“ABYSMAL AUDIT”

“LEGISLATORS ON ICE”

SOME SUGGESTIONS

EASY AS PIE?

Kudos to Matt Grubs on his excellent—and revealing—investigative article. I happen to be a retired management consultant, and from my vantage point, what’s been going on in the City of Santa Fe is nothing short of mind-boggling; Mayor Webber has a huge job on his hands to fix what we now know to be “The City Broken.” ...

Santa Fe urgently needs to commission a comprehensive and independent operational evaluation. It must be comprehensive because an assessment focused on one or two specific departments won’t be sufficient, given that the financial (and other) improprieties clearly cross city administrative lines. They’ve also been going on for a very long time, and hence are likely to be Byzantine in their complexity. ...

The evaluation must be independent [because] ... staff are already overstretched and should not be asked to take on additional work while at the same time being asked to perform their daily tasks. That’s a recipe for either their regular work or the operational evaluation not being done in a rigorous and thorough manner.

There are many national consulting firms that do the kind of work I am recommending.

The state has tremendous say. All these idiots at the legislature have to do is to add a clause in prison and care facilities license documents that says state authorities can visit and access facilities at any time. We have all the power.

Why do we act like we are helpless to these federal morons?

Teeniors rookie Oison O’Connell gives Shirley Davis a hand with her iPhone.

Teens Teach Tech Youth help seniors through the perils of technology

BY ROAN LEE-PLUNKET S F R i n t e r n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

F

or years it’s been an ongoing joke that people over 40 (or over 20, really) can’t operate screen technology. It’s young people who are constantly texting, Tweeting and Instagramming, and never the two generations shall meet.

Enter Teeniors (teeniors.com), a Santa Fe-based coaching program that hires young men and women to educate seniors on the use of technology. This can mean anything from accessing voicemail and texting to troubleshooting viruses and downloading a bingo app. Following her work in the film industry, Albuquerque native Trish Lopez started the program three years ago; back then she was paying the Teeniors out of pocket, but since has secured funding and support from Walgreens and Comcast.

“Our goal is to empower seniors; to help them connect with their loved ones and the world through technology,” Lopez tells SFR. The Teeniors program provides some much-needed insight in the technology arena, but also bridges the gap between old folks and the younger generations, something seemingly rare in this day and age.

The program provides private, in-office coaching at $49.95 and sessions in the home for $59.95. But on a recent visit, seniors at the city’s Esther Gonzales Senior Center got the services for free.

“A lot of people refer to the concept as ‘intergenerational.’ Me, I call it normal,” says Gino Rinaldi of the Division of Senior Services. “If there was a No. 1 reason that I can say why I got into the field of aging, it was because of my relationship with my grandparents. I think

that there’s a lot of children today who don’t get the experience of the wisdom of a lot of our older community. This is a great opportunity to connect two generations. If you really think about it, if you get [young people and seniors] together, they don’t really have anything in common; but [the program] is a prop, it’s something in common.”

About 20 seniors and young people gathered on Thursday for a short presentation followed by a half hour of technology coaching.

“Kids say, ‘Oh, it’s so easy, you’re just gonna love it,” Shirley Davis says of her iPhone. “Well, it isn’t easy.”

“All of the elders are having a lot of trouble with this new technology, and I’m one of them,” says Cleo Velasquez, whose goals include learning to text and send photos to her grandchildren.

Teens in neon yellow shirts pair off with seniors and they set to work. The teens appear respectful and patient, and it’s clear from the way they connect to the seniors that they are here to form relationships, not just to problem-solve. By the end of the session, many of the groups have made progress.

“It’s better to have a one-on-one [session],” Velasquez says. “You can’t learn from a screen.”

Michael Waterman is enthusiastic.

“Oh, heck yes,” he says, when asked if the session was helpful. “Most of the other people that I asked were not as knowledgable and helpful. I was asking the wrong people. At first I was embarrassed [to get help from the younger generation], but you just gotta open up your mind.”

The program’s next Santa Fe session will again take place July 27 at the Mary Esther Gonzales Senior Center from 1-3 pm.

Weed Waste Nobody is tracking the mountains of plastic refuse generated by New Mexico’s cannabis industry

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

R

estaurants and retailers in Santa Fe are still using plastic straws, in spite of a May 30 city resolution encouraging alternatives to the skinny, biosphere-destroying tubes. But there’s another plastic source piling up in Santa Fe, with little notice or regulation: single-use packaging for medical cannabis products.

Because regulations for the medical cannabis program say each product or concentrate purchased must come in an opaque, child-resistant package that features detailed information about the product, dispensaries find it convenient to put even small amounts into single-use packages, creating unknown tons of waste.

For example, single cannabis joints are often packaged in their own plastic tubes. Customers who buy only a gram of weed will sometimes receive it in the same plastic canister as if they were buying four grams. It all adds up, but nobody knows the full extent of it: In an email, a spokesman for the Department of Health, which oversees the medical cannabis program, says the department does not track package waste.

Nationwide, some backof-the-napkin math shows that the amount of waste generated by cannabis retail packaging could be approaching epic proportions.

“The cannabis industry is predicted to be worth $20 billion in 2020, and if each unit is sold at $20, we’re looking at at least a billion units of plastic waste per year on an ongoing basis,” says Ron Basak-Smith, the CEO of the hemp-based container company Sana Packaging in Denver.

Some dispensaries in Santa Fe, like Sacred Garden on Luisa Street, are migrating to plastic alternatives such as kraft paper pouches, which are beigecolored and made from softwood. These are recyclable, but not biodegradable because they’re laminated with layers of plastic. Owner Zeke Shortes says much of the dispensary’s packaging

is still plastic, however. He blames the regulations.

“I think it’s very wasteful of this industry, with all the requirements on single-use,” Shortes tells SFR. “There has to be better ways to do it. … It would be great if [the DOH] had someone that was spending a little time on something like packaging so they could come out with a better ruling on that and allow us to reuse packaging in some way.”

Another dispensary CEO, Duke Rodriguez of Ultra Health, claims that producers have less say in how their products are bundled than he would prefer, because they’re packaged by manufacturers approved by the medical cannabis program.

These approved manufacturers, he says, weren’t envisioned in the original medical cannabis program regulations.

“I would say the majority, 75 percent of licensed producers, take their flower and trim to these manufacturers [who] convert it into a finalized product,” Rodriguez tells SFR. Some of those manufacturers include companies like Bhang Chocolate, MountainTop Extracts and Budder Pros, all based in New Mexico.

Rodriguez says Ultra Health works with four manufacturers in New Mexico, but doesn’t want to name them.

Asking manufacturers to take the extra step of using environmentally friendly packaging is tedious, but not impossible, says Lyra Barron of Fruit of the Earth.

Nearly all of the packaging for the dispensary’s products are glass (for tinctures) with metal tops, and paper that’s recyclable or compostable. The kraft pouches it uses are lined with bioplastic, which are plastics made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or corn starch.

“I’m on an anti-plastic campaign,” Barron says. Of the manufacturers Barron works with, “I make them go out and find glass and metal” to make vape cartridges. The dispensary even prints out the paper containers that hold vape cartridges and gives them to a manufacturer to use. Pre-rolled joints are also placed in tubes made from hemp fiber the dispen-

sary orders, though a DOH crackdown on out-of-state hemp might stop that.

The idea that dispensaries could use hemp packaging was all but snuffed out by a letter the Health Department sent licensed producers on June 7 demanding they toss CBD and hemp products produced outside New Mexico.

Depending on how the Department of Agriculture designs its regulations for a new stateside hemp industry—which may not be promulgated until midOctober—it’s theoretically possible some licensed hemp growers in New Mexico would be able to produce hemp for cannabis packaging.

Rodriguez, of Ultra Health, says the dream is for producers to be able to grow enough cannabis stalk for both cannabis product and hemp packaging, keeping everything in-house. But that would be hard to do with the current 450-plant cap in place, and with plastic options still so cheaply available.

“I think we will gravitate toward those solutions if the industry is encouraged to move in that direction,” he says.

Recycling plastics became harder in 2017, after China announced it would no longer accept recyclable products from other nations. The US was sending 1.42 million tons of scrap plastics annually to the country, including certain kinds of plastics used in the cannabis industry for which there isn’t a high reuse demand.

Much of it is likely getting landfilled.

“For the cannabis industry to have a pretty low-value plastic material to bebe gin with, and to try to find a market for that, to try to recycle that, it’s hard,” says Sarah Pierpont, executive director of the New Mexico Recycling Coalition. Even if cannabis packaging used the kind of plastic for which there is a relrel atively high demand, such as plastic water bottles, “it’s a pretty hard time to be trying to recycle plastics right now in the whole country.”

Randall Kippenbrock, the executive director of the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency, says facilities in New Mexico (like the one in Albuquerque that covers the waste from the city and the county) aren’t equipped to recycle plastic wastes that are small, like the tubes made for single-use pre-rolls.

“If it’s small like a pen or a pencil [size], more than likely it will be con considered residual. It will get lost in the sorting process. It’s too small for the mama chine or human element to sort out and it’ll fall through the cracks, and it’ll likely end up in the landfill,” Kippenbrock tells SFR.

Join Him Auditions open for new Gloomies in this year’s burning of Zozobra

COURTESY KIWANIS CLUB OF SANTA FE

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / N E WS

BY ROAN LEE-PLUNKET s f r i n t e r n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

t takes not just one performer, but a whole village for Old Man Gloom to burn to the ground. Beyond the puppet himself, the big night wouldn’t be complete without Torchbearers and Gloomies to dance around the stage. The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, which organizes the event every year, welcomes a new group of Gloomies to become Zozobra’s minions at the end of August.

For those too young to play with fire as Torchbearer but who still want to participate in the event that draws thousands each year to the baseball field at Fort Marcy, the role of Gloomie is open for kids between the ages of 11 and 14. Out of those who apply and audition, 35 are generally chosen to perform. After that, the training process is fairly simple, Kiwanis member Angela Ortiz tells SFR. Ortiz, who holds the weighty title of Gloomie department chairwoman, says the process is mainly about making sure Gloomies-to-be can follow directions.

Beyond that, there’s some simple dance choreography, which changes every year, that they’ll perform on the big night. All in all, there are three two- to three-hour rehearsals before the real performance, and Kiwanis provides a costume for each kid—typically something that looks like a hooded ghost.

“It’s a very special opportunity that they will never forget,” Ortiz says.

For Maya Childs, who’s nearly 12, being a Gloomie last year was a mixture of nerves and excitement. “When everyone

[in the crowd] was riled up, I was crying,” she says, “but once I got onstage I had no reason to be crying anymore.”

Now that she’s done it once, however, she admits the performance is not as scary as it looks, and she would definitely do it again. “You’re part of something really important and really cool,” says Childs, whose favorite part of the performance is being so close to Zozobra himself.

“I have kids that come back until they can’t do it anymore,” says Ortiz, who also works as a therapist and who says, for her, the most rewarding aspect is witnessing the kids’ enjoyment. “Their faces are so amazing when they get to the end [of the experience].”

Rookie Gloomies won’t be the only new faces at Zozobra. For four years, the role of head Torchbearer has been held by Matt Flores, whose father, mother, and older brother are all involved in the event. Torchbearers have one of the most important roles in the burning of Zozo-

Wanted: Kids between the ages of 11 and 14 who can follow directions.

bra—representing good townspeople, they bring flaming torches to drive away the darkness and turn the Gloomies into children again. Flores started participating as a Gloomie when he was just 11 years old. Now 22, Flores is stepping down from Torchbearer to study for his license in pyrotechnics. He plans to help out at other events at Fort Marcy, as well as other locations around the US. Adan Gallegos, 19, is replacing him. Although not a member of the Flores family, Gallegos is no stranger to the Fort Marcy scene: He sang the national anthem for Zozobra in 2014.

With all of these new developments, this year’s burning of gloom is bound to be exciting. August 31 can’t come fast enough.

A private “pre-enactment” of the burning will take place the night of July 21 when Tio Coco, a figure organizers

have dubbed Zozobra’s cousin, goes up in flames in an event for the National Governors Association conference and its guests. Ortiz won’t discuss that event, so it’s a safe bet it won’t include the tiny dancers.

Parents of kids who have a burning desire to be a Gloomie at the real burning should visit: burnzozobra.com/gloomie-application Apply by July 22; auditions will be held at Fort Marcy Park on Aug. 11 at 2 pm.

POLITICAL CARTOON CONTEST

A

Kerwin, crafted a play on Darwin’s theory with a little Russia-election-collusioninvestigation twist. Does it ever feel it’s still a lizard walking at the end of the line?

This talk of evolution comes from a lack of transparent communication in the nation’s capital; staying informed is an ongoing process of piecing together tweets and soundbites to deduce how political situations have evolved. For most of our readers, it’s certainly not an actual belief that our society is moving forward. Check out second place winner George Ossorgin,

who harks back not all the way to the beginning of mankind, but 2,000 years or so to the time when Rome’s games included men fighting each other to the death. Is that where we are heading? Wouldn’t that be devolution?

Special thanks to our weekly cartoonist Clay Jones of Claytoonz for donating a signed print to Kerwin, who also gets $100 at Second Street Brewery. Second and third place winners will receive their own prize packages from local businesses.

Happy birthday, America.

It’s sort of her specialty now. “I’ve had lots and lots of coming in last or not making it, and that’s inspired me to keep going on,” she says.

So she thought it was fitting that she was third on the list of people asked to speak at “Outdoors On Tap,” an event REI hosts July 17 at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery.

“I’m not the biggest champion of people you could ask to speak, and that’s kind of my background,” Bear says. But at 62 years old, she says, there aren’t many people her age who even show up for these things—and not nearly enough women of any age.

She’s not without a few victories, like becoming four-time winner of the Fat Tire National Championships. Competi-

LET IT MARINATE, LET IT SLIDE There are distinct anti-authoritarian sentiments in many smaller communities of New Mexico, and Madrid is no exception—so perhaps this is why there’s no better place to turn a celebration of American imperialist history into a celebration for the need for even more revolution. Plus, any day with an excuse to party is when Madroids show up in force. Bring lawn chairs and water pistols to watch the parade, which features everything from backhoes to vintage cars and fire trucks from East Mountains communities, to chickens in strollers and dressed-up alpacas.

Stick around after and wander the main drag, make some friends, buy some art, have a marg at the Shaft or some grits at the Hollar, and enjoy being free—at least for an afternoon. (Charlotte Jusinski)

MUSIC SAT/7 CHAIN OF COOL It’s been a minute since guitar-slingin’ troubadour Anthony Leon packed up and moved to Florida, and we’ve felt the void left by his band The Chain. A raucous and decidedly more punk take on country and Americana, Leon’s outlaw rock style pushes the band into this strange no-man’s-land of raw and heavy-hitting yet vulnerable and relatable. Let’s welcome him back with gusto, then, at a totally free Railyard appearance this weekend. For those of us who’ve been following Leon for years to those who just need an excuse to blow off a little steam, this is the don’t-miss show of the week and then some.

ART OPENING FRI/6

Sacred Elements Art in the style of magical realism As a child growing up in Mexico City, Jade Leyva read Gabriel García Márquez and her imagination took on the sheen of his magical realism—fantastic images that existed at once in reality and metaphor. Her paintings today hover between the two: women with flowers and bees in their braids or nests on their heads or birds peeking out of a hollow in their chests.

“When people view my work, I like them to feel a connection to nature and with each other. Even though it could be a Native woman from Mexico, I want people to be able to connect with that image at a deeper level,” Leyva says. “I use sacred elements; not religious, but designed to stir up people’s feelings about unity.”

Opening this week at Mill Contemporary is Leyva’s newest exhibition, alongside the Colorado-based landscape painter Cheri Vilona, who works in oils and abstractions.

Palin Wiltshire, a representative from the gallery, says Vilona’s new work for the show is unusually colorful. “I think it’s a really nice contrast to Jade’s representational work, that’s also very colorful, vibrant and full of life,” Wiltshire says.

New Mexican band Lone Piñon plays at the opening.

Leyva, meanwhile, shows work of all sizes, and much of it is brand new. In addition to painting, she advocates for seed preservation, and recently completed 14 community murals made of seeds. Not coincidentally, corn and bees are two central motifs in her work. In Southern Mexico, she explains, “entire cycles of the year go on around—people’s lives revolve around—corn.” As for the bees, she believes in “showing their royalty, because we depend on them, so we should be submitting ourselves to understanding that they’re way superior.” She paints their wings to look like lace.

“I feel very honored, as a Mexican immigrant, to share my culture and my work, and to share that people from other places, we also can beautify this country,” Leyva tells SFR. “We can have so much to offer. We are here to be able to offer our work and make beauty and better our communities.” (Eva Rosenfeld) JADE LEYVA AND CHERI VILONA: 5 pm Friday July 6.

Ghostly Musician Dylan Blanchard goes solo part-time

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Dylan Blanchard seems to have a preternatural understanding of pop music. BELOW: Blanchard’s wife Charlotte Thurman did the cover art for the new release.

I

“

’ve been gone from Santa Fe for a long time,” Dylan Blanchard says. “I moved around a bunch, to Denver, North Carolina, Delaware; but when I came back to Santa Fe, this was where I made most of my musical connections…”

He trails off, remembering the past.

Recently, Blanchard has been all over the place. Once a student in the contemporary music program at the College of Santa Fe and a member of bands like the massive indie orchestra Apple Miner Colony and indie rock quartet Babbleshack, he has since gotten married, picked up a job at Meow Wolf and joined post-rock band Future Scars as keyboardist. But throughout all his moving and bandmate adventures, he’s been writing his own solo material which is now set to be released as the 7-inch A Ghost in Arroyo Hondo (Just One single A of Many) on local label Matron Records this weekend. SFR debuts the song with an exclusive stream on our website at sfreporter.com/music.

“Writing came and went in phases,” Blanchard says. “I don’t have a routine, I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but when I came back I reconnected with [local producer] Kabby Kabakoff—we made a record together when we were students at the College

of Santa Fe—and I hadn’t done anything by myself since college. We thought it would be a fun experiment to go into his studio for a day and see what happened.”

What happened was a blissful pop gem that feels like a dash of ’80s pop met a journal entry examining death and loss. Ghost recalls a time, ages ago, when Blanchard and his college friends would travel to Red River, New Mexico, always stopping in the Arroyo Hondo area outside Santa Fe to pick up some homemade absinthe from a man whose name Blanchard can’t recall. A man who Blanchard says died well before his time.

“I could point out his house to this day, but I can’t picture his face,” Blanchard says. “But you know how sometimes you meet someone and you have this experience like you know each other?

It was years ago and I’m still reflecting on it—it was years ago, and if I’d tried to write a song at the time…”

He trails off again, but what he’s thinking is clear: Blanchard has matured as a songwriter. Usually happy to back up musicians he likes in their projects, he’s come into his own more and more.

In addition to the new 7-inch, he says he has enough material to put out more recordings and that he wants to explore the solo route more often. We hope he does.

“It’s a kind of pleasant-weird,” he explains. “I’m excited to be doing it. It’s definitely nervewracking, but there’s a part of me that’s always wanted to do it.”

A self-proclaimed fan of “pop music that strikes me as a little offkilter,” Blanchard says that he aims for layers during the finalization of his compositions. “I don’t necessarily write with that in

mind,” he says, “but when I’m arranging, that’s when I start to think about the textures and effects. I want it to sound like rock, but not as predictable as you’d expect.”

No wonder Matron is in Blanchard’s corner. They’ll release the single this weekend at a show that also features Future Scars and Denver-based indie act (and recurring Santa Fe visitors) Rubedo.

“I’ve been wanting to do more vinyl releases,” Matron founder Eliza Lutz tells SFR, “and I find it very interesting when a talented musician so often in the background is crafting their own songs; I was attracted to the push-pull of [the song] being catchy but having darker themes.”

The show also serves as a tour kickoff for Blanchard and Future Scars, who hit the road for a regional tour shortly after.

As for the new single, Blanchard says it was “like a pipe dream of mine—as a bucket list checkoff I can at least be like, ‘Hey, I made a record.’”

In a recent column, you said you never hear from married couples whose sex life got better and more frequent over the years. Well, now you have. My wife and I were married 24 years ago, and we are currently having more sex and better sex than we did in the first years of our marriage. There are many reasons why, including therapy, antidepressants, and weight loss and subsequent surgery—but I would have to say that the big reason is communication. If you had known us 25 years ago, Dan, you would not have given us good odds. We’d been dating only a year and a half when we got engaged, and we’d known each other less than two years.

I was a virgin, my wife was not, together we hadn’t gotten much past second base, and neither of us had laid our kink cards on the table.

We were (and still are) introverts with poor communication skills and anxiety/depression/ mental-health issues. I won’t say it’s been fairytale perfect—the kind of perfect that makes you barf and roll your eyes—but it’s been pretty damn close. My wife has been incredibly GGG, and I hope I have been, too. So there you go, Dan! Now you know there’s at least one couple out there whose sex life has only gotten better over the years.

-Better Erotic Ties Totally Enhanced Relationship Last week, I responded to IMDONE, a woman who married a man despite the sex being “infrequent and impersonal” during their courtship. To the surprise of no one who has ever given sex advice for a living, the sex didn’t get better after IMDONE and her boyfriend got married. “Here’s something I’ve never seen in my inbox: a letter from someone explaining how sex with their partner was infrequent, impersonal, uninspired, unimaginative, etc. at first but—holy moly—the sex got a fuck of a lot better after the wedding,” I wrote in my response to IMDONE. I did allow for the possibility that my sample was skewed; people with good sex lives don’t write to tell me everything’s fine. So I invited people whose so-so sex lives improved after the wedding to write in. And did they ever: My inbox is packed with e-mails from couples whose sex lives got better after the wedding.

I was a very experienced woman (five years as a swinger and partners numbering in the high double digits) when I first met the man who would become my husband. My husband-tobe was a virgin. Sex was barely okay and very infrequent. But we were both in our early 40s and ready to settle down. We also had an amazing friendship, and we were never as happy apart as we were together. It helped that we shared some kinks and were both up for what we agreed would be a nice and mostly companionate marriage. So we got married. And, wow, did everything change! We went from once a month to a couple times a week. Turns out he needed that emotional attachment to feel safe and secure enough to open up and relax and enjoy himself. We’ve been married for years now. The sex is still good. It’s not as frequent as it once was, but it’s really good when we have it.

So, yes, sometimes it does get better!

-Woman In Fucking Ecstasy Am I the first or the hundredth person to write in? Yes, sex for us got better after marriage. I suspect you don’t see it in your inbox very often because this isn’t what most people would consider a problem and we don’t want to waste your time! All it took for the sex to get better was practice and paying attention to cues and solving problems. I strongly suspect that perseverance and a bit of luck were also major factors.

-Practice, Practice, Practice My sex life improved after marriage. I am a straight male with a highly stigmatized kink.

I was deeply ashamed of my sexual interest even before my mother discovered my porn when I was 14 and told me I was a pervert that no decent woman would ever want. When I met my wife, our sex life was okay—but I was never fully present, because I would have to concentrate on my fantasies in order to sustain an erection. I eventually retreated into masturbation. My wife knew I was masturbating in the middle of the night instead of having sex with her, and that led to some enormous fights. So I told her about my kink, fully expecting that it would result in the collapse of my marriage. We didn’t speak about it for a week, and then she calmly asked me if I wanted to do this with her instead of just watching porn about it.

-Partnership Improved Sexual Situation I fucked my husband on our first date because I wanted to see if he was any good. He wasn’t.

But I liked him, so we kept at it. I have some physical ailments that can make sex painful. I also suffer from depression and anxiety, I’m on the autism spectrum, and I’ve experienced sexual trauma. I addressed my problems through counseling, medication, physical therapy, and even surgery. My problems are not 100 percent fixed, and we don’t have sex as often as either of us would like, but when we have it, it’s worlds better than when we started out. For me, being comfortable with my husband and secure in the relationship made it so much easier to communicate and work on fixing the problems together. It sounds cheesy, but marriage counseling really helped. It helped my husband understand himself and his reactions better, and it helped cement the idea of “ours” instead of “yours” as it related to the problems I was dealing with at the time. That he was willing to see a counselor and work on sex were also good signs. If I had a partner who was unwilling to talk about sex or try to fix it, I’d kick his ass to the curb without blinking. So with the help of counseling, I got him on board with dirty talk during sex (because it’s important for me) and I worked (and still work) on telling him what to do when we bone. He can’t read my body language, so a lot of the improvement came down to me being more comfortable with giving him instructions. We also have plenty of sex that isn’t P in V, which takes the pressure off both of us. I imagine you probably don’t hear from folks like us because, in addition to being less likely, we don’t have much to write in about. But we exist!

-Counseling Helped Our Marriage Persist My sex life actually did get better after I married my partner. I struggled with erectile dysfunction during my courtship with my wife. It really didn’t settle down until we’d been married for a while. I had trust issues and guilt issues—boring stories—and I got a lot more comfortable once we’d made that commitment.

Now we have two kids, and we have sex almost weekly. (Hey, that’s good for 40-year-olds!) I doubt it’s the norm, Dan, but that’s what happened with me.

-Enduring Relationship Eased Cock Troubles First, I want thank BETTER, WIFE, PPP, PISS, CHOMP, ERECT, and everyone else who wrote in. I do feel obligated to point out, however, that these are anecdotes, not data. And while there isn’t data to back up my position—that sex doesn’t generally get better after marriage—my pile of anecdotes is a whole lot bigger. So I’m going to continue to urge people to establish basic sexual compatibility before marriage rather than hoping a so-so sexual connection—or a nonexistent one—will somehow get better after marriage. But it can be done. You just need to have PPP’s luck or be married to someone willing to do the work, like CHOMP’s spouse was, or fortunate enough to wind up with someone willing take the leak, like PISS’s spouse was.

Local circus arts nonprofit Wise Fool is really getting into the swing of summer with its Bust! intensive classes and performances, an annual occurrence that finds women and gender-nonconforming Santa Feans learning the circus ropes and strutting their stuff this weekend (7:30 pm Friday July 6; 2 pm and 7:30 pm Saturday July 7. $5-$15.

Wise Fool, 1131 Siler Road, 992-2588). SFR spoke with Wise Fool board member, youth outreach coordinator and second-year Bust! student Alanna Herrera to get the death-defying details. (Alex De Vore) So what is Bust!, in your words?

Bust! is a seven-week intensive for women and gender-nonconforming people, and it involves a lot of physical learning but also it really teaches the whole person. It does a lot of diving into learning about ourselves in relation to where we are and how we exist in the world. We have learned a lot of physical circus arts—trapeze stilts, partner acrobatics—and then we’ve learned lots of other things outside of that. We’ve had a series of courses called Land and Body, and that’s specifically learning more about the Indigenous people who inhabited this land before we were here. We had a movement class. A lot of the classes really empower the individual to feel their way through learning circus arts.

Does somebody have to be in decent shape to be a part of Bust!?

It depends on your definition of ‘decent shape,’ but no, it’s for everybody with every kind of body. You can enter it from whatever level you’re at, and the instructors are wonderful about being able to refine the curriculum to suit everybody who’s engaged. You can have zero experience with circus and physical work, and you can come in and do something. Really, the thing that brought me back was the people who were involved. It opens up a whole new community.

Can you give us an idea of what the performances will be like?

Every year the performance is very different because it’s very student-driven. The people involved in the program are the ones creating the performance with the guidance of the instructors and Wise Fool. This year, the performance is really about connection.

It’s about us connecting with ourselves, our physical bodies and our emotional selves and our spiritual selves and other people. The layer beyond that is us connecting with the land and the planet we’re on. It’s all about connection. Part of why I pretty much live at Wise Fool is because I learn something new every day and I feel like it’s very much a place that nurtures learning about yourself as you connect to the world.

I’ve grown a lot in the last couple years being involved with this place, and I see everyone around here growing as well.

The Guild Dandelion Guild gets physical with new midtown location

VO R DE EX

DANDELION DREAMS: DANDELION GUILD GRAND OPENING PARTY Calixte Raifsnider and Dandelion Guild hope to usher in a new co-op-esque arts and shopping era in midtown Santa Fe.

Ages of the Moons

by Sam Shepard • New Mexico Actors Lab

For full details and to buy tickets, please see

www.TheatreSantaFe.org H youth performers

The new space operates a bit like a co-op, with vendors and artists volunteering for a certain number of shifts per month, though Raifsnider says she’ll probably be manning the shop more often than not in the beginning. She envisions a whole lot of administrative work since Dandelion Guild is always on the lookout for new artists and makers as well as consignors. “[Raifsnider] is a magnet for soulful, talented local makers, so anything she’s involved with I’m glad to be a part of,” TWIG founder and jewelry designer Aviva Baumann says; she tells SFR she’ll work about a shift a week. “She’s been very generous as far as the percentage the store is taking—she’s really supportive of all us small businesses.”

“I look for the quality of the work and … a lot of other, intangible things,” Raifsnider says of potential collaborators. “There’s such a team element and people have to be willing to show up, literally, in every sense of the expression—it helps build that group energy and dynamic, but it’s also really fun and I want people to have a good time.”

And speaking of good times, the opening event on Saturday July 7 should be a rollicking one. Many of the vendors will be on hand celebrating, the collective presents an installation of artwork from participating artists, plus Taos band Trummors and Santa Fe’s Tone Ranger are scheduled to perform in the beautiful outdoor garden space Dandelion Guild shares with the building’s other tenants.

“It’s still a little bit unreal,” Raifsnider muses. “In some form or fashion I’ve always known I’d have a physical space that people could come into. It just made so much sense.

This is what I want to do.”

O

nce upon a time, Santa Fe was all gallery talk, all the time. Today, however, a new guard of artist, maker, vendor, tinker, tailor, soldier, spy is on the case, and art’s not just about hanging impossibly expensive nonsense on the wall. Instead, we wear it, we experience it, we buy it from our friends and we implement it into our daily lives.

Dandelion Guild is one of these forwardthinking, up-and-comer outside-the-box arts businesses. Co-founder Calixte Raifsnider can’t recall exactly when she kicked off the project’s first pop-up markets, but she estimates it’s been a little over three years. She had some vending experience as half of The Bookman and the Lady, an online book-selling business she runs with her husband Benjamin Bailey-Buhner, but something about the artistic quality of vintage clothing, handmade jewelry and practical arts spoke to her.

In the early days, Dandelion Guild stuck to pop-up events in places like the Solana Center, Strangers Collective’s NO LAND gallery space off the Plaza and the Center for Contemporary Arts’ Tank Garage— but the more artists and makers who got involved, the more Raifsnider longed for a physical space. She now has one.

As of this weekend, Dandelion Guild opens a new storefront in midtown Santa Fe. Raifsnider identifies the first group of makers and vendors as small, but with work from local brands like TWIG, Dryland Wilds, Clouds and Copper and Heirmana plus artists like Liz Brindley, Jenna Pichnarcik and Elise Albarazi kicking things off, it’s a bit of a who’swho of local talent.

“It was starting to become this great big thing, and about a year and a half ago I realized I really love doing it—it made me happy and I wanted to do it all the time,” Raifsnider says.

“We worked with Ghost and we worked with NO LAND; when we did that installation it changed my perspective on things—it was this installation they set up, and rather than a pop-up, it was these artisan products being treated like art in a gallery.

From there it just kind of snowballed organically.”

COURTESY ICONIK COFFEE ROASTER

@THEFORKSFR

The New Classic Local coffee roaster Iconik’s new location features a laid-back, art deco vibe

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he new Iconik location on Guadalupe Street—affectionately referred to by its staff as Lupe—is housed in an old building directly opposite from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church on Agua Fría.

To stumble across its quiet patio, tucked away behind an adobe wall made taller by stylized art deco ironwork, feels like discovering some new secret garden hidden away in the Railyard. Layers of paint have been stripped off the exposed brick of the outer walls and steps, which are lined with repurposed planters replete with flowers and herbs. True to Iconik’s classic sense of form, the new location features a bold black and white graphic mural of an angel painted by local artist Autry Macias, who designed the original double-headed griffin logo for the ever-expanding coffee company’s brand. It all fits seamlessly with the vintage tinged aesthetic of the Lena Street shop, which mashes up mid-century modern furniture and decor with borrowed touches from the industrial revolution.

However, Lupe features more art nouveau influences; a natural outgrowth of the history of the building, which dates to 1926. The open kitchen mirrors the original location’s layout as well, encouraging a kind of familiar view of the front

and back of the house. The structure, which tops out at 8,300 square feet and is a former school operated by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe (and, after that, Bert’s La Taquería), is being developed by Ted Harrison, founder and president of the nonprofit Commonweal Conservancy. He envisions a project called Common Ground, which aims to be a social hub of the Railyard and includes a new downtown location for midtown yoga studio YogaSource.

Drawing upon the wealth of local creative talent, longtime customers were called upon to help out. Woodworker Michael May and welder Alex Barrett assisted with interior design. Seating arrangements range from antique chaise lounges from the 1920s to a communal table with a planter full of calla lilies built across its center, to a counter lined with metal chairs. The art deco touches are evident in the antique light fixtures, and in the old 1920s-era double sink in the men’s restroom. There are even artfully distressed church pews lining the western wall of the interior.

Never let it be said that Iconik lacks for intentionally designed, thematic unity—in fact, most of the decor was sourced by the company’s own baristas on a company-sponsored antiquing road trip through Texas. “We like to encourage our employees to do things that are out of the ordinary,” says Sean Ham, a former art preparator turned computer consul-

tant who took over from Todd Spitzer and Darren Berry in July of 2015, and now shares ownership with Lena Street Lofts.

In addition to incorporating his employees into the world-building of the new café, he frequently takes them on destination trips all over the coffee-growing world. “Our motto is, from seed to cup, everything matters,” Ham says. “Obviously that refers to the farming and processing of the bean and being conscientious of that, but it also extends to what to expect when you come to Iconik.”

Trips around the world provided culinary inspiration as well. Lupe’s menu was designed by Chef Mario Rascon of the Lena Street location, but features an entirely new lineup of smoothies, toasts and salads. The avo-pineapple smoothie ($7), which includes pineapple, avocado, banana and spinach, was inspired by the food available at a hostel in Santa Cruz de Atitlan, Guatemala, called La Iguana Perdita. An unusual combination of flavors to be sure, but the smoothie itself makes for a refreshing treat on a hot summer day.

I also sampled the Egyptian dukkah ($6.50), a toast topped with avocado and tomato and seasoned with a blend of nuts, seeds and spices. It was earthy and spicy, and I’m intrigued to see how the menu continues to evolve over time, given Iconik’s far reaching range of influences.

And there’s no lack of delicious coffee on the menu, prepared through an un-

der-the-counter Modbar pour-over system, which yields a pour-over style cup of coffee in the time it takes to brew a shot of espresso. “Because of the method of extraction, which is really low-pressure and low-temperature, I can make an entire cup of coffee with more extraction much faster without touching it, so I’m free to pay attention to customers,” says manager Chase Stafford. The resulting coffee is flavorful but served much hotter than a typical pour-over. The new location also plans to host open mic nights and musical events.

Two blocks from Collected Works Bookstore downtown—another location where the growing chain has staked a claim—doesn’t seem that far, but in the coffee shop industry, two blocks can amount to a whole other world. If Santa Fe can support two Starbucks within a few blocks of each other on San Francisco street, it can definitely make space for a locally owned, independent coffee roaster situated on opposite ends of the Railyard district—not to mention the Collected Works location as well.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado Review Bordering on just OK

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I didn’t see the first Sicario movie. It was just one of those things where every time I had the chance I was like, “Eh, not in the mood.” The real downside of this, though, was that all of my “movie expert” buddies gave me long-winded speeches about how it was a glorious new take on the mafia movie (or something), and that Benicio del Toro was, like, so totally good. I still haven’t seen it.

In the sequel, we join the clandestine world of shadowy government operatives who totally shift international power balances for the US government by doing subterfuge and torturing modern-day pirates and stuff. A returning Josh Brolin is one such guy—the kind of fixer who gets called in when the chips are down and gross stuff needs doing. This is why the Secretary of Defense (played here by Matthew Modine, who is presumably enjoying some Stranger Things heat) sends him to Mexico to kidnap a cartel king’s daughter so said cartel will start a war with some other cartel. My dumb friends could probably tell you the

girl’s dad did something in the first movie, but I’ll just tell you that Alejandro (Del Toro) wants revenge on this sucker, so he gets involved, too.

But nothing ever goes as planned in movies (that’s pretty much the whole thing about movies), and as the sneaky cartel war kickoff party goes awry, we learn all kinds of nasty things about the cartels and America and even snot-nosed teenagers whose cousins think it’s a good idea to turn them into illegal border crossing guides.

Woof.

What hurts the most is the first hour’s riveting setup and execution. We kind of love-hate Brolin’s character, Matt-something, but we also hate terrorists so, like, who’s the real bad guy here? We even start to develop a connection with the kidnapped cartel princess, which is right around the time the pacing slows to a slog and the players start to develop a collective conscience of some kind. Or do they? No, seriously—I’m asking.

As always, Del Toro is pretty great and Brolin really has perfected his disaffected tough guy shtick, but when a fantastic character actor like Catherine Keener is underused to the tune of pointlessness and the rest of the characters don’t even get names outside of, probably, Shadowy Soldier 3, it stings. Director Stefano Sollima (you don’t know him, promise) does his best, and there are some downright gorgeous shots of the desert, but Sicario: Day of the Soldado loses us right at the moment we’d been hooked. Oh, it’s not that it isn’t mostly entertaining enough for the most part, it’s just that it seriously becomes boring. Drag.

SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO Directed by Sollima With Del Toro, Brolin, Keener and Modine Regal, Violet Crown, R, 122 min.

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

+ DINOS ARE OBJECTIVELY AWESOME - JUST A STRAIGHT-UP BAD MOVIE

When Laura Dern and Sam Neil craned their necks to behold a wandering pack of brontosauruses in the original Jurassic Park 25 years ago, the music swelled, the emotions bubbled and audiences were filled with a deep sense of awe. When Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard run afoul of whatever dinosaurs happen their way in the franchise’s newest entry, it is painfully obvious that this series needs to go extinct.

Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a tired and way-too-long slog from JA Bayona, director of the excellent 2007 horror film The Orphanage. This bad boy doesn’t even register on the dumb summer popcorn flick scale thanks to its retreading of old material disguised as homage, parallel utter lack of acting and story quality, and heavy-handed performances from everyone throughout.

When last we left our heroes, they’d escaped yet another dino theme park gone awry and now, just like in the third Jurassic Park (that’s the one where Sam Neil goes back to the island for some reason), they must return on some misguided animal rights mission because—get this—turns out there was a volcano there the whole time and

RBG

it’s active suddenly and nobody wants the dinos to die. Again. Oof. But it turns out the guys behind the mercy mission are animal traffickers hired by yet another generation of ne’er-do-wells (plus BD Wong, again, for who-knows-why) who plan on getting rich through dino-cloning and genetic manipulation; people start getting eaten and our heroes must intervene or, like, more people gonna get eaten.

Pratt seems bored here as an animal behaviorist (yeah, right) and is not even allowed to do that rogue-ish smarm-charm for which he’s become known in better movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. Howard, meanwhile, brings no heat whatsoever to the role of a former exec now laboring under a nonprofit change of heart and trying to save animals because life is sacred or something. Other cast members exist, it’s just they matter so little that one almost wonders why they appear in the first place. Comic relief?

Depth? If so, you’d never know it, and the script certainly isn’t doing them any favors, nor are the endless chase scenes, perilous moments of dino terror or beyond-silly narrative.

With news of any Star Wars spinoffs biting the dust this week due to low box office numbers, we can only hope moviegoers enact a similar takedown of the Jurassic movies. Steven CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

American Animals goes both the dramatic recreation and documentary routes, combining into one fantastic retelling of an early-aughts art heist gone wrong.

Spielberg captured something special with his first adaptation of the Michel Crichton universe all those years ago. Today’s attempts feel stale and business-like, the sort of product churned out to take advantage of nostalgia and a slap in the face of everyone who ever felt a sense of wonder for the idea of prehistoric beasts. Boo. Muck. Filth. Slime. Rubbish. Boo. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 128 min.

the film is a study of character that practically demands of its audience: What would you do in their place? (Roan Lee-Plunket) Center for Contemporary Arts, Regal, R, 117 min.

AMERICAN ANIMALS

Director Ari Aster firmly asserts his place within the pantheon of new wave horror cinema auteurs with Hereditary, his first full-length film and a decidedly terrifying yet subtle experience that keeps up with—or even surpasses— other 21st-century highlights such as 2014’s It Follows.

Aster’s world is one that feels all at once dreamlike and haunting, yet all too real, like a nightmare one can’t shake or a long-residing and throbbing pain from outside the physical realm. Here we meet Annie (Toni Collette), an artist and mother grappling with the recent death of her estranged mother. Annie has seemingly cobbled together quite the life, from her husband (Gabriel Byrne) and children to her thriving arts practice and gallery representation. But when an unspeakable accident occurs, the dynamic between the family is inextricably changed, and her entire existence begins to unravel while those closest to her begin to suspect she’s struggling with mental illness and misplaced grief.

At her best, Collette achieves a measured balance between protective mother, loving wife and grieving woman; at her worst, she errs too far toward hammy. Still, her character is believably flawed and human even as we question whether her new circumstances are real or imagined (think Essie Davis’ wonderful sleep-deprived flirtation with insanity in the brilliant Australian horror film The Babadook). Elsewhere, Byrne is underused and middle sections drag under the weight of early shocking scenes. Alex Wolff (from that new Jumanji) stands out, however, as a son dealing with his own guilt and confusion, while newcomer Milly Shapiro helps supply spookylittle-kid vibes in a quiet, capable way.

It is delightfully surprising, then, that the true revelations behind the family’s troubles are nothing like what early looks and trailers led us to believe. Instead, Hereditary becomes a twisted vision of sheer evil and artistry that takes its time and builds slowly, sometimes excruciatingly, right up to its bizarre, horrifying conclusion. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 127 min.

+ UNIQUE DOCUMENTARY STYLE;

TRUTH IS CRAZIER THAN FICTION

- NOT ENUF SUMMER FILMS LIKE THIS

Award-winning director Bart Layton (The Imposter) writes and directs this brilliant take on the true story of four college kids who nearly got away with a rare book robbery in the early aughts. With clever editing and fantastic performances throughout, the film cuts back and forth between reenactments of the illfated heist’s planning stages and bumbling execution, and interviews with the real-life robbers themselves, weaving a story that is at turns hilarious, jaw-dropping and heartwrenching.

It all begins when Spencer (Barry Keoghan) confesses to his thieving friend Warren (American Horror Story vet Evan Peters) that he feels his life has no purpose. Oh, and that there’s this book of original Audubon paintings at his college library worth millions.

The charismatic Warren soon wrangles more accomplices willing to see the heist through but, as they soon find out, it’s not as easy as they’d thought.

Unlike other heist films, American Animals presents its players as operating with a sense of integrity. Warren, Spencer, Chas (Blake Jenner) and Eric (Jared Abrahamson) might want the money, but it’s a secondary objective—at their cores, they believe they’re good guys. Each worries about how this might affect their families and balks at the prospect of hurting anyone, and as we see the boys through every step of the robbery, it becomes ever more clear they are looking for adventure rather than profit; they cannot transform overnight from weed-smoking kids into criminals, no matter how many Tarantino movies they watch and hope to emulate.

American Animals is unconcerned with flashiness, focusing instead on the hard realities of committing a crime, from the awkwardness of sneaking a heavy book through a library unnoticed to convincing an art dealer to buy it. Candid and sympathetic,

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

+ EVEN WHEN IT AIN’T GREAT, STAR WARS IS STILL PRETTY FUN

- LOW STAKES; BORING HUMOR

Every time it seems young Han Solo is about to face some overwhelming and perilous situation in the newest Star Wars offshoot film, a little voice in the back of our head says, “Yeah, but we know it’s gonna be OK.” We know he’ll live, we know he’ll fight another day, we know that no matter what else happens, he’ll one day rescue a princess, fall in love, have a smarmy goth kid who goes full Sith and on and on.

And there’s the rub, even if it’s from a film that famously lost its original directors and brought on Ron “Willow” Howard to reshoot a hefty number of scenes.

In Solo: A Star Wars Story, we get the lowdown on what made Han Solo Han Solo, from his early adventures and his surname to his lost love and iconic friendships with that Kashyyykian champion himself Chewbacca and the super-sexy Lando Calrissian. But a significant chunk of the story falls flat under our preconceived notions about the character, leaving audiences to force-chuckle at that irritating movie trope wherein someone says something like, “You should fight for something more than yourself!” We know, of course, that he will one day.

Hail Caesar’s Alden Ehrenreich is more than capable as young Han, a rogue-ish type with a killer smile enamored by the idea of an outlaw lifestyle, but ultimately a survivor with a heart of gold. After a difficult upbringing in the slums of some planet, Han winds up fighting for the Empire in hopes of becoming a pilot, but Q’ira, the woman he left behind (Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones), preys on him always. Han is thus wrapped up in the intergalactic game of smuggling and thievery to try and make a buck and get back to her. Under the wing of the criminal Beckett (Woody Harrelson, Cheers), Han learns and grows and evolves and blah blah blah.

Donald Glover’s turn as Lando becomes the most exciting part of the film as Glover nails that Billy Dee Williams vocal affect and plants the seeds of self-preservation we know from The Empire Strikes Back. Harrelson shines as well as the unscrupulous space burglar with shifting allegiances and priorities. Clarke, meanwhile, feels a tad goofy and underused, a romantic interest whose backstory becomes “Don’t worry about it.” But Han’s doing-it-for-the-girl thing seems a fine enough motivation as any, even if a more complete idea of his guilt over not saving Q’ira is poorly explored; Chewie remains his most important relationship.

And it’s middling low-stakes fun through the galaxy, though in comparison to 2016’s Rogue One—a story with characters we hadn’t forged feelings about a million years ago—the Star Wars world has felt much more fresh and intriguing. Everything here is tempered by what we already know and lacks a certain drama because of that. Oh, and enough with the sassy robots, Star Wars. It’s starting to feel stale. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 135 min.

she’s filed, such as against a 2014 ruling that found crafts mega-corp Hobby Lobby wouldn’t need to take women’s reproductive health into account within its employee health coverage.

Regardless, she’s come to be known as a bit of a badass and an icon not just for feminism, but fighting for what’s morally right. American history fans are no doubt aware of Ginsburg’s track record dating back to the 1970s when, as a lawyer, she first argued before the Supreme Court and worked to turn the tide for women in this country.

About time, then, that she’d become the focus of a documentary—and a damn fine one at that. In RBG, from documentarians Julie Cohen and Betsy West, we finally get the full picture. It’s a tale of breaking boundaries and emotional resonance wherein Ginsburg is proven to be not only a staunch ally to women, but to men, people of color and indeed the American underdog. Through interviews with friends, family, former clients and current colleagues, a sense of deep admiration from all sides of the aisle emerges proving that even those who might disagree with Ginsburg can’t help but be drawn to her grace and enamored with her style and accomplishments. We also see a broad overview of a number of cases she presided over and how she handled them.

She is funny and composed, an avid arts and opera fan who seemingly never tires and takes seriously her charge to work for the American people. For Ginsburg, we learn (or re-learn) that the job is never about partisanship or special interests; it’s about helping to shape the country in a way that is mutually beneficial for all.

She’s not naive, however, and plans to continue the fight, she says, “so long as she can go at it full-steam.” There are no signs of stopping, andale Makers ’s #1 Tam it’s endlessly inspiring and amusing tocoobserve New Mexi 55.

XANDER was rescued and placed in 2008.

However, he and the other two cats that were already in the home have never found peace with each other and even a recent move did not resolve the conflict. We believe XANDER would be happier in a home with no other cats to share your affection. However, he does get along with a gentle dog. XANDER is a handsome neutered male with a short white coat and has two different colored eyes. AGE: born approx. 2/15/07.

While ROSCOE’s brothers were adopted in 2016, he remained shy for quite some time but is now ready for a home with someone who will give him time to settle in. ROSCOE is playful and likes some cats, but not others. In February 2018, it was found that ROSCOE had a dental issue resulting in his nose always being runny, so all his teeth except the four canines were removed. He is a handsome boy with a short coat and brown tabby markings with white areas. AGE: born approx. 10/26/15.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of July 4th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Twentieth-century French novelist Marcel Proust described nineteenth-century novelist Gustave Flaubert as a trottoire roulant, or “rolling sidewalk”: plodding, toneless, droning. Meanwhile, critic Roger Shattuck compared Proust’s writing to an “electric generator” from which flows a “powerful current always ready to shock not only our morality but our very sense of humanity.” In the coming weeks, I encourage you to find a middle ground between Flaubert and Proust. See if you can be moderately exciting, gently provocative, and amiably enchanting. My analysis of the cosmic rhythms suggests that such an approach is likely to produce the best long-term results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there any prize more precious than knowing your calling? Can any other satisfaction compare with the joy of understanding why you’re here on earth? In my view, it’s the supreme blessing: to have discovered the tasks that can ceaselessly educate and impassion you; to do the work or play that enables you to offer your best gifts; to be intimately engaged with an activity that consistently asks you to overcome your limitations and grow into a more complete version of yourself. For some people, their calling is a job: marine biologist, kindergarten teacher, advocate for the homeless. For others, it’s a hobby, like long-distance-running, bird-watching, or mountain-climbing. St. Therese of Lisieux said, “My calling is love!” Poet Marina Tsvetaeva said her calling was “To listen to my soul.” Do you know yours, Libra? Now is an excellent time to either discover yours or home in further on its precise nature.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You remind me of Jack, the nine-year-old Taurus kid next door, who took up skateboarding on the huge trampoline his two moms put in their backyard. Like him, you seem eager to travel in two different modes at the same time. (And I’m glad to see you’re being safe; you’re not doing the equivalent of, say, having sex in a car or breakdancing on an escalator.)

When Jack first began, he had difficulty in coordinating the bouncing with the rolling. But after a while he got good at it. I expect that you, too, will master your complex task.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you entertained any high-quality fantasies about faraway treasures lately?

Have you delivered inquiring communiqués to any promising beauties who may ultimately offer you treats? Have you made long-distance inquiries about speculative possibilities that could be inclined to travel in your direction from their frontier sanctuaries? Would you consider makGEMINI (May 21-June 20): From the day you were born, you have been cultivating a knack for mixing and ing some subtle change in yourself so that you’re no lonblending.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you somehow growing VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ancient Greek poet Sappho described “a sweet-apple turning red high on the tip of the topmost branch.” The apple pickers left it there, she suggested, but not because they missed seeing it. It was just too high. “They couldn’t reach it,” wrote Sappho. Let’s use this scenario as a handy metaphor for your current situation, Virgo. I am assigning you the task of doing whatever is necessary to fetch that glorious, seemingly unobtainable sweet-apple. It may not be easy.

You’ll probably need to summon extra ingenuity to reach it, as well as some as-yet unguessed form of help. (The Sappho translation is by Julia Dubnoff.)

younger? Your stride seems bouncier and your voice sounds more buoyant. Your thoughts seem fresher and your eyes brighter. I won’t be surprised if you buy yourself new toys or jump in mud puddles. What’s going on? Here’s my guess: you’re no longer willing to sleepwalk your way through the most boring things about being an adult. You may also be ready to wean yourself from certain responsibilities unless you can render them pleasurable at least some of the time. I hope so.

It’s time to bring more fun and games into your life.
