards, the company rejects an average of one out of every three tuna it tests— leaving one to ponder the question, what happens to those other fish? “They end up in the marketplace, probably purchased by some other company,” Wittenberg says. “If they’ve made it as far as testing, we know they’re basically good fish. They’re just not good enough for us.” So, how exactly, in a world where video games and computers lead so many kids into careers involving programming and technology, do two young men from California grow up to become canned fish manufacturers? The truth is, before Safe Catch was called Safe Catch, it was a technology company, one devoted to developing new forms of testing fish for mercury levels. The specific process they developed, Wittenberg says, is “a proprietary product,” details of which he cannot legally reveal in too much detail. Apparently, it is some sort of portable testing device, with a highly exact system for screening mercury levels in seafood. More than a decade ago, Wittenberg and company set out to perfect the process, then began presenting this new technology to a number of existing seafood companies, offering to test and certify their catches in order to assure that only the highest quality of tuna made it to the

Kuhn Rikon makes whimsical tools for chefs By Tanya Henry
R
udy Keller moved to Marin 30 years ago from Switzerland. As a teenager he completed a three-year apprenticeship with the Swiss cookware giant Kuhn Rikon. He was hired on full-time as their export manager and would eventually make his way to the U.S. by way of Greenbrae’s Bon Air shopping center, where he sold the European cookware from 1988 to 1995. For the uninitiated, Kuhn Rikon is best known for its gadgets designed for the home chef. “We were the first to introduce color—especially on knives,” says Keller, who cites brightly colored garlic presses, peelers and can openers as just a few examples of Kuhn Rikon’s whimsically designed chefs’ tools. The company’s effort to create ever-more functional gadgets included taking familiar items and attempting to make them fun and easy to use. Perhaps its most recognizable product (it sold 20 million by 2009) is a simple peeler that comes in an array of bright colors, has a wide, easy-to-grip
handle and makes peeling carrots and potatoes almost enjoyable! Kuhn Rikon was also an early promoter of healthy cooking techniques. Its “waterless cooking” or pressurecooker pots “used the food’s own moisture” and “kept the color and health benefits of the food intact.” Keller says that although Kuhn Rikon was ahead of its time in some ways, it was challenging for a Swiss company to seamlessly adapt to American tastes. “So many things were different here—sinks were bigger and the color palette—even today is very different,” he says. Keller recently stepped down, but the U.S. office (now in Novato) continues to operate with small marketing and sales teams. In these food-obsessed times, Kuhn Rikon’s colorful and functional gadgets serve as a good reminder to us all that cooking and preparing food are meant to be fun and joyful experiences.Y Kuhn Rikon, 16 Digital Drive, #220, Novato; 415/883-1101; kuhnrikonshop.com.

hat’s my favorite thing to do in my spare time? Admire my mammoth, multi-branching sunflowers, share their proud and prolific seeds and find ways to stick-it-to-the-Man. Yup. Don’t judge. Just follow. Your summer garden will be glad that you did. My latest defiance? Bringing back old-school seeds. In April of 2017, on International Seeds Day, the Center for Food Safety (CFS) launched a seed-sharing initiative called the Global Seed Network to help bring back some of the 75 percent of seed varieties that have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. “The Center for Food Safety has
been working to protect our food, farms and environment for 20 years and seeds are an intrinsic part of that,” says Erin Austin, CFS program and development associate. “CFS has been challenging the corporate control of our seed supply for many years and during this work, the need for an independent and open-sourced seed supply became clear. CFS leadership created the Global Seed Network to be a free, online platform accessible to everyone with the goal of connecting individuals across the country, and ultimately the world, to share their seeds and take back control of our food supply. Seed diversity is inseparable from food security, food sovereignty, adapting to a changing
climate and preserving cultural and ancestral knowledge.” Now, farmers, home gardeners, nonprofit organizations and the general public can connect with other seed savers globally. Here you can trade uncommon, non-GMO, diseaseresistant, heirloom varieties that are tailored to your individual soil and climate conditions. It’s like a social network or the “Match.com” of seeds. “Similar to Match.com, Global Seed Network users create a profile and can ‘match’ with other seed savers to share seeds,” Austin explains. “Users upload seeds they have to share and can then search for other users’ seeds. When you find seeds you like, you can ‘request’ the

seed from another user and then the Global Seed Network connects the two users to coordinate over email.” It’s simple and it’s free. No worries if you haven’t saved seeds before. You’ll be able to view in-depth seed profiles showing water requirements, and light and soil conditions, as well as the location where the plant was cultivated. It’s super fun, especially for us garden nerds. Currently the site has more than 700 members and thousands of visitors. To make the site a success, more folks will have to share and post their seeds. So, soon I will post my mixed sunflower seeds that originally came from the Petaluma Seed Bank. Why join the seed swap? Most ‘food eaters’ (my brilliant friends and family included) are too busy or too worn down to stay updated on topics such as pollinator decline, the illegalization of seed saving and the deluge of toxic pesticides sprayed onto our local farms or injected into seeds created by global biotech corporations. Since the adoption of genetically engineered crops in the 1990s, the use of herbicides (weed killers) has increased. The same companies also sell the herbicides; funny how that works. These giant agrochemical corporations have actually prosecuted family farmers for alleged patent infringement. They want to own seeds. As far as I remember, seeds were a free, renewable resource from nature, not a privatized commodity. Just Google “Monsanto sues farmers over seeds” and you’ll lose your appetite. “Beginning in the 1980s, large agrichemical corporations like Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta, Dow and Bayer acquired scores of seed companies, buying up some of the highest-quality germplasm in the world,” Austin says. “Those five companies now own more than 60 percent of the world’s seed supply, and they’ve turned seeds into a corporate commodity. They are rapidly genetically engineering, patenting and controlling seeds, often to the detriment of farmers’ economic security, food safety and environmental sustainability. We hope the Global Seed Network will connect seed savers and help to create greater awareness about why saving seeds is so important and how seeds are integral to promoting a safe, regenerative food and farming system.”Y

‘The Roommate,’ currently in its Bay Area premiere run at the San Francisco Playhouse, is the story of two women in their 50s living together.
THEATER
Two-hander
Women of ‘The Roommate’ overcome challenges in script By Charles Brousse
S
trictly from a performance standpoint, a twocharacter play may be one of the most difficult forms of live theater to pull off successfully. Solo performers rely only on their own talent—either they’re up to the task, or they aren’t. Multi-character plays are a team effort, in which weakness in one place can be balanced by strength in another. But “two-handers” (as they’re called by people in the industry) depend on actors having exactly the right balance, especially when the script has some kinks in it that need to be overcome.
That’s the situation facing Susi Damilano and Julia Brothers in Jen Silverman’s The Roommate, which is currently in its Bay Area premiere run (through July 1) at the San Francisco Playhouse. Luckily for director Becca Wolff and the Playhouse, this is a match made in … well, I’ll leave the place up to you, but it isn’t anywhere warmed by fire and brimstone. Watching them, I can’t imagine a more effective casting; their brilliant response to the challenges that Silverman’s script poses almost (and I emphasize that word) makes one forget that there are problems waiting to be solved.
Damilano is “Sharon,” a fluttery, thoroughly conventional 54-yearold divorcee living in Iowa City. She suffers from “empty nest” syndrome brought on by a failed marriage and the refusal of her grown son, now living in Brooklyn, New York, to allow her to interfere in his life. (Although the play doesn’t specify it, Silverman has her sounding like a stereotypical Jewish mother.) Deciding that keeping a neat house and staying alert by attending regular meetings of a book club isn’t enough, she advertises for a boarder with the hope that having another person to talk to will make
her loneliness easier to bear. Thus begins a chain of events that will have important consequences for both her and the new arrival. Brothers’ character, “Robyn,” is the exact opposite. She’s a refugee from the Bronx: Tall, lanky, and given to ironic observations, she is, in dress and demeanor, the very image of post-hippie cool. When Sharon presses her about her background, she provides cryptic responses. Her reason for moving to the Midwest? To escape the stress she felt in New York and get a fresh start. Instead of rejecting her, as might be expected, Sharon welcomes Robyn as a roommate and the fun begins. Act I feels like a knockoff of The Odd Couple formula. Robyn’s a vegetarian, which Sharon doesn’t understand. She’s a smoker, which Sharon won’t accept. Sharon worries that her son may be dating a lesbian, which Robyn thinks is just fine. Sharon also worries that he doesn’t love her anymore, which Robyn replies is par for the course. “Children,” she says, “don’t have to like us. They only have to survive long enough to be like us.” It’s mostly lighthearted banter that elicits plenty of laughs, but underneath there’s a gathering tension as Robyn reveals more and more about herself and her past life. She’s gay. She makes “voodoo dolls” that she carries around in a suitcase. She loves Patti Smith. In New York, she was a con artist who telephoned old people and talked them into sending her their savings. She likes to grow and sell pot. She did (in her words) “a little bit of auto theft” when she was particularly hard up. I’d say it’s not the best resume for a roommate, but instead of alarm, Act II finds Sharon engaging in a complete exchange of roles. Out with The Odd Couple and in with Breaking Bad. Defying Robyn’s attempts to restrain her newly awakened enthusiasm, this formerly straight-laced divorced housewife seeks to emulate and even outdo her boarder’s petty crimes, drug use and sexual libertinage—all (she claims) in the interest of achieving a transformative “liberation.” If that sounds pretty unconvincing, there is a surprise ending in which the author partially redeems herself and these two very fine actors work hard to keep the boat afloat. Long after the play is forgotten, we’ll remember their performances.Y NOW PLAYING: The Roommate runs through July 1 at the San Francisco Playhouse, 450 Post Street, 2nd floor, San Francisco; 415/677-9596; sfplayhouse.org.

n an era when ’60s and ’70s tribute bands are all the rage (particularly this year, the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love), it’s refreshing to find Luvplanet, a Petaluma-based band that draws its influences from bands of that time— Led Zeppelin, the Who and the Rolling Stones—but plays all original music. Voted Marin’s Best Band in 2016 by Pacific Sun readers, Luvplanet plays on Saturday, June 17 at Smiley’s Saloon in Bolinas. “Basically we’re a rock band with a lot of pop ingredients and harmony vocals, but we like our psychedelic music and we like our blues and our country and we just try to mix it all together,” says guitarist, singer and songwriter Mark McGee. “Diversity is something you can always expect from us.” Luvplanet was founded in 2003 when a friend invited McGee to sit in on a recording session with singer/songwriter and guitarist Nicole Sutton. They ended up connecting
both personally and musically, and after a couple of years of friendship and musical collaboration came marriage. “We did the unthinkable and crossed the line,” McGee says with a laugh. “Our music is so much about the energy, the vibe—there’s a feeling in the room,” he continues. Luvplanet, which also includes bass player Tommy Sisco and drummer Michael Amos, is like a family. “You realize after doing this for awhile that the ‘hang’ portion is really important,” McGee says. “You have to enjoy the people you are spending all this time with. Luvplanet is probably the most genuine thing I’ve ever done.” McGee says that the band has big dreams, and would like to be touring full-time. “We love doing the music—we love the art of it,” he says, “and we feel like there’s something big waiting for us.”Y Luvplanet, Saturday, June 17, Smiley's Saloon, 41 Wharf Road, Bolinas; 9pm; 415/868-1311; smileyssaloon.com.
By Richard von Busack ade scaly by the filigree of the lace of her long black veil, Rachel Weisz stars in a role so right for her that it’s seemingly named in her honor: Director Roger Michell’s adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s novel My Cousin Rachel. She’s no letdown to the actresses who previously assayed the role, Olivia de Havilland (1952) and Geraldine Chaplin (1983). Weisz’s Rachel is a seductive older woman, who perhaps learned the old craft of poisoning from her time in Florence. In the middle of the 19th century, handsome Philip (Sam Claflin, Finnick in The Hunger Games) was raised by his cousin Ambrose on their sheep ranch on the Cornish coast. Ambrose has poor health and takes his winters in Italy—there, he encounters another cousin, Rachel, raised in that land. Ambrose marries her, and shortly expires … but not before sending letters in splattered ink. Ambrose claims
that he’s been murdered by Rachel. When Philip goes to Italy to find out more about Ambrose’s demise, he learns that the supposed cause of death was a brain tumor. Soon Rachel arrives in England to view her husband’s land, though Ambrose never changed his will in her favor. At 25, Philip will own the manor … but he’s taken by the comely widow, and charmed by her sophistication. Avoiding “Masterpiece Theatre” syndrome, Roger Michell (Venus, Notting Hill) uses a handheld camera and quick editing; he also makes the farmlife notably coarse. It’s an idea to take material this moonlit and foggy into the realm of the realistic. But Claflin, playing the most foolish property owner since King Lear, can’t convince us of his blinding passion. My Cousin Rachel withholds an extremely important bit of information until the last minute. And the denouement isn’t set up in a way that can be believed. It’s rushed, it’s abject.Y

Q:
I have a close friend whose relationships always end badly. The new guy she’s dating has a reputation as a user. My friend’s very successful, and I believe he’s dating her for her business contacts. I need to be honest with her about this. How should I do that—considering she falls in love hard and fast?—Caring Amiga
A:
People will insist that they absolutely want you to be honest with them when they’re doing anything stupid—and then immediately reward you for it by exiling you from Western society to live and herd goats with a Bedouin family. Yes, even well-intentioned honesty is often counterproductive. This might be hard for you to swallow, considering how warning your friend about this guy probably seems like warning her that she’s about to be hit by a bus. And sure, if that were the case, upon your, “YO! WATCH OUT!” she’d whirl around and leap out of the way—not stand her ground and snap, “You dunno what you’re talking about. Buses love me!” Though it’s hard to deny the existence of a 24-ton object hurtling toward us, seeing things accurately is not always the first order of the human perceptual system. In fact, evolutionary psychologist Martie Haselton explains that we seem to have evolved to make the least costly perceptual error in a situation. For example, in the physical risk domain, we are predisposed to over-perceive that stick in the rustling leaves as a snake because it’s far more costly to die from a snake bite than to “die” of embarrassment when our peeps mock us for jumping out of our skin at a sinister-looking twig. In relationships, social psychologist Garth Fletcher and his colleagues find that it’s sometimes in our interest to err on the side of “positivity”—the rosy view— over “accuracy.” Whether positivity or accuracy is active is context-dependent, meaning determined by our situation. So, for example, when you’re in no rush to settle down, positivity vision prevails. Positive illusions are “associated with greater relationship satisfaction and lower rates of dissolution.” Other times, “the need to make accurate, unbiased judgments becomes critical,” like when a little voice inside you is yelling, “It’s baby o’clock!” and you’ll need a guy who’ll stick around and “dad.” Unfortunately, your even hinting that this guy may have ulterior motives is likely to make your friend snarlingly defensive—which is to say that she may end up throwing somebody out of her life, and it probably won’t be him. Of course, it’s possible that you’re wrong about the guy. Regardless, per the Fletcher team’s finding, your friend’s being able to see anything beyond how dreamypants he is may be driven by context—like when maintaining the rosy view would prove fatal to her achieving some essential goal. At that point, she might start noticing that their threesomes invariably involve the head of HR—and that if she asked him, “Baby, what’s your favorite position?” his answer would be “vice president!”
Q:
I’m a single guy, and I just never know how to start conversations with girls. I have a sense of humor, but I’m bad at coming up with funny lines on the fly. I’ve thought of using a “line,” but if I were a girl, hearing one would just make me annoyed. Do you have any advice on good conversation starters?—Speechless
A:
There’s a reason the line from that chick flick is, “You had me at hello” and not, “You had me at, ‘Those jugs yours?’” Granted, it’s better if you can be funny when hitting on girls. Evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller believes “humor production ability” is a “hard-to-fake” sign of intelligence in a potential partner. Research by Miller and others suggests that he’s right—finding correlations between humor and “verbal creativity” and intelligence. But note “hard-to-fake.” Trying to be funny when you aren’t all that funny is about as successful a tactic as trying to remove someone’s appendix when you aren’t really a doctor. However, even if you aren’t naturally funny, what you can be is genuine. To do this, just say something—perhaps about something in the environment. Maybe comment on the attire of the two armed men running out of the place with a bag of money. If a woman finds you attractive, she’ll pick up and respond—and probably not by announcing that if you were the last man on earth, she’d develop a sexual attraction to trees.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.
Astrology
For the week of June 14
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have to
admit that salt looks like sugar and sugar resembles salt. This isn’t usually a major problem, though. Mistakenly sprinkling sugar on your food when you thought you were adding salt won’t hurt you, nor will putting salt in your coffee when you assumed that you were using sugar. But errors like these are inconvenient, and they can wreck a meal. You may want to apply this lesson as a metaphor in the coming days, Aries. Be alert for things that outwardly seem to be alike but actually have different tastes and effects.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s a
possible plan for the next 10 days: Program your smart phone to sound an alarm once every hour during the entire time you’re awake. Each time the bell or buzzer goes off, you will vividly remember your life’s main purpose. You will ask yourself whether or not the activity that you’re engaged in at that specific moment is somehow serving your life’s main purpose. If it is, literally pat yourself on the back and say to yourself, “Good job!” If it’s not, say the following words: “I am resolved to get into closer alignment with my soul’s code—the blueprint of my destiny.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actress Marisa
Berenson offers a line of anti-aging products that contain an elixir made from the seeds of a desert fruit known as prickly pear. The manufacturing process isn’t easy. To produce a quart of the potion requires 2,000 pounds of seeds. I see you as having a metaphorically similar challenge in the coming weeks, Gemini. To create a small amount of the precious stuff you want, I’m guessing that you’ll have to gather a ton of raw materials. And there may be a desert-like phenomena to deal with, as well.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): There are three kinds of habits: Good, bad and neutral. Neutral habits are neither good nor bad but use up psychic energy that might be better directed into cultivating good habits. Here are some examples: A good habit is when you’re disciplined about eating healthy food; a bad habit is watching violent TV shows before going to bed, thereby disturbing your sleep; a neutral habit might be doing Sudoku puzzles. My challenge to you, Cancerian, is to dissolve one bad habit and one neutral habit by replacing them with two new good habits. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, cosmic forces will be on your side as you make this effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Dr. Astrology: Good fortune has been visiting me a lot lately. Many cool opportunities have come my way. Life is consistently interesting. I’ve also made two unwise moves that fortunately didn’t bring bad results. Things often work out better for me than I imagined they would! I’m grateful every day, but I feel like I should somehow show even more appreciation. Any ideas?—Lucky Leo.” Dear Lucky: The smartest response to the abundance you have enjoyed is to boost your generosity. Give out blessings. Dispense praise. Help people access their potentials. Intensify your efforts to share your wealth. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Years ago, a fan of my work named Paul emailed to ask me if I wanted to get together with him and his friend when I visited New York. “Maybe you know her?” he wrote. “She’s the artist Cindy Sherman.” Back then I had never heard of Cindy. But since Paul was smart and funny, I agreed to meet. The three of us convened in an elegant tea room for a boisterous conversation. A week later, when I was back home and mentioned the event to a colleague, her eyes got big and she shrieked, “You had tea with THE Cindy Sherman.” She then educated me on how successful and influential Cindy’s photography has been. I predict that you will soon have a comparable experience, Virgo: Inadvertent contact with an intriguing presence. Hopefully, because I’ve given you a heads up, you’ll recognize what’s happening as it occurs, and take full advantage.
By Rob Brezsny
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll never get access to the treasure that’s buried out under the cherry tree next to the ruined barn if you stay in your command center and keep staring at the map instead of venturing out to the barn. Likewise, a symbol of truth may be helpful in experiencing deeper meaning, but it’s not the same as communing with the raw truth, and may even become a distraction from it. Let’s consider one further variation on the theme: The pictures in your mind’s eye may or may not have any connection with the world outside your brain. It’s especially important that you monitor their accuracy in the coming days. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to go gallivanting so heedlessly into the labyrinth. Or maybe it was. Who knows? It’s still too early to assess the value of your experiences in that maddening but fascinating tangle. You may not yet be fully able to distinguish the smoke and mirrors from the useful revelations. Which of the riddles you’ve gathered will ultimately bring frustration and which will lead you to wisdom? Here’s one thing that I do know for sure: If you want to exit the labyrinth, an opportunity will soon appear. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Over the years I’ve read numerous news reports about people who have engaged in intimate relations with clunky inanimate objects. One had sex with a bicycle. Another seduced a sidewalk, and a third tried to make sweet love to a picnic table. I hope you won’t join their ranks in the coming weeks. Your longing is likely to be extra intense, innovative and even exotic, but I trust that you will confine its expression to unions with adult human beings who know what they’re getting into and who have consented to play. Here’s an old English word that you might want to add to your vocabulary: “Blissom.” It means “to bleat with sexual desire.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your life in the coming days should be low on lightweight diversions and high in top-quality content. Does that sound like fun? I hope so. I’d love to see you enjoy the hell out of yourself as you cut the fluff and focus on the pith … as you efficiently get to the hype-free heart of every matter and refuse to tolerate waffling or stalling. So strip away the glossy excesses, my dear Capricorn. Skip a few steps if that doesn’t cause any envy. Expose the pretty lies, but then just work around them; don’t get bogged down in indulging in negative emotions about them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Inventor, architect and author Buckminster Fuller lived to the age of 87. For 63 of those years, he kept a detailed scrapbook diary that documented every day of his life. It included his reflections, correspondence, drawings, newspaper clippings, grocery bills and much other evidence of his unique story. I would love to see you express yourself with that much disciplined ferocity during the next two weeks. According to my astrological analysis, you’re in a phase when you have maximum power to create your life with vigorous ingenuity and to show everyone exactly who you are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have a cosmic license to enjoy almost too much sensual pleasure. In addition, you should feel free to do more of what you love to do than you normally allow yourself. Be unapologetic about surrounding yourself with flatterers and worshipers. Be sumptuously lazy. Ask others to pick up the slack for you. Got all that? It’s just the first part of your oracle. Here’s the rest: You have a cosmic license to explore the kind of spiritual growth that’s possible when you feel happy and fulfilled. As you go through each day, expect life to bring you exactly what you need to uplift you. Assume that the best service you can offer your fellow humans is to be relaxed and content.Y Homework: Do a homemade ritual in which you vow to attract more blessings into your life.
