In the Beauty, Health and Wellness section of the Best of Marin issue [April 25], the many medical doctors all have “MD” after their names, as they should. The dentist has “DDS.” The holistic practitioner has “LAc.” But the chiropractor has no letters, no “DC,” “Doctor of Chiropractic,” after his name. This is wrong. Especially since it is the DCs that have to fix what was left, or made worse, by the MDs. —Don Harte, DC

Although mostly women seem guilty of wearing flip flops too often, everyone should be aware that podiatrists warn not to wear them on a daily or near daily basis.

How on earth they are associated with relaxation is beyond me, and even though I admit they can be cute, please use caution, my fellow Marinites!

The Agricultural Institute of Marin manages seven farmers’ markets throughout the Bay Area, including two in San Rafael.

Andy Naja-Riese on the future of farmers’ markets By Flora Tsapvosky

G

oing to the farmers’ market is a weekend activity that many Californians have learned to take for granted. In fact, the market is very much a part of the Golden State stereotypical dream, complete with permanently good weather and friendly folks. But what does it take to run one? Andy NajaRiese, the newly appointed CEO of the Agricultural Institute of Marin (AIM), knows a thing or two about it; when he begins his position this month, he’ll be running not one, but seven farmers’ markets across the Bay Area, plus a myriad of other tasks geared to promote locally grown food and healthy nutrition.

The Marin Agricultural Institute (MAI) was founded in 2004 by Marin Farmers Markets (MFM), and in 2009, MFM members voted to

merge the two organizations into the Agricultural Institute of Marin, with a goal of serving family farmers, specialty food purveyors, artisans and communities. AIM is responsible for seven large farmers’ markets currently operating in the Bay Area: The Thursday and Sunday San Rafael markets, the Hayward and Newark Farmers’ Markets, the Grand Lake market in Oakland and two San Francisco markets, on Clement Street in San Francisco and at the Stonestown Galleria shopping mall.

Naja-Riese, who previously served as chief of the Program Integrity Branch of the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service, Western Region, is ready for the task, which, despite its relative localization, is still rather challenging.

“I’m coming from working with nine states to working with three

counties,” he says of the difference.

“I’m really excited about supporting work in my backyard, and supporting local communities.”

Going smaller in his national scope doesn’t diminish his excitement. “California is so abundant, you always know you buy foods that were recently harvested, and didn’t have to travel,” Naja-Riese says. “In other states, farmers’ markets may be limited to summer, but here we have four seasons, and you really get to see the incredible variety.”

Naja-Riese lives in San Rafael, having moved to Marin seven years ago from Long Island. Experienced with leading regional work to aid access to nutrition programs, he plans to bring his expertise to his new position, which officially starts on May 7.

When broken down into numbers, the markets sound like a lot—400 vendors, 200 of whom are farmers, 120 food purveyors and 80 artisans, living all over Marin, the Central Valley, Alameda County and beyond. Visitor-wise, the markets draw around 18,0000 shoppers per week, or around 1 million annually.

“It’s a nice variety,” Naja-Riese says. “The wonderful thing is that the whole grid supports people from the community and the broader area, and that it’s all supporting local businesses.”

What are the main agendas that Naja-Riese foresees with such a wide network of customers and vendors? “The most important opportunity is that we innovate and create a really meaningful shopping experience,” he outlines. “Sure, people are coming in to buy »10

food from farmers, but there have been changes—you can buy food through your smartphone these days, so we need to be focusing on experiences, and to make sure that they’re innovative and meeting the needs of shoppers and farmers.”

One such activity, which NajaRiese is planning to capitalize on, is farmers’ market tours, which will educate shoppers about seasonality, recipes and local agriculture.

Cooking demos are also in the mix, as are experiences for kids, like scavenger hunts and educational programs. Involving people from the community as ambassadors, greeters and guides is also a budding idea. The new CEO favors technological advancements, too.

“There are exciting ways to incorporate technology,” Naja-Riese says. “After all, we’re moving towards a cashless society. Another element I’m interested in is real-time access to what will be available at the market, or an app that will tell you what recipes you can prepare with the produce you just bought.”

Speaking of trending shopping attractions, there’s yet another thing he’s looking forward to: In 2014, voters of Marin passed a regulation to allow a permanent farmers’

market with a canopy and a market hall, in San Rafael.

“We’ll be working with shareholders to make sure we define what it may mean,” Naja-Riese shares. “We’re in the process right now of working out the most important elements—what can a canopy mean? An educational program onsite? An onsite garden?

In the next few months, we will talk about guidelines.”

Solid plans and implementation of the exciting project, Naja-Riese says, will take place in the next few years.

While apps and plans for swanky markets are exciting to discuss, there are always challenges, like making farmers’ markets more inclusive and affordable, and engaging with a diverse community of shoppers and farmers. The key element, Naja-Riese says, is really getting to know the communities that the markets operate in and making sure that they answer the local needs. Per accessibility, he says, all of the markets accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) coupons and offer programs called ‘market match,’ enabling shoppers to get additional matching dollars for purchases; they also work with the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.

“I will be making sure to meet with the school districts, nonprofits and community organizations to understand the needs,” NajaRiese says, “and also to make sure, particularly in Oakland and Hayward and Newark, to have vendors that come from the local community. It’s extremely important to support the livelihood of farmers; according to a UC Davis study, every dollar spent at a farmers’ market leads to twice as much economic activity in the local region.”

To connect with more farmers, AIM does outreach with agricultural groups and benefits from the farmers’ own networks and connections. Storytelling and promoting farmers’ markets is another challenge in the digital age, which AIM meets with resources and tools gathered through research.

“I get excited about a lot of the stories we learn from Cooperative Extension, especially the ones about children trying broccoli for the first time or asking their parents to pick unfamiliar foods,” Naja-Riese says.

When he wants to get inspired even further, Naja-Riese visits farmers’ markets around the country; his favorite is located on the Big Island in Hawaii, where, he says, there’s an incredible variety of vendors, and the native local food options are endless. “It was so eyeopening to see and be introduced to new things, have new experiences and meet new people there,” he says.

As one may expect, Naja-Riese is full of useful tips when it comes to making the most of your average farmers’ market visit.

“Shop the seasons, come prepared with a potential list, plan to walk around for an hour to give yourself enough time to experience all of the vendors, bring your own reusable bag and really ask all the questions—farmers are so knowledgeable, so don’t be afraid to reach out,” he says. “And bring family and friends, have a social experience and have fun.”

What about those awkward moments, when you can’t pass up a free sample but end up not buying the product? Just relax, Naja-Riese advises. “It’s good to try new foods!

Maybe you won’t buy it today, but you may come back the next week and buy it then.”Y Agricultural Institute of Marin; agriculturalinstitute.org.

Hamburger 101 Learning from one of America’s favorite foods By Ari LeVaux

T

he hamburger is one of America’s favorite dishes and famous culinary exports. This simple meal illustrates sophisticated gastronomic principles, and thanks to its culinary stature, as well as some other unique attributes, the hamburger is also in a position to teach us something else: How to shrink the carbon footprint of our meals.

Beef is increasingly regarded as the most environmentally destructive form of human protein, thanks to the greenhouse gases released by cattle and the production of their food. Some grazing advocates have argued that properly managed cattle can be carbon-neutral, and the newly released results of a five-year study—a collaboration between Michigan State University and the Union of Concerned Scientists—

support that notion. Only about 1 percent of American beef is currently grass-fed, and it’s an open question as to whether beef eaters will stomach this change.

They would have to agree to eat grass-fed beef, which is often leaner and tougher than its feedlot-finished counterpart. And they would also have to accept eating less, because healthy grazing practices would only produce about half of the beef per acre, compared to current practices. The price, meanwhile, would likely rise.

As I will explain in a moment, hamburger nullifies these concerns, as well as the one that nobody is talking about: Americans would need to accept buying their meat frozen, not fresh. The idea that fresh meat is somehow superior to meat that’s spent months in the freezer is a notion as deeply rooted as it is

unsupported. Unless that attitude changes, grass-fed beef will never be more than a niche product.

Here’s why: Feedlot beef can be supplied year-round, on demand.

Whenever meat is required to fulfill an order, fat cows are shipped to slaughter, and meat is available, even in the dead of winter. But a grass-fed beef supplier is at a serious disadvantage trying to compete. The rancher’s cattle are standing around eating hay all winter, while those feedlot cows are eating corn and soy. The grass-fed animals weigh less than they did the previous summer, because hay is not as nutritious as green grass. Thanks to their fat reserves from the previous summer, grass-fed animals make it through the winter fine, but as those reserves are drained, the meat loses quality.

Grass-fed beef is of the highest quality when slaughtered in

Beef is increasingly regarded as the most environmentally destructive form of human protein, but the hamburger is one of America’s most popular foods.

summer, at peak fattiness. That is when the producer has the most meat per animal to sell, and the consumer gets the richest meat.

The hamburger offers a solution to this and every other obstacle to grass-fed beef. Unlike more prestigious cuts, burgers can be thawed very quickly. Just drop a frozen pack in a bowl of roomtemperature water. As a hunter, I do this regularly with my deer and elk burgers, and it’s some of the finest eating there is, year-round.

The only advantage of raw meat is the convenience. You can take it home and cook it. But in terms of quality or safety, raw meat might as well be called rotting meat, because this is what happens as soon as meat is no longer attached to a living animal—unless it’s frozen or otherwise preserved. When I walk by the raw meat counter at the supermarket, I give it a wide berth, glancing sideways and thinking, “I wonder how long that has been sitting around?” Frozen meat, assuming it was properly packaged, can last more than a year unscathed by the ravages of time.

Served on a bun with trimmings, the burger succeeds and satisfies, thanks to the sophisticated convergence of flavors that are presented to the mouth in just the right proportions. The meat itself tastes good, but the nibble of onion is necessary, as well as the munch of pickle, crunch of lettuce and juicy gush of ripe tomato. The hamburger is a laboratory for exploring how different tastes can come together in your mouth to provide pleasure.

I prefer to serve my burgers deconstructed. That way I can arrange each bite properly, without struggle to retain control of an unstable sandwich. The bites can be delivered by spoon, fingertips, on a toasted sesame seed bun, or in lettuce leaves. The burger meat itself, I mix with salt and garlic powder and a little bit of olive oil, before cooking. Chopped parsley or other herbs are a great addition to ground, grass-fed meat as well.

When it’s time to eat, I begin with a bite-sized piece of meat, and use a dab of mayo to stick a piece of onion to it. Then I eat it, and while I’m chewing, I’ll adjust the mouthful by taking nibbles of pickle, tomato, roasted green chile and whatever else I think will help.

But that’s just me. There is room for all of us, and all of our differing styles, under the big burger tent.Y

Spring Forward Heidi Krahling shares a seasonal recipe

By Tanya Henry

S

pring is officially here, and restaurant chefs often embrace the new season by showcasing their early favorites—asparagus, spring onions and pea shoots.

One of San Anselmo’s celebrated chefs, Heidi Krahling—owner of Insalata’s and Marinitas, and winner of this year’s Best Chef honor in our annual Best of Marin readers’ poll—likes to use the Egyptian spice blend dukkah on roasted spring vegetables. Dukkah is traditionally eaten by dipping bread first in olive oil and then into the mix of nuts and spices. Krahling suggests trying it this way, or tossing it with asparagus or haricots verts. She also recommends experimenting with different nuts, such as almonds or peanuts, to find your own personal favorite combination. In every case, Krahling notes, it’s important to properly toast the nuts and seeds to maximize their flavor and coax out their natural oils.

This heady blend of spices is sure to add depth, flavor and crunch to favorite dishes. And of course, salads packed with spring greens will get a nice kick of flavor from a hearty sprinkling of dukkah.

Happy spring!

Dukkah •

½ cup hazelnuts, toasted and finely chopped

•

½ cup sesame seeds, toasted

•

¼ cup coriander seeds, toasted and lightly crushed

•

3 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted and lightly crushed

•

1 teaspoon kosher salt

•

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a small bowl, combine the hazelnuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, salt and pepper; mix well. Store in an airtight container for up to one month.Y

‘Angels in America,’ currently onstage at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, is a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning two-part drama by Tony Kushner.

THEATER

Zeitgeist

The lasting power of ‘Angels in America’ By Charles Brousse

T

here are many lists of “America’s 10 Best Plays,” but all that I’ve seen agree on one thing: Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is the winner, followed by Tony Kushner’s Angels in America.

Having just attended the opening of Berkeley Repertory Theatre’s (BRT) splendid production of the latter, I’m tempted to rank them as a near tie. Both are extraordinary examples of how a single play can capture the zeitgeist of a generation in a beautifully structured work of theatrical art that has lived in the national conscience for many years, and doubtless will live there for many more.

I have, however, a couple of caveats about Angels that give an edge to its competitor. First, while Miller takes just under three hours to tell his story, Kushner divides his play into two parts—Millennium Approaches and Perestroika—which have a combined running time of seven-and-a-half hours. Ouch! You can, as I did, see both—one in the afternoon, and the other at night—during one of BRT’s periodic marathons, but that’s a lot to ask in time and expense, especially since (despite its humor and relatively hopeful ending) Perestroika meanders along as an often-repetitive tale of illness and death.

My second caveat pertains to the degree of universal appeal in the

two plays. Miller’s warning about the failure of the American Dream involves the whole society; Kushner’s subtitle, A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, speaks for itself. Almost everything that happens in the 1985 world of Millennium Approaches is given a gay perspective, often with an overlay of Judaism. It’s as if a curtain is being lifted on a foreign culture, whose intimate secrets are gradually revealed. At the same time, not everyone will feel the connection.

So, what was this gay world of 1985 like? The historic social, sexual and political revolution of the ’60s and ’70s has run its course and the “me first” conservative counter-revolution led by Ronald

Reagan is well underway. There’s talk of Star Wars with the Soviets, while Ollie North and the CIA play with fire in Central America and Iran’s leaders play footsie with an election-bound U.S. president over the release of American hostages.

Closer to home, both humanistic morality and traditional religion are in full retreat. Rumors of corporate corruption within the highest levels of government abound. In a nutshell, the outlook for liberal democracy is bleak.

Important as this background is, it is overshadowed by the convergence of two events that particularly affect the homosexual community: The movement to break free of the closet, and the advent of the AIDS epidemic.

Kushner skillfully reveals the consequences through his characters, and BRT’s actors bring them to life with unfailing clarity.

Joe Pitt (Danny Binstock), an ambitious young attorney, and his wife Harper (Bethany Jillard) have their marriage crumble around them when he finally admits his sexual orientation and she exhibits signs of the feminist revolution that was beginning to sweep the country.

Roy Cohn (Stephen Spinella), the famed McCarthy Era prosecutor who helped send Ethel Rosenberg (Carmen Roman) to the electric chair, will fight to the finish against the dark curse that threatens them all—even to the point of refusing to give it a name.

Prior Walter (Randy Harrison) is devastated when his longtime partner, Louis (Benjamin T. Ismail) deserts him after his AIDS begins to spread. Belize (Caldwell Tidicue) brings welcome “trench humor” to the role of the hospital orderly who watches as people die.

The Angel (Francesca Faridany on opening night, to be replaced

by Lisa Ramirez after the first few performances) flies in amidst the crash of a falling ceiling that announces the coming apocalypse.

All in all, it’s a superb production, sensitively directed by Tony Taccone, who helped birth this remarkable play more than 25 years ago and is just now bringing it to the stage of the theater he heads. Angels in America may not be number one on the charts, but runner-up isn’t exactly shabby.Y NOW PLAYING: Angels in America runs through July 22 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, 2015 Addison St., Berkeley; 510/647-2949; berkeleyrep.org.

Danny Click leads string quartet on new album

By Charlie Swanson

S

ince moving to the North Bay from Austin, Texas more than a decade ago, guitarist and songwriter Danny Click has made a name in the local scene with his outfit, Danny Click & the Hell Yeahs!, delivering sizzling, countrified Americana rock.

In fact, Pacific Sun readers recently voted the Hell Yeahs!

Best Band in Marin for the second year in a row in our annual Best of Marin readers’ poll.

“People must like what we’re doing,” Click says. “It’s nice to have people come to shows. Someone described [our shows] awhile back like going to church, so I started calling it the electric church.”

This month, Click unplugs and shows off a different shade of music when he unveils a new live album, Live at 142 by Danny Click & the Americana Orchestra, featuring a

string quartet backing his band in an all-acoustic recording.

“I wanted to do something different than what we usually do,” Click says.

The album was actually recorded nearly four years ago at Mill Valley’s Throckmorton Theatre, though the project took a back seat when Click had the opportunity to work with legendary producer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Rolling Stones, Wilco) to record a studio album.

That recording became Holding Up the Sun, which was released in 2015 to universal acclaim. Click spent the next two years touring and playing in support of Holding Up the Sun, almost forgetting about his Americana Orchestra until recently.

After finishing the mixing and mastering process last year, Click is ready to share the new live album when he performs a record-release show on Friday, May 4, back where it all began at Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley.

On the album’s 10 live tracks and one bonus studio track, Click reworks some of his most popular tunes and adapts classic songs like Bob Dylan’s “Girl from the North Country.”

Live at 142 by Danny Click & the Americana Orchestra achieves plenty of lush, beautifully melodic moments of music that may surprise Click’s fans. Even Click admits that he got chills while playing with the string quartet.

“Having those intimate strings right there in my ear while I sang these songs almost choked me up,” he says. “To me, it was kind of like being in heaven for a little bit.”Y Danny Click & the Americana Orchestra perform with opener Mark Goldenberg on Friday, May 4, at Throckmorton Theatre, 142 Throckmorton Ave., Mill Valley; 8pm; $30-$35; 415/383-9600.

‘Anote’s Ark,’ the opening film of the DocLands Documentary Film Festival, is a real-time climate change story that focuses on Kiribati, an island republic in the Central Pacific.

FILM

Land of Docs Annual film fest documents life around the globe

By Richard von Busack

S

elling itself with great gusts of uplift—non-competitive, non-juried and gender equal, all good things—the three-day DocLands Documentary Film Festival (May 3-6 at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center) may sound so optimistic that it worries the pessimist who, like Don Vito Corleone, insists on getting bad news promptly. The fest is big on encouragement: It includes an openpitch meeting with the audience voting on the best proposals pitched. The dozens of films have a concentration of the upbeat aspect of downbeat problems.

Chris Jordan’s Albatross profiles the fascinating creatures. They may have inspired poet Samuel

Taylor Coleridge (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner), but the wellknown ‘gooney birds’ aren’t poetry in motion when they land. Their principle preserve is Midway Atoll, remotest of the Hawaiian Islands, some 1,300 miles from Oahu; director Chris Jordan spent years on that faraway place watching them. Distance hasn’t protected these high-flying birds from peril, however; the world’s discarded plastic has found its way into the birds’ food chains.

Even farther out into the seas is Anote’s Ark by Matthieu Rytz, observing the slow rise of waters in the nation of Kiribati in the Central Pacific—population 114,000, it’s situated on a series of atolls

hundreds of miles apart. As the climate changes, there’s the question of what will become of them all.

From too much water to not enough: Co-billed with Anote’s Ark is Maya Craig’s short documentary Water Town about the craze for supermarket water, and a corporate grab of the aquifer in the town of Weed, California. Not too far away from Weed is the Eel River, subject of A River’s Last Chance, about how both wineries and marijuana grows are endangering a river that’s already drying up.

No one who saw the 2009 Best Documentary Oscar winner The Cove will forget it—as suspenseful as a spy movie and as outrageous as any muckraking doc. It concerned the

obscene market for dolphin meat in Japan. Butchering creatures of such intelligence and friendliness is disgusting, but happily the cetaceans have their revenge: It’s bad for the people who eat them, since dolphin meat is loaded with mercury and PCBs. The Cove’s director Louie Psihoyos will be on hand to receive the first DocLands Honors Award and to screen his recent film The Game Changers. To sum up The Game Changers briefly: It’s a profile of several vegetarian athletes who prove that you don’t need to eat a bull to be as strong as one.

Those with an equal passion for cinema and garage sales will note Saving Brinton, an Iowa-based documentary about Michael Zahs of Washington, Iowa. This vastly bearded, retired junior high school history teacher stored relics at his place—everything from architectural salvage to memorabilia of Grant Wood (the artist behind American Gothic).

At one estate sale, Zahs found something choice: A cache of films left behind by the pioneer Midwestern film exhibitor William Brinton. Movies go back a long way out there. A fun fact, gleaned from Mike Kilen’s article about Zahs in the Des Moines Register: The oldest continually operated movie theater in the world is the State Theater, in that town of Washington.

When Zahs sorted out his tangle of celluloid, it was revealed to contain two lost films by special-effects pioneer George Méliès—the subject of Martin Scorsese’s film Hugo.

To quote Scorsese, go and get your shine box for Shiners, Stacey Tenenbaum’s observation of various humble and lovable shoe-shiners from Mexico, to Japan to New York City (one an ex-accountant who had had enough with numbercrunching). Harleen Singh’s Drawn Together: Comics, Diversity and Stereotypes, is a choice subject during the year of T’Challa the Black Panther’s triumph; interviewees doing their part to put the rainbow back into comics include Keith Knight of The K Chronicles and Andrew Farago of the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco; one of the playful yet pithy ideas being Vishavjit Singh, a cosplayer who dressed as a turbaned Captain America.Y DocLands Documentary Film Festival, May 3-6, Christopher B.

By Amy Alkon

Q:

I recently had my addiction recovery memoir published. I’m very honest and vulnerable in it, and readers feel super-connected to me because of it. Most just briefly thank me for how it changed their life, etc. However, a few have really latched on to me via social media. I respond to their first message, and then they write back with pretty much a whole novel and message me constantly. I don’t want to be mean, but this is timeconsuming and draining.—Unprepared

A:

Not to worry … that fan won’t be stalking you forever—that is, if you’ll just sign the medical release she’s had drawn up for the two of you to get surgically conjoined.

In writing your book, you probably wanted to help others get the monkey off their back—not point them to the open space on yours so they could line up to take its place. The interaction these fans have with you is a “parasocial” relationship, a psych term describing a strong one-sided emotional bond a person develops with a fictional character, celebrity or media figure.

These people aren’t crazy; they know, for example, that Jimmy Kimmel isn’t their actual “bro.” But we’re driven by psychological adaptations that are sometimes poorly matched with our modern world, as they evolved to solve mating and survival problems in an ancestral (hunter-gatherer) environment.

Though it still pays for us to try to get close to high-status people—so that we might learn the ropes, get status by association and get some trickle-down benefits— the adaptation pushing us to do this evolved when we gathered around fires, not flat-screens. This makes our poor little Stone Age minds ill-equipped to differentiate between people we know and people we know from books, movies and TV. Psychologist David C. Giles and others who study parasocial relationships were used to these interactions remaining one-sided, as until recently, it was challenging to even find a celeb’s agent’s mailing address to send them a letter.

However, as you’ve experienced, that’s changed thanks to social media, which is to say, Beyonce’s on Twitter. But the fact that you can be reached doesn’t mean that you owe anyone your time. As soon as you see someone trying to hop the fence from fan to friend, write something brief but kind, such as: “It means a lot to me that you connected with my book. However, I’m swamped with writing deadlines, so I can’t carry on an email exchange, much as I’d like to. Hope you understand!”

This message establishes a boundary, but without violating your fan’s dignity.

Dignity, explains international conflict resolution specialist Donna Hicks, is an “internal state of peace” a person feels when they’re treated as if they have value and their feelings matter. Preserving a person’s dignity can actually make the difference between their hating you and their accepting your need to have a life— beyond waiting around to respond to their next 8,000-word email.

Q:

I’m a single woman in my mid-30s, and I can’t cook. I’m also not interested in learning. My parents are old-school, and this worries them. They keep telling me that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Is that really still true?—Takeout Queen

A:

A man does not stay with a mean woman simply because she makes a mean pot roast: “Yeah, bro, I was all ready to leave her, but then my stomach chained itself to the kitchen table.”

However, what really matters for a lot of men is that you’re loving as you pry the plastic lid off their dinner. Being loving is not just a state of mind; it is something you do—a habit of being responsive to what marriage researcher John Gottman calls “bids” from your partner for your attention, affection or support. Being responsive involves listening to and engaging with your partner, even in the mundane little moments of life.

Sure, some men will find it a deal breaker that you don’t cook—same as some will find it a deal breaker if you aren’t up for raising children or llamas. But even a cursory familiarity with male anatomy suggests that there are a number of ways to a man’s heart, from the obvious—a surgical saw through the sternum—to a more indirect but far more popular route: Showing him that you can tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

Astrology

For the week of May 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hate rampant

consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had trouble outgrowing.

Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your out-of-date sadness. Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help in expressing. Or buy an influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of the above! (And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): These days, you

have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and generosity of your allies, friends and loved ones.

The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers. Be discerning about how you wield that potent stuff ! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all of the benefits that it can bring you. It’s OK to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual, as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening. I predict that the bridge you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be redemptive.

Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born under the astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kaf ka is regarded as one of the 20th century’s major literary talents.

Alas, he made little money from his writing. Among the day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a takeoff point to meditate on your destiny, Cancerian.

Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about?

Are you admired and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you?

If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy.

I believe that you will have the power to get closer to doing more of what you love to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you really wanted

to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 47 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other marks as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes, weaving the biggest garland using defunct iPhones or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communications, high-quality community-building and smart career moves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was among history’s three most influential scientists. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has been described as the central figure in modern philosophy. Henry James (1843-1916) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature.

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common? They never had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I view this fact with alarm. What does it mean that Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation? With that as our context, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20th century abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning.

“Cézanne did it. Picasso did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and descendants from stale constraints. Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise that the near future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than 24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect that this may be somewhat of an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio. A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that will ripen for a long time before it hatches. But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy has fully ripened—when it becomes available as a living presence—I bet it will last a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey Road in 1969, he said some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.”

He added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.” Years later, however, Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment. But I’m reasonably sure that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation—and it won’t take years.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion.

So how about it? Are you swooning, twirling and uncoiling? Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures.

Escape to a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good.” So proclaimed the smartest Aquarian 6-year-old girl I know as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with her! “Twenty years from now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone seems to be all bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however! For example, I bet you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all good.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of untying a knot or solving a knotty problem, and “enodous” means “free of knots.” Let’s make these your celebratory words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then. Invoke them as holy chants and potent prayers leading you to discover the precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls you most need to untangle.Y
