Let’s Talk About Home Care.
Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents.
Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.

For more information or to sign up, visit projectavary.org, or contact Howard at howard1@triviacafe.com. When Jake Straus was 14, his parents weren’t happy that he spent hours and hours in his room playing video games. Today, he’s 24, and his parents are supportive of this activity, because now GernaderJake, as he’s known online, is paid to do it. He’s a full-time professional video gamer on Twitch, a live streaming video platform, where 140,000 followers watch as he plays a game called Destiny. Viewers tip the Corte Madera resident cash to thank him for the entertainment or to entice him to answer a question about navigating through the game. Last weekend, he asked his viewers from around the globe to donate to the Marin Humane Society (MHS), in lieu of tipping him, and raised more than $38,000. “I wanted to do a charity event and I noticed how strong and bonded the community is,” Straus says. A lifelong love of animals motivated him to choose MHS as the recipient. Straus is proud that fellow gamers, who some-

So is Marin Humane. “By far, this is the biggest peer-to-peer fundraiser (i.e., asking your neighbors to donate to a cause) that we’ve ever had,” says Lisa Bloch, spokesperson for MHS. “It’s a huge boost to our budget.” Straus hopes that the success of the event will inspire other gamers to raise funds for the charity of their choice.

Short-staffing issues and “a punitive environment where people feel their mistakes are held against them” have also contributed to the deficiencies.

News Bites
Marin General under fire and pot monopoly By Tom Gogola
U
nion workers and officials associated with Marin General Hospital gathered for a public forum on Saturday, May 6 to highlight deficiencies in care for both patients and employees at the nonprofit hospital, which enjoyed a $22 million profit in 2016. Tim Jenkins, a labor representative and researcher with the Teamsters, says the profits are the good news. “The bad news is that while finances are up, indicators of quality patient care have gone down.” In a statement, Jenkins cites an increase in recent years in so-called “service deficiencies” identified by state inspectors with the California
Department of Public Health. The hospital was run by Sutter from 1996 through 2010 under a lease promulgated by the Marin Healthcare District, which owns the hospital and the land that it’s on, says Jenkins. The District leased the operations to the Marin General Hospital Corporation (MGH) in 1985; as Jenkins notes, MGH then signed a lease with the healthcare giant Sutter. The hospital, he writes in his testimony, “has been doing well financially” since Sutter opted out of its lease in 2010. Jenkins cites state reports as he notes in his statement that, “under Sutter, from 2004-2010 there were eight state administrative penalties assessed against MGH. From 20112016, that has increased to 12 state
administrative penalties. In 2014, more than three years after taking over from Sutter, the hospital was cited and issued a $100,000 penalty for failing to develop, maintain, and implement written policies for the surgical department.” A series of hospital workers gave testimony at the May 6 public hearing, hosted by North Bay Jobs with Justice. Panel members included Marin County Supervisor Damon Connolly, North Bay Jobs with Justice chairperson Matt Myres, and two Marin County faith leaders. The workers and union representatives provided testimony that claimed the spike in service deficiencies was the fault of a management team that has failed, as Jenkins says, “to take action to
A Sacramento Senate budget subcommittee met on Thursday, May 4 to discuss numerous cannabisrelated issues as the regulatory framework under Proposition 64 is implemented and tweaked. A rider bill to last year’s voter-approved legalization is making its way through the legislature to address taxation and organic certification and licensing, among other stickybud wickets yet to be resolved. The real sticking point to the bill, says California Growers Alliance Executive Director Hezekiah Allen, is a proposed repeal of Section 26051, which gives state officials latitude to deny cannabis applications if they are concerned the applicant might “create or maintain monopoly powers.” Prop 64 explicitly protected legacy growers from the disaster that has befallen, for example, border-state Oregon, now under siege from an industry formerly known as Big Tobacco. California’s law, by contrast, gave a five-year window of protection for growers, to protect their nonpatented flowers’ corporate takeover. Section 26051 also covers a range of deniable factors or concerns, which have broad support among the various interest groups that pushed for them (law enforcement, environmental groups), and as Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom laid out the framework for legalization in his Blue Ribbon Commission study. Under the current law, applications for cannabis-related businesses can also be denied if authorities believe they would encourage underage use or adult abuse, violate environmental protection laws or contribute to the black market. And, if an applicant would “allow unreasonable restraints on competition.” By every indication, the repeal-26051 effort is not being pushed by children, criminals, addicts or illicit stream-side growers. And so who does that leave?Y
Simple Pleasures Artist Cristina Rose-Guizar on her playful work By Flora Tsapovsky
N
owadays, the global is local and the universal can be deeply personal. If this sounds like an empty statement, take a look at the story of Cristina Rose-Guizar, 39, an accessories designer with an international reach and a unique coming-to-America story, working and creating right here in San Rafael. For her brand, Centinelle, Guizar illustrates colorful silk scarves, pocket squares and silkcotton blend bandanas, decorating them with whimsical, fantastical worlds made up of hypnotizing cats, koalas in tiny pedal boats, dancing donkeys, colorful guitars, corn husks and ‘Mexican pinup’ ladies. The latter two are a nod to her home country of Mexico, which Rose-Guizar left two years ago, after meeting her future husband in San Francisco, while visiting a friend. As a girl back in Mexico, growing up in Morelia, a four-hour drive from Mexico City, Rose-Guizar always loved sewing. “I started sewing when I was 5 years old with a little toy
machine that my mom bought me for my birthday” she recalls, “making clothes for all my dolls. The artist also expressed, from a young age, a special interest in drawing. “All kids draw, but I continued, always forming projects that would need some illustration, and I drew for the high school newspaper.” Rose-Guizar went to Jannette Klein Fashion University in Mexico City and launched her first collection in 2010. The scarves were there from the beginning, as a simple and straightforward product. “I wanted to create something easy to sell, so Centinelle started with handmade/homemade accessories, focusing on local fabrics and between friends at first,” she says. “When traveling, I started to look for the fabric store wherever I was and get fabrics. Once on a visit to L.A., I found a huge store in the fashion district and I got crazy. I thought, this could be a dress, too—and just like that, that same year, Centinelle accessories became Centinelle clothing, with pieces
focused on craftsmanship, natural fabrics and prints designed by me.” The name of the brand is a story among friends, too. “My friends in Mexico City gave me the nickname of Chispa, which means ‘sparkle,’ 20 years ago,” Rose-Guizar says. “So I wanted to give the brand a name related to that. Centella is a Spanish synonym for ‘sparkle,’ so playing with that I ended up with Centinelle.” After a couple of years of designing both accessories and garments, Rose-Guizar understood the challenges involved in creating clothes, especially when it comes to providing sizes and the right fit. “One day in 2014, I sat down and made my business plan,” she says. “That’s when I went back to the original accessories plan, specializing in silk accessories, and applying all I learnt in the past years.” Besides their practical appeal and the ease of their production, RoseGuizar loves the versatility of scarves. “As a child growing up in the ’70s, I remember my mom having these gorgeous scarves in her walk-in

closet, lots of them, from different places; beautiful, colorful, elegant but fun, with bold prints that some people probably will never dare to wear, but would accept in a scarf. It’s like a well-kept secret,” she says. The artist’s lifelong passion for illustration, too, contributed to the expansion of scarves. “I started to realize that I enjoy the textile design process the most,” Rose-Guizar says. After Rose-Guizar draws and adds details digitally, the prints are placed on the scarves at a manufacturing facility in China; they then make the trip around the world back to RoseGuizar’s home studio in San Rafael. Before moving to the U.S., RoseGuizar lived in Mexico City. “I was lucky to live a very nice life in Mexico city, in the Napoles neighborhood, surrounded by jacaranda trees that bloom beautiful purple flowers every spring,” she says. “I lived 15 minutes away from the Condesa neighborhood, and it had a lot of cool restaurants and a farmers’ market at walking distance.” Rose-Guizar and her then-futurehusband lived in San Francisco upon her arrival to the country, and later moved to San Rafael. While living in San Francisco she came pretty close to her favorite Mexico City vibe; the move to Marin was an adjustment. The reason for the move? Partially, two cats, Evo and Naoko, whom Rose-Guizar and her husband adopted soon after meeting. “We lived in a studio in Pacific Heights and the cats had to sleep in the bathroom—naturally, a studio for two humans and two kittens was too small,” she says. The couple started looking for a house that would suit them. “We all know San Francisco real estate is just ridiculous right now,” Rose-Guizar says. Enter the city of San Rafael. “You can’t walk to run errands here; everything is done by car and cars are not my favorite thing. But I love to be surrounded by nature, and almost every day I get to see deer; this makes me feel so lucky.” Other welcome additions include riding to China Camp by bicycle, and the views. “From my living room, I have an amazing view of the bay, the Marin Islands and the Richmond Bridge.” Currently, in addition to her online store, Rose-Guizar’s accessories are sold in more than 15 stores across the U.S. and Mexico, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art gift shop and Mexico City’s Tamayo Museum, to name a few. She’s taken part in numerous trade shows in New York City and L.A., and has displayed

her creations at Tictail Market, the brick-and-mortar Manhattan store of the online platform Tictail. She’s highly devoted to her business—it’s a full-time commitment. How would she describe the designs, which turn the basic idea of a neck scarf into a humorous, stand-out affair? “In a few words, fiction, fantasy, memory and myth are what I would use to describe my scarves,” Rose-Guizar says. “These four concepts mix together to inspire each scarf design, all with a common thread: A chic sense of humor. Humor is a part of my daily life, and I would like it to be a part of the lives of many others.” The inspiration for the out-there illustrations, according to the artist, is very everyday. “I get inspired by my daily life as a city girl who loves animals, nature and life’s simple pleasures, as well as my fascination with foreign culture and traveling in general.” Japan, specifically, is a big influence. “Japan is just a beautiful, photogenic surreal place. The mix with the old and new amazes me, so much energy, the incredible food,” she says. Sometimes, however, the motivation is to fix a pop-culture injustice: See the playful donkey scarf as evidence. “I just thought that the donkeys are so underestimated and deserve the same focus as magical unicorns,” she says. But our nation’s obsession with all things unicorn isn’t the only bias on Rose-Guizar’s mind. The
elections, and their surprising result, shook her and led her to reconsider her position as a U.S resident. “These aren’t great times to be a Mexican in the U.S.,” she says, “when fear and ignorance are driving people to see other cultures through stereotypes and not give the chance to meeting individuals. It’s weird not to feel welcome in your own home. Regardless of the fact that I have great people around, from the U.S. as from other countries, times are tense.” And so escapism is echoed in her newest illustrations, featuring peaceful bunnies, pink flamingoes and always, Rose-Guizar’s greatest muse, cats. But despite the somewhat intensified attitude towards immigrants these days, much of it inspired by our current president, she still feels quite at home in San Rafael, or rather comfortable in her own skin. “I don’t think the move changed me much,” Rose-Guizar concludes. “I still travel to Japan and other places, I am still Mexican, still love nature and cute things, my friends are still my friends. And I think that is why the transition of Centinelle from Mexico to the U.S. has been well received—because the brand gets inspired by simple, daily things that could happen to any gal in the world. And besides, who doesn’t love cats?”Y Learn more at centinelle.com.

Green Gold Cooking spinach by the handful By Ari LeVaux
S
pinach, the meatiest of vegetables, is finally in season. The fleshy leaves of spring spinach are juicy with a potent green serum that’s high in iron and exceptionally rich in chlorophyll, which is a close chemical relative to hemoglobin, the red stuff in blood. This time of year, spinach is so abundant that one can cook with it by the handful. Spring spinach comes in waves, the first of which was planted last summer as a fall crop, and coaxed through the winter under a blanket of snow. In spring, the overwintered spinach rages to life, with juicy leaves that are as sweet as they are lusty. These leaves grew from roots
that were well-established last fall, as opposed to the second wave of spinach, planted months ago in greenhouses. It’s about the same size as the overwintered spinach, but lacks the experience and terroir of the elder plants, which have had more time to accumulate nutrients. Young spinach, including the so-called baby spinach that’s all the rage, is very convenient. It barely needs washing or any form of prep, and is as tender as veal. It may not have the sweetness of an overwintered spinach, but neither does it have the bitterness. In terms of nutrition, baby greens are “basically water,” explained a farmer friend of mine, who prefers to be nameless due to the fact that
his farm supplies about half of the salad mix in town. “They aren’t as good for you as a plant that’s lived through the winter.” He let me raid his field of overwintered spinach. The leaves were like plump, strong teenagers, in the prime of youth and vitality. Many of the stems were a vibrant shade of pinkish red, betraying their relatedness to chard, not to mention sugar beets. This is the stuff. Green gold. The final wave of springtime spinach hits right before the solstice, when the field spinach gets big and leafy. It won’t be as sweet as overwintered spinach, but it will be just as meaty. In August it will be time again to plant for fall and, hopefully, a spring crop. My friend’s

This time of year, spinach is in abundance.
spinach, which overwintered so beautifully, was the Tyee variety. Assuming you have the good stuff, then, what to do? If you can get the good stuff, the overwintered green crème, then I’d recommend a very simple pesto with nothing more than spinach, olive oil and salt. This is a spectacular way to enjoy the subtle complexity of an overwintered spinach, like a vegetal blood transfusion in your mouth. The leaves of springtime spinach clean easily. A blemish or two on a leaf can be tolerated in pesto, the sausage of plant foods. If your spinach is good but not quite top level, a more typical pesto with nuts, cheese, garlic and zest will be a very satisfying way to enjoy the season. I’ve also had great results by simply combining fresh spinach pesto au natural with year-old basil pesto from the freezer. The next recipe comes by way of friends in Bhutan, a little Buddhist country in the Himalayas where chile is king and cheese is queen, and all other foods are cooked in a combination thereof. Those big bags of dried Mexican chiles that can be purchased in many box stores have become a lifeline to the Bhutanese diaspora. And to a lesser extent so have the bags of pre-grated “Mexican cheese blend.” I went to my local store and got little ounce-sized bags of dried Anaheim, New Mexico and ancho chiles. The store also had organic Mexican cheese blend. The iron in spinach, while abundant, isn’t always accessible to the consumer. Cooking spinach with foods that are high in vitamin C helps make that iron more accessible. And chile pepper, it turns out, is high in vitamin C.Y

Docs Galore DocLands Documentary Film Festival debuts in Marin By Mal Karman
I
t’s not as though Marin County needed another film festival the way it needed rain before this winter, but when Mark Fishkin decided to turn the hose on documentaries, the inaugural DocLands came out like a gusher in less than eight months. The idea for a new fiveday (May 10-14) documentary film festival—featuring three sections that include The Art of Impact, The Great Outdoors and WonderLands— had been brewing in Fishkin’s brain “for a long, long time—more than 10 years,” says the founder and executive director of the Mill Valley
Film Festival and the California Film Institute. “We do so much else. I’m involved in art house convergence, in getting films to the big screen, in distribution, in outreach … but eventually, with an idea, either you do it or you stop thinking about it. We finally decided to do it.” “There are so many incredible feature docs getting out in the world lately,” says DocLands Director of Programming Joni Cooper. “An unprecedented number. We know we have a load of film lovers here in Marin, and one of our goals is to build a community
around documentaries all year with special events. I think we’re spurred on by what’s going on politically.” In that fiery category, the California premiere of Stranger In Paradise turns documentary filmmaking on its head by throwing in a thread of fiction in which Belgian actor Valentijn Dhaenens works as an immigration official interviewing real-life asylum seekers. Remember the subprime mortgage scandal in which big banks burned homeowners like marshmallows? None of those big banks paid for their mistakes, but one, a tiny Chinatown mom-andpop institution was targeted by New York’s district attorney and was the sole bank indicted during the scandal. Director Steve James, famous for Hoop Dreams, captures the ferocity with which the owners fought back in Abacus: Small Enough to Jail. Dorothea Lange’s emotionally gripping photographs of JapaneseAmericans forcibly interned during WWII were previously buried in the National Archives, but resurrected here in the world premiere of And Then They Came For Us. Actor George Takei, best known for his role in Star Trek and who was interned in the detention camps with his family as a small boy, is featured by local directors Abby Ginzberg and Ken Schneider. If the political stuff gets your blood boiling, DocLands also has ways to get it feverishly pumping with films like North of Known, Mira and Freedom Under Load. In the suspenseful adventure film North of Known, two paragliders are the first to attempt crossing the 500-mile Alaskan Ridge, quickly falling behind schedule and running out of food. Mira, part of a program called Big Waves, Big Mountains, Big Winds, follows a young woman from an impoverished childhood in Nepal to her rise as a long-distance mountain-running phenom in training for the 2016 Skyrunning World Championships, one of the world’s most physically and mentally demanding sports. Aging sherpas, who would be considered senior citizens here, trek up and down the High Tatras mountains carrying 250 pounds on their backs through blinding snow, fierce winds and precarious footing in Freedom Under Load to deliver goods to mountain huts. Why, when a helicopter could just do a
dump? Because, they say, it keeps them healthy, self-reliant, in touch with nature and, if you can believe it, grounded. A couple of the most unique features of the new festival are its intimate DocPitch and DocTalk programs. At DocPitch, five film projects that are currently in development will be pitched at this industry forum. The audience will vote for their favorite, and that project will receive a cash award from the Filmmaker Fund. At DocTalk, an informal discussion with filmmakers focuses on how to sustain a career in nonfiction film. Both programs are free, but tickets are required. DocLands also offers an opening night treat on Wednesday, May 10: Nari, featuring Ravi Shankar’s daughter Gingger, blends film, archival footage and animation into a short documentary, accompanied by a live, original musical score with vocals, Indian percussion and Shankar’s unique double violin, Carlo Ribaux’s drums and Vivek Maddala’s guitar and keyboards. The 7pm film and performance will be followed by a Q&A with the musicians and the DocLands opening night party at the Elks Lodge in San Rafael. With director Amir Bar-Lev’s Long Strange Trip, Deadheads can follow the Grateful Dead’s multidecade rise from ragtag hippies to megastars over four hours of neverbefore-seen concert footage and interviews with band members. “Even though we have so many more opportunities for content, streaming for example, we’re repeatedly subjected to sound bites and most everything seems to be on the surface,” Fishkin says of the importance of documentary filmmaking today. “At the same time we don’t really know what’s going on, whether it be Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Iran.” The hope is that documentarians and DocLands will fill that gap. “Starting anything from scratch is always big,” Fishkin says, “but we had the advantage of having done it before. We think it’ll be a good launch.”Y DocLands Documentary Film Festival, May 10-14; doclands.com.
THEATER
Timeless Tale ‘Battlefield’ the story of a newly crowned king By Charles Brousse
I
n this world of fractured cultures, British director Peter Brook comes about as close as anyone can to being the theatrical equivalent of a universally acknowledged rock star. The awards and honors seem endless. His name on a production like A.C.T.’s current Battlefield will bring on a flurry of media excitement and send ticket-buyers racing to their phones. The enthusiasm is fueled by the perception that Brook is sui generis—a giant among his traditionbound contemporaries and someone who doesn’t follow the rules and creates a unique experience with daring and risky experiments that are exhilarating even when they fail. On top of all of that, he’s a master showman, with a keen sense of what
will attract public attention. Throughout his career, Brook has been a rebel. His apprentice work in various theaters in London’s commercial West End (the British equivalent of New York’s Broadway) during the early 1940s turned him against what he called their “lethargy, lifelessness and traditionalness,” but he chose a different escape route from the drab social realism embraced by John Osborne’s postwar “Angry Young Men” movement. For him, theater should be a lively and entertaining spectacle—kind of a circus with words—even if the subject matter is occasionally dark. His immediate influences included Antonin Artaud’s “Theater of Cruelty,” Bertolt Brecht’s integration of music and dramatic dialogue
and Joan Littlewood’s and Jerzy Grotowski’s emphasis on action over speech. It was a winning formula, one which brought him to the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he turned out hit after hit during the ’60s and ’70s. That was when I began to be aware of his presence, specifically in productions like Peter Weiss’ gripping Marat/Sade, the magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream at A.C.T. and the memorable film version of William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies. Ironically, though, this was precisely the point when Brook decided to jettison the directing style focused on movement and imagery that had brought him international fame—he now called it “youthful excess”— and to adopt an aesthetic based on

‘Battlefield,’ written and directed by Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne, is based on what happened after the events described in ‘The Mahabharata.’
simplicity which he described in a 1968 how-to book entitled The Empty Space. No need for fancy trappings, he wrote. Theater can take place anytime, anywhere, large or small, as long as there is an actor or two and somebody watching. As it turned out, however, there was one last burst of the old showman spirit left. In the early 1980s, Brook directed a stage adaptation (by Jean-Claude Carrière) of the Hindu epic creation story poem The Mahabharata, performed in a quarry outside Avignon. He then took an English language version on a four-year world tour before bringing it to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for its American premiere in 1985. The piece was several times longer than Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey combined. It required a multinational cast of dozens of actors, numerous scene and costume changes and an eight-hour playing time that left some audience members with (as one sly critic put it) “bruised bums.” Well, now we have Battlefield and we know what simplicity meant. Written and directed by Brook and his longtime collaborator, Marie-Hélène Estienne, it’s a highly condensed, 70-minute, no set, four actors and a drummer one-act account of what the writers imagine happened after the events described in The Mahabharata. The war between the forces of good and the forces of evil is over and the former have won following a battle that killed millions on both sides. After hearing a graphic description of how the bodies are being devoured by scavengers and learning that their king was actually a close relative, the leader of the victorious army declares that he’d rather live a quiet life in the forest than ascend to the throne. Most of the remainder of the play is devoted to exploring this dilemma through a series of parables and historical references that I won’t attempt to recount for fear of getting it wrong. Lots of esoteric exchanges, but very little action— this from a former champion of physical theater! The actors are fine and the drummer (Toshi Tsuchitori, who has been with the production since its debut) is superb. Given that Brook is only 92 and has changed direction multiple times, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did it again. Can’t wait.Y

New Beginning Blues guitarist John Maxwell gets a fresh start By Lily O’Brien
I
n the early ’20s and ’30s, a lot of great blues came out of Chicago, launching careers for performers like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. So it’s no great surprise that blues guitarist and singer John Maxwell, who was born and raised there, is the real deal. On Friday, May 12, he takes the stage at Rancho Nicasio with his deep delta blues. Maxwell, master of acoustic fingerstyle, bottleneck slide guitar, lived in San Rafael and drove a Golden Gate Transit bus for 30 years. He retired last June, and a month later, moved to Port Townsend, Washington with his new sweetheart. “It was a rebirth of sorts,” Maxwell says, noting that he’s now able to concentrate on music full-time. Maxwell chose Port Townsend for two reasons: He wanted to spend time with his 92-year-old dad who lives there, and he was attracted to
the city’s vibrant music scene. “I’d been coming up here for years to the Port Townsend Music Festival, so when it came time for me to decide where to move, I couldn’t think of any place better than this,” Maxwell says. “It’s really beautiful, with a lot of music and creative people.” He adds that it is also a lot less crowded and expensive than the Bay Area. Maxwell didn’t take up the guitar until he was 15, after seeing a B.B. King concert. His older brother, he says, was already listening to Chicago blues, and it “filtered down” to him. Maxwell began studying slide guitar at a local folk music school, and eventually made the decision to study music formally. “I was going to college in St. Louis, and at the time, the music department was strictly classical,” he says. “I was attempting to learn theory and composition, but after »13 two years, I realized that I

Former San Rafael resident John Maxwell—blues guitarist, singer and songwriter—travels from his new home in the Pacific Northwest to perform at Rancho Nicasio on Friday, May 12.
couldn’t really apply that to what I wanted to do.” So Maxwell quit school and moved around—playing bluegrass and country music in Tulsa, forming a punk band in San Francisco called Eye Protection and playing R&B in Minneapolis. But a phone call from a friend, asking him to move back to San Francisco to put a new band together, lured him back. He also gradually returned to his original passion—old-time Chicago blues. “I think a lot of what I do is pretty traditional blues, but I come at it from a little bit of a different angle, because of all the things that I have done over the years” says Maxwell, who has opened shows locally for blues performers like Roy Rogers, Susan Tedeschi and Ruthie Foster. “For instance, if I take an old song from the ’30s, I’m not going to try to reproduce what they did. I’m going to take the idea and come up with my own arrangement, with a little bit more of a personal touch on it.” Maxwell’s signature style is evident on his 2014 recording, Blues for Angeline, a mix of originals and old blues tunes. These days, Maxwell is playing a 2015 steel body National Tricone guitar, a retirement present to himself, along with his old 1929 National Triolian guitar, which he calls his “pride and joy.” He also
plays blues mandolin. “A lot of people are really surprised to hear blues mandolin— it gets their attention,” Maxwell says. “But it has a long, long history back to the early part of the century with the early string bands.” Maxwell has 15 shows booked in the Pacific Northwest this month, “which is like 15 times more than I used to get in the Bay Area,” he says with a laugh. He’s also currently writing songs for a new CD, which will feature “older gems” from the ’20s and ’30s. Though in some ways Maxwell, who will turn 62 in September, wishes that he could have devoted more time to music a lot sooner in life, he says that it all worked out just fine. “I can’t say that I really regret the choices I made,” he says. “I would have had a very different life if I would have been able to pursue music full-time from day one. But I think maybe in a sense I can enjoy it even more now, having been through so many years of driving buses—it feels really special now.”Y John Maxwell, Friday, May 12, Rancho Nicasio, 1 Old Rancheria Road (on the Town Square), Nicasio; 8pm; free; 415/662-2219; ranchonicasio.com.
Aside from the visuals, director/writer Oren Moverman’s anti-comedy ‘The Dinner’ isn’t filling.
FILM
Indigestion ‘The Dinner’ doesn’t sit well By Richard von Busack
S
ome films you watch, thinking, “This is seriously never going to end.” The Dinner is more like, “this is seriously never going to begin.” The third film based on an international bestseller by the Dutch novelist Herman Koch, director/writer Oren Moverman’s scolding anti-comedy stars Steve Coogan (as Paul). He’s a bitter crank of a former high school history teacher. He loathes his brother Stan (Richard Gere), a congressman running for governor. The two and their spouses—Stan’s angry new wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall) and Paul’s patient wife Claire (Laura Linney)—are to meet at a hideously expensive restaurant that has a waitlist for months. It (eventually, very eventually) transpires that the fabulously pretentious meal is to talk over some bad trouble their sons got into together—a horrifying and unprovoked assault, now visible
to the world on social media. Paul is the kind of role that a Wallace Shawn or a Paul Giamatti could nail; Coogan’s accent is fine, but his angst doesn’t compel us— he’s a smaller-than-life kind of actor in a role that ought to have a little menace to it, a little unintentional humor to the whine. The tirade against the goddamn kids and their goddamn cellphones flatters an older audience. And the subject matter matches the rancid, acrimonious politics of today. The great Bobby Bukowski’s photography keeps the movie from total enervation: Linney glows in a crimson gown in front of the restaurant’s fireplace, and the exterior walls of the restaurant glow in orange-bronze floodlights. Aside from the occasional eye candy, this is the most thoroughgoing bummer since We Need to Talk About Kevin.Y

Q:
I’m a 40-year-old man who can’t seem to keep a relationship going for more than a year. There’s never bitter fighting or betrayal. I just gradually lose interest. I can’t blame my girlfriends—most of whom are pretty exciting people. I’m the problem, but why? And can I change?—Frustrated
A:
Ever gotten new carpeting? The first month, it’s, “No shoes and no drinks whatsoever in the living room!” A few months after that: “Oh, we don’t use glasses anymore. Just splash red wine around and drink right off the rug.” In the happiness research world, the psychological shift behind this is called “hedonic adaptation”—“hedonic” from the Greek word for pleasure and “adaptation” to describe how we acclimate to new stuff or situations in our lives. They rather quickly stop giving us the buzz they did at first, and we get pitched right back to our baseline feeling of well-being (Yeahwhatevsville). Bummer, huh? But there’s an upside. Psychologists Timothy Wilson and Dan Gilbert explain that hedonic adaptation is part of our “psychological immune system.” There’s another possible bummer at work here, per your longing for less wilty love. You may be more “sensation-seeking” than most people. Research by psychologist Marvin Zuckerman, who coined the term, finds that this is a personality trait with origins in genes, as well as experience, reflected in strong cravings for novel, varied and intense sensations and experiences. If this is driving you, basically, you want it new, you want it now, and all the better if it’s a little life-threatening. In other words, some benefits of a committed relationship, like deeply knowing another person, may end up being deeply boring to you. Research by psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky finds that three “intentional activities” help keep hedonic adaptation from overtaking a relationship— appreciating, injecting variety and incorporating surprise. Appreciating simply means regularly reviewing and “savoring” what’s great about your partner and what you have together. Bringing in variety and surprise means filling the relationship with “unexpected moments” and “unpredictable pleasures,” big and small. Be honest with women about your befizzlement problem. When you find one who’s up for the challenge, get cracking with her on keeping the excitement alive. Be sure to do this both in romantic day-to-day ways and, say, with the perfect romantic weekend for a guy like you—one that starts with the valet at the spa opening the trunk, removing the hood over your head and cutting the zip ties so you can go take a sauna.
Q:
Two years ago, I met this beautiful, intriguing girl. I gave her my number, but she never called. Last week, she texted out of the blue. Weird! My friend said she probably had a boyfriend until now. Do women really hoard men’s info in case their relationship tanks?—Wondering
A:
Consider the male BFF. A woman may not consciously think of hers as her backup man. But should her relationship go kaput, there he is— perfectly situated to dry her tears. Um, with his penis. There seems to be an evolutionary adaptation for people in relationships— especially women—to line up backup mates. It’s basically a form of doomsday prepping—except instead of a bunker with 700 cans of beans and three Hellfire missiles, there are two eligible men on the shelves of a woman’s mind and the phone number of another on a crumpled ATM receipt in her wallet. Evolutionary psychologists Joshua Duntley and David Buss explain that in ancestral times, even people “experiencing high relationship satisfaction would have benefited from cultivating potential replacement mates” in case their partner cheated, ditched them, died or dropped a few rungs in mate value. Duntley and Buss note that female psychology today still has women prepping for romantic disaster like they’re living in caves and lean-tos instead of condos and McMansions. For example, in research on opposite-sex friendships, “women, but not men, prioritize economic resources and physical prowess in their opposite-sex friends, a discrepancy that mirrors sex-differences in mate preferences.” Getting back to this woman who texted you, she probably saw something in you from the start but was otherwise encumbered. So, yes, she’s likely been carrying a torch for you, but for two years, it’s been in airplane mode.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

For the week of May 10
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The process by
which Zoo Jeans are manufactured is unusual. First, workers wrap and secure sheets of denim around car tires or big rubber balls, and take their raw creations to the Kamine Zoo in Hitachi City, Japan. There the denim-swaddled objects are thrown into pits where tigers or lions live. As the beasts roughhouse with their toys, they rip holes in the cloth. Later, the material is retrieved and used to sew the jeans. Might this story prove inspirational for you in the coming weeks? I suspect that it will. Here’s one possibility: You could arrange for something wild to play a role in shaping an influence you will have an intimate connection with.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Kiss the
flame and it is yours,” teased the poet Thomas Lux. What do you think he was hinting at? It’s a metaphorical statement, of course. You wouldn’t want to literally thrust your lips and tongue into a fire. But according to my reading of the astrological omens, you might benefit from exploring its meanings. Where to begin? May I suggest you visualize making out with the steady burn at the top of a candle? My sources tell me that doing so at this particular moment in your evolution will help kindle a new source of heat and light in your deep self—a fresh fount of glowing power that will burn sweet and strong like a miniature sun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your symbol of power during the next three weeks is a key. Visualize it. What picture pops into your imagination? Is it a bejeweled golden key like what might be used to access an old treasure chest? Is it a rustic key for a garden gate or an oversized key for an ornate door? Is it a more modern thing that locks and unlocks car doors with radio waves? Whatever you choose, Gemini, I suggest that you enshrine it as an inspirational image in the back of your mind. Just assume that it will subtly inspire and empower you to find the metaphorical “door” that leads to the next chapter of your life story. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are free to reveal yourself in your full glory. For once in your life, you have cosmic clearance to ask for everything you want without apology. This is the LATER you have been saving yourself for. Here comes the reward for the hard work you’ve been doing that no one has completely appreciated. If the universe has any prohibitions or inhibitions to impose, I don’t know what they are. If old karma has been preventing the influx of special dispensations and helpful X factors, I suspect that old karma has at least temporarily been neutralized. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. “I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” In my opinion, that may be one of the most radical vows ever formulated. Is it even possible for us human beings to gracefully manage our unruly flow of feelings? What you do in the coming weeks could provide evidence that the answer to that question might be yes. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are now in a position to learn more about this high art than ever before. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Africa’s highest
mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro. Though it’s near the equator, its peak is covered year-round with glaciers. In 2001, scientists predicted that global warming would melt them all by 2015. But that hasn’t happened. The ice cap is still receding slowly. It could endure for a while, even though it will eventually disappear. Let’s borrow this scenario as a metaphor for your use, Virgo. First, consider the possibility that a certain thaw in your personal sphere isn’t unfolding as quickly as you anticipated. Second, ruminate on the likelihood that it will, however, ultimately come to pass. Third, adjust your plans accordingly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Will sex be humdrum and predictable in the coming weeks? No! On the contrary. Your interest in wandering out to the frontiers of erotic play could rise quite high. You may be animated and experimental in
By Rob Brezsny
your approach to intimate communion, whether it’s with another person or with yourself. Need any suggestions? Check out the “butterflies-in-flight” position or the “spinning wheel of roses” maneuver. Try the “hum-and-chuckle kissing dare” or the “churning radiance while riding the rain cloud” move. Or just invent your own variations and give them funny names that add to the adventure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Right now
the word “simplicity” is irrelevant. You’ve got silky profundities to play with, slippery complications to relish and lyrical labyrinths to wander around in. I hope you use these opportunities to tap into more of your subterranean powers. From what I can discern, your deep dark intelligence is ready to provide you with a host of fresh clues about who you really are and where you need to go. P.S. You can become better friends with the shadows without compromising your relationship to the light.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can bake your shoes in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, but that won’t turn them into loaves of bread. Know what I’m saying, Sagittarius? Just because a chicken has wings doesn’t mean it can fly over the rainbow. Catch my drift? You’ll never create a silk purse out of dental floss and dead leaves. That’s why I offer you the following advice: In the next two weeks, do your best to avoid paper tigers, red herrings, fool’s gold, fake news, Trojan horses, straw men, pink elephants, convincing pretenders and invisible bridges. There’ll be a reward if you do: Close encounters with shockingly beautiful honesty and authenticity that will be among your most useful blessings of 2017. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Of all of
the signs of the zodiac, you Capricorns are the least likely to believe in mythical utopias like Camelot or El Dorado or Shambhala. You tend to be uberskeptical about the existence of legendary vanished riches like the last Russian czar’s Fabergé eggs or King John’s crown jewels. And yet if wonderlands and treasures like those really do exist, I’m betting that some may soon be discovered by Capricorn explorers. Are there unaccounted-for masterpieces by Georgia O’Keeffe buried in a basement somewhere? Is the score of a lost Mozart symphony tucked away in a seedy antique store? I predict that your tribe will specialize in unearthing forgotten valuables, homing in on secret miracles and locating missing mother lodes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my lyrical analysis of the astrological omens, here are examples of the kinds of experiences you might encounter in the next 21 days: 1. Interludes that reawaken memories of the first time you fell in love. 2. People who act like helpful, moon-drunk angels just in the nick of time. 3. Healing music or provocative art that stirs a secret part of you—a sweet spot that you had barely been aware of. 4. An urge arising in your curious heart to speak the words, “I invite lost and exiled beauty back into my life.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ex-baseball
player Eric DuBose was pulled over by Florida cops who spotted him driving his car erratically. They required him to submit to a few tests, hoping to determine whether he had consumed too much alcohol. “Can you recite the alphabet?” they asked. “I’m from the great state of Alabama,” DuBose replied, “and they have a different alphabet there.” I suggest, Pisces, that you try similar gambits whenever you find yourself in odd interludes or tricky transitions during the coming days—which I suspect will happen more than usual. Answer the questions you want to answer rather than the ones you’re asked, for example. Make jokes that change the subject. Use the powers of distraction and postponement. You’ll need extra slack, so seize it!Y
