Debussy’s Piano Preludes are miniature masterpieces of tone painting. In an unusual juxtaposition you’ll hear them twice: first in the original piano version and then in ingenious orchestrations by Colin Matthews. Our season finale, the glorious masterpiece, La Mer, evokes the winds, the waves, the sounds and ambience of the sea, with Debussy’s sensuous tonal colors and gorgeous impressionistic harmonies.

››LETTERS This’ll get him out of a pickle! This is to Carlo in Fairfax [“We’re Drawing a Blanc on This One,”April 19] who asked: Why do stores carry only 4 ounce bottles of red wine vinegar? Try Mill Valley Market for Bruno’s Italian Red Wine Vinegar, 16.9 ounces, made in San Rafael. Fresh, natural, local and sustainable! Dianne Bramwell, Bolinas
a somewhat more just distribution of Marin’s riches. Much of the opposition is based on classism, racism and xenophobia and should be denounced. But there are also a small number of well-intentioned preservationists at the Social Justice Center of Marin who raise some reasonable criticisms: developers will reap great profits; only a percentage of new units will be truly affordable; environmental concerns may be compromised—all of which is true. Still, the economic tyranny of capitalism permits limited and poor choices, and commercial construction of affordable housing under current plans is significantly better than nothing. Roger Stoll, San Rafael
She’s the Abraham Zapruder of letters to the editor... The upside in reading Marcia Blackman’s letters [“Sorry, John, But You Asked For It...”April 19] are that they are like watching a car crash happen in slow motion, over and over. While watching those can be fascinating, it is, indeed, the same car crash.
Jonathan Frieman, San Rafael
Sixteen and nine-tenths ounces−for those occasions when a pound of red wine vinegar simply isn’t going to cut it.
Tyranny of capitalism: can’t live with it, can’t live without it... Thank you for Jacob Shafer’s excellent piece on affordable housing [“Nobody’s home,” April 12]. For the thousands who commute to Marin to work in our grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and schools, the affordable housing plans offer
We don’t need no stinkin’ badges, either... “The older brother had strong political views about the United States,”said Albrecht Ammon, 18, a downstairs-apartment neighbor in Cambridge. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as “an excuse for invading other countries.” This claim by the elder of the two alleged Marathon protagonists in Boston is blatantly untrue. We have never used the Bible or any other reference material as an excuse
to invade. We invade whenever we damn well feel like it. And if we don’t think the public will accept our weak reasoning for an invasion, we will make it up. It is, ladies and gentlemen, good for business and the American Way.

This is what’s known as ‘grognosticating’ After reading Nikki Silverstein’s Single in the Suburbs column [“Assembly Required,” April 4] about the life coach who made strange and unwelcome advances to Nikki’s friend, I can predict that coach has a problem with booze.

Let’s put a twist-tie on plastic bags—permanently! Our oceans are drowning in plastic trash. The United Nations Environmental Programme reports that each square mile of ocean contains over 46,000 pieces of plastic litter, varying in size from tiny flakes to bags to commercial fishing nets. All of this garbage is a huge threat to marine life, and plastic bags are among the worst killers. That’s why California should ban single-use plastic bags [“Plastic Bag Ban Inflating in Sacto,”April 19]. Take the endangered leatherback sea turtle. These turtles consume hundreds of jellyfish each day and can easily mistake plastic bags for their favorite food. One in three adult leatherback turtles have ingested plastic, most often plastic bags, according to a 2009 analysis of over 400 autopsies. Researchers in Queensland, Australia have found that bags and other soft plastics caused nearly a third of all sea turtle deaths in the region studied. Leatherback populations have declined by 95 percent in the last two decades. Other species would benefit too. Seabirds frequently ingest floating plastic, mistaking it for food. Other birds are trapped or entangled in bags and often drown or suffocate. Adults can scoop up plastic pieces, including bag scraps, and feed them to their chicks. When plastic lodges in the chick’s stomach, it blocks food and can starve the chick. It’s time for California to do the right thing. Plastic bags are wasteful, unnecessary, and lethal to vulnerable animals. Each bag that reaches the sea is one bag too many. Let’s take a stand for the ocean and ban single-use plastic bags.
Nathan Weaver, San Francisco
Not psyched about ‘Psycho’ cover Regarding your cover choice for the Pacific Sun’s recent Best of Marin issue [“Alfred Hitchcock Presents... the Best of Marin,”March 29], I question your choice. As a matter of fact, it kind of makes me want to scream. Our culture has become so inured to violent imagery that my local weekly thinks nothing of placing the photo of a horrified young woman who, in the film Psycho, is naked, in a shower, about to
be viciously slashed to death, on its cover. Yeah, I know, iconic image, Alfred Hitchcock, blah blah blah... However it will never be a cute or harmless or humorous image. It will always be a representation of sexualized violence, the brutal slaying of a woman. Not funny. Horrible choice for a cover.
Barbara Altman, Sausalito Editor’s note: Hi Barbara, thanks for responding to our request for feedback on the Psycho cover (in the Best of Marin issue we mentioned our runner-up choice for a cover image—the famous shot of Cary Grant fleeing from crop duster in North by Northwest—and asked readers which image they’d have voted for). Since you took the time to write, let me offer a bit more insight into our “choice.”For the record, we did consider the fact that the Janet Leigh image is in fact a fictionalized depiction of, as you put it, “the brutal slaying of a woman.”On the other hand, the Cary Grant image that we’d been considering was a fictionalized depiction of the attempted brutal slaying of a man. (Hitchcock films are a minefield, indeed.) We went with the Psycho cover for two reasons. The first was that it’s such a well-known image that most people associate it with a classic movie—a much-loved one at that—and not any sort of condoning of violence. (The “violence”of course is off camera; we purposefully shaped the headline to make it seem that Janet Leigh is shouting “Best of Marin!”) Second, all of the female staff members in our editorial and art departments preferred the Psycho shot—and trust us, when they think something in the paper is inappropriate, they’re not shy in letting it be known. Anyway, Barbara, we do understand your concerns and would be curious to know if any other readers shared your reaction. —Jason Walsh
Woman in danger or man in danger−the choices in iconic Hitchcock imagery are on the narrow side...

Bay Area Plan unfolding Will 7,500 new homes in 30 years turn Marin into another Oakland? by Pe te r S e id m an
I
t goes by several names, each of them triggering controversy and resentment among opponents and optimism among supporters. It’s Plan Bay Area or Bay Area Plan or One Bay Area. While the plan to link housing to jobs and transportation has different monikers, the intent of the plan is clear. Supporters say something must be done to control sprawl, provide housing equity for a diverse population and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Opponents say the plan could describe the demise of the small-town character so prized in Marin. They also say the plan would trigger loss of local planning control. Supporters, as could be expected, disagree. The environmental report is the latest stop in the plan’s progress, which has been marked by controversy and, at times, downright bizarre opposition. While a contingent of opponents opposes the plan based on farfetched conspiracy theories involving the United Nations usurping planning sovereignty, other opponents have a more down-to-earth perspective and debate facts and figures. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in a partnership with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, following a state mandate, collaborated to produce the comprehensive plan that inte-
grates land use with transportation. Similar collaborations among regional planning agencies are taking place across the state. According to the draft environmental report, the adopted goals of the plan focus on climate protection, adequate housing, healthy and safe communities, open space and agricultural preservation, equitable access to housing, economic vitality and an effective transportation system. Tall orders to fill, especially when they include competing targets. In an effort to draw distinctions and compromises, the draft environmental report posits five alternatives, each with its own emphasis: •No Project. •The Project Proposed in the Plan. “This alternative assumes a land use development pattern that concentrates future household and job growth into Priority Development Areas identified by local jurisdictions.” •Transit Priority Focus. This alternative emphasizes “higher densities than existing conditions to support high quality transit.” In Marin that could translate to increased densities along the SMART train route. •Enhanced Network of Communities. “This alternative seeks to provide sufficient housing for all people employed in the Bay Area with no in-commuters from other regions and allows for more dispersed growth patterns than the proposed plan, although development is still generally focused around [priority development areas]. 10 >

Downtown Novato’s street lights will soon be 50-percent renewably energized.
Novato goes ‘light green’ with MCE The
City of Novato is officially plugging into Marin Clean Energy, as the City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to purchase its power through the county electricity aggregator—a move officials expect will save the town about $9,000 a year. Novato is going with MCE’s ‘light green’ option, which means 50 percent of its power will come from renewable sources. The town’s a late arrival to the clean energy party, voting as recently as last June to stick with PG&E despite the utility’s much smaller renewable portfolio and the fact that, at the time, it had applied for multiple rate hikes with the California Public Utilities Commission. PG&E subsequently raised rates in July; another rate hike took place in January of this year and a third increase is expected to go into effect next month. According to Novato officials, PG&E rate increases resulted in more than a 10 percent cost increase to the city. Novato now joins nine other Marin municipalities, plus the County, in purchasing its power through Marin Clean Energy. Sausalito is the only town still keeping the lights on with PG&E. —Jason Walsh Kent Island is essentially a sand-dune tidal marsh in the middle of Bolinas Lagoon.
Kent Island restoration under way Who
ever heard of rescuing an island? Well, that’s exactly what’s in the works, as Marin County Parks sets sail this week on a mission to restore 23-acre Kent Island. What and where is Kent Island? It’s a tidal marsh in Bolinas Lagoon—more of a sand dune, really—that supports beach, salt marsh and other dune habitat. According to county parks officials, the native vegetation on Kent Island has been largely displaced by invasive plants—European beachgrass, iceplant and Monterey pine and cypress trees are among the culprits—which has altered the natural makeup of the island, anchoring it in place and shifting the natural hydrology and

VDaggers and drugs and bad drivers, oh my! No, we’re not on the yellow brick road. We’re in tony Tiburon, where observant police officer Justin Kurland is having a busy week. On Sunday, he pulled over a car for a problem with its registration sticker. The driver had an outstanding arrest warrant, the vehicle was searched, and the officer found a dagger and a substance suspected to be meth. Two days later, déjà vu. Kurland stopped another vehicle for a problem with its registration sticker. An outstanding warrant for the driver triggered a car search, which uncovered two daggers and a suspected supply of oxycodone, sans prescription. Hey, dagger-carrying, dope-toting outlaws, steer clear of Officer Kurland, or your stay in Tiburon may be cut short.

< 8 Bay Area Plan unfolding
•Environment, Equity and Jobs. “This alternative seeks to maximize affordable housing in opportunity areas in both urban and suburban areas through incentives and housing subsidies.” The entire plan is based on population, housing and job projections stretching out to 2040. The goal of the plan has remained focused on accommodating that growth by giving each Bay Area county the responsibility to fulfill its fair share of growth. In virtually every meeting concerning the plan, a contingent of Marin residents has pushed back against the projections for the county. After the first round of numbers went public, the pushback led to a rejiggering of the projections, but opponents remain adamant that the numbers still are too high. The plan projects that 33,000 new residents will call Marin home by 2040, necessitating the creation of 7,510 new housing units. That would mean Marin cities and the county would have to increase by 7 percent the number of new housing units. The plan calls for adding 2,292 housing units by 2022. Much of the population increase in Marin, the report posits, will come from a 17 percent increase in job growth in the county. Opponents say that projection is inflated and unrealistic. ABAG, through a public review process, allocates housing numbers for the counties and cities in the Bay Area. Those numbers go to the California Department of Finance for approval. The Department of Finance collected its own numbers and produced housing projections much lower than those that ABAG used to develop its housing-need numbers. The Department of Finance projected that Marin will add 6,818 new residents by 2040, a big difference from the 33,000 new residents Plan Bay Area projects. Opponents are citing that difference as proof that something is wrong with the projections in the plan. Three Marin representatives, each an elected official, will vote on the environmental report for the plan and on the plan itself: Supervisor Katie Rice is the Marin representative at ABAG; Novato Mayor Pat Eklund represents cities in Marin at ABAG; Supervisor Steve Kinsey is the Marin representative at MTC. “The Department of Finance did a moment-in-time analysis and ABAG has done a modeling that anticipates that over time trend lines can be extrapolated,” says Kinsey. In addition, he says, the Department of Finance conducted its research during the worst recession since the Great Depression. Kinsey adds that ABAG and the Department of Finance have agreed to coordinate their research before releasing a revised next round of numbers. In a meeting a few weeks ago, representatives from the two agencies “acknowledged it would be useful for the public and for themselves to get together and look at the 10 PACIFIC SUN APRIL 26 - MAY 2, 2013
numbers before they release them.” A recurring charge from opponents centers on the “one size fits all” rhetorical explosive lobbed to invalidate the findings and conclusions in the plan and the environmental report. Kinsey dismisses that charge with a statistic: “Seven tenths of one percent of the future growth [in the Bay Area] is being assigned to Marin.” The plan recognizes that Marin serves as a major recreational outlet for the entire Bay Area. That fact, along with the county’s abundant agriculture, helps keeps the housing-need numbers reduced. And local planning agencies and city councils in Marin will have the final say in what actually gets built. Opponents of the plan say there could be a better way to provide housing for new residents. Bob Silvestri, chairman of the Environmental Media Fund, says the plan fails to adequately take account of the positive effects that many forms of housing would have in meeting the needs of future—and current—residents. He says, for instance, “There are types of housing that we really need in Marin, and they are quite varied. They’re not the same as what you need in Oakland or San Jose. Everybody needs different things.” Silvestri holds that the plan’s emphasis on increased-density housing is a mistake. He says a plan calling for communities to meet their responsibility to provide affordable housing should include existing low-income units, housing for seniors, assisted living, second units, apartment building preservation and rehabilitation, conversion of commercial properties to mixed-use residential and several other permutations that could provide affordable units. The problem, says Silvestri, is that the plan fails to take those options seriously. He has written a book: The Best Laid Plans: Our Planning and Affordable Housing Challenges in Marin. In it he challenges conventional thinking about housing, transportation and greenhousegas emissions. Not everybody agrees with his line of thinking, especially those who support Plan Bay Area. Silvestri also says that if reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is the goal, higherdensity housing isn’t the answer. He points to an Australian study that determines single-family townhouses emit the lowest amount of greenhouse-gases. The next lowest emissions come from single-family homes. The highest emissions come from higher density multi-family buildings. If the goal is to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, say opponents, the plan isn’t the way to do it. They contend that following the plan actually would increase gas emissions. Kinsey says people evaluating the plan need to look closely at its conclusions against the light of a no-project alternative. “Does [following Plan Bay Area] reduce vehicle miles traveled? No. Will there be greater release of gases? Yes. But compared with what would happen if there weren’t all of these efforts in the plan, the trajectory [following Plan Bay Area] is significantly” better with less impact.
Silvestri also says that using housing vouchers should be included in the housing need assessment. The federal Section 8 program allows low- income residents to live in a variety of housing options. Kinsey says Marin already has been stumping for housing such as second units to be included in a Marin housing-need assessment. “Our board has been pointing that out for a couple of years. We agree that second units are valuable.” Kinsey pushed a second-unit amnesty program that he says underscored a commitment to that form of housing. “Section 8 vouchers?
Yes we would love more [federal] Section 8 vouchers. We’ve got 6,000 people on our waiting list at a time when HUD is reducing Section 8 vouchers.” Kinsey says many of the ideas coming from opponents just aren’t “based in 21st century financial reality.” But, he adds, “there are areas where we can build consensus to do as much as we can in existing buildings and existing neighborhoods, second units, adding housing to shopping center parking lots.” Marge Macris is a former Marin County planning director and current co-chair of

And that’s not the only cause for alarm, say parks officials—the native plants on the island are now a global rarity due to human development and the growth of nonnative plants along the Pacific Coast. Kent Island and Pickleweed Island in Morro Bay are now the only two such islands left in California. The project is funded through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Estuary Habitat Restoration Programs, and its team of ‘habitat advocates’ hopes to bring the island back to its old self through saltwater irrigation and volunteers removing unwanted weeds. Bolinas Lagoon itself is part of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, and protected under GFNMS regulations from harmful uses. The county is calling for volunteers for the project (folks are needed every first Friday and third Saturday of the month through September).

A marquee evening for ‘Talking Pictures’ David Templeton continued his twodecade-long movie conversation with Marin last week, as the Rafael Film Center played host to the 20th anniversary of the Pacific Sun writer’s ‘Talking Pictures’ column. Templeton’s biweekly column—in which he takes interesting people to movies and writes about their post-film conversation—launched in 1993 with a trip to see Matinee with Unknown Museum curator Mickey McGowan. On April 18 the Rafael Film Center screened the Joe Dante movie—a nostalgia-driven comedy about a schlocky horror movie opening during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis—and featured Templeton in full post-film-conversation mode with such guests as comic book artist Brent Anderson, comedians Geoff Bolt and Arthur Gaus and Matinee screenwriter Charlie Haas. Though it’s typically Templeton asking the questions to his moviegoer companions, the guests turned the interviewing tables back on Templeton for much of the discussion quizzing him on celebrity film companions—Tommy Smothers, Elliot Gould, Heidi Fleiss, Joan Baez, Mort Sahl—as well as his most disappointing interview (singing cowboy Roy Rogers after seeing Unforgiven) and his dream ‘movie date’ (Bruce Springsteen). —JW Teen spoken-word event in Novato The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art and the Novato Library hosts an evening of spoken word and music from Marin teens.

the Marin Environmental Housing collaborative. She says the plan isn’t an alien document handed down from on high that has no basis in reality in Marin. She says, it’s not unlike the countywide plan Marin adopted in 2007. The population projections in the plan are higher than those in the countywide plan, “but the projections for new jobs actually is lower” in Plan Bay Area than in the countywide plan. “That underscores how the existing plans of the cities and the county have too much commercial development. “Even the ABAG plan that people are complaining about is lower than what we’ve got.” Macris says the ABAG environmental report fails to adequately assess the specific consequences of climate change and sea level rise. Many of the priority development areas around the bay are susceptible to sea level rise, a certainty according to the latest science. Lacking a focused and specific plan of action, Bay Area planners may have to downgrade the number of jobs and housing bay-front properties can accommodate. At the very least, development along the bay-front will be more expensive than previously contemplated. Susan Kirsch, cofounder of Citizen Marin, chides the three elected leaders who will vote on the plan for failing to lead. She says they have abrogated their responsibility to take the plan to the public for vigorous presentation and debate. It’s a failed democratic process, she says.
But Kinsey and Rice both point to the numerous public meetings focused on the plan. Another meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 29, from 6 to 9pm at the Marin Center in San Rafael. Then, on Thursday, May 9, Rice will moderate a meeting from 7 to 9pm at Dominican University’s Angelica Hall. That’s an informational meeting. Supervisor Susan Adams, Marin’s former representative to ABAG, is working to set up a debate-style meeting. Still in the planning stages, Adams says the debate will be held under the auspices of the Dominican Leadership Institute in the board of supervisors’ chambers, with Kinsey as moderator. Adams also has been holding small “house meetings” with “anybody who wants to have one.” About 10 to 20 people gather for a few hours to learn about and discuss the plan. “We have had wonderful conversations,” she says, “providing information and a historical perspective. We’re trying to reduce the temperature of the discussion so we can get back to a good civic engagement without personal attacks and inflammatory comments.” The public comment period for the draft environmental report and the draft plan ends May 16, much too soon for a 1,300-page document say opponents. The environmental report and the plan itself are scheduled to be voted on for adoption this summer.< Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com

Ann
of a Thousand Plays
Ninety years in the making—Ann Brebner writes and directs her first original story
O O O O O
AT ALMOST 90 years old (Brebner’s birthday is in August), the San Rafaelbased writer-director-and-professional inspiration is currently riding a wave of creative energy and artistic output that would be the envy of much younger artists.

t was a dream. The first line of Ann Brebner’s new play, The Dead Girl, came to her approximately 18 months ago. In the dream, Brebner saw a stage, onto which a young woman stepped silently, studying the audience. She was dressed, recalls Brebner (who dreams in color) very specifically—“A leftover hippie kind of thing,” as Brebner describes it—a dress of flowers and beads. The girl, it should be pointed out, was also dead. Somehow, Brebner knew that. “In the dream, the dead girl doesn’t speak, at first, she just looks at the audience, as if trying to see if there is anyone there she knows,” Brebner says, her fingers drumming her teacup, as she talks in her elegant, book-filled San Rafael home. “The girl sits. She studies her fingernails. And then, finally, she says her first line.” And it’s a whopper, easily one of the best opening lines to a play Brebner has ever heard. Of course, a line that good should not be revealed in advance, and Brebner asks for complicity in keeping it secret until The Dead Girl, which she is also directing, opens this weekend as part of the spring season of San Rafael’s awardwinning AlterTheater Ensemble. “It was so compelling, that dream,” Brebner recalls, “I woke up, got out of bed, went to the computer, and started writing immediately. Of course, I’ve been inspired in the middle of the night before, and not been able to wait to start working—but this was such a good idea, and it was so clear in my mind, I wanted to start work on it as soon as possible. “I wanted to know more about this girl,” she adds. “I knew she was dead, but not much more than that. I needed to find out, who is this person? What was she like when she was alive? “And to find the answers,” Brebner says and then laughs, “I had to write the play.”

about hearing voices. In The Dead Girl, the mother’s voice was fairly easy to get,” she explains. “I somehow knew how she would speak. And then, out of nowhere, the father’s voice came to me, came out rather strongly. It was really as if I was sitting alone, and all these people were talking from behind doors. The last voice I heard was that of the guy the dead girl was in love with.” Brebner developed the play through AlterTheater’s acclaimed AlterLab program, which offered motivation, encouragement and a deadline, and finished the play in December. This weekend, it opens a monthlong run inside Avant Garde, an eclectic clothing and jewelry store in downtown San Rafael. One of the elements that makes AlterTheater remarkable is that the professional company, predating the current pop-up trend of temporary restaurants, stores and performance sites, stages all of their shows
in store-front spaces somewhere along Fourth Street. “There is a social conscience within AlterTheater, which I love,” she says, “a drive to try and tackle social issues, to create talking points for the audience, inspiring conversation that is productive.” AlterTheater has proved a good home for Brebner, who has finally come full circle back to her early love—crafting original theater.
Brebner grimaces—now blessed with the much catchier name of Urban Stages. Here, directing slowed a bit when she had children, two sons, but following a theme she established earlier in her life, she didn’t have to wait long for an artistic outlet to present itself. “Things just happen in my life,” Brebner marvels. “They drift past me, and sometimes I quite consciously let them go, and other times I reach out and grab them. That’s how I got to the Old Vic. I had a O O O O O tiny little opportunity—and I grabbed hold and hung on.” “WHAT TOOK ME so long to write an In 1961, in part as a way for Ann to original story?” Brebner muses, in answer direct locally, the Brebners founded the to a question about why she waited 90 years Marin Shakespeare Company, originally to tackle a project based on a tale from her making its home at the Marin Art and own imagination. “That’s a very good quesGarden Center in Ross. tion,” she laughs. “I suppose it was life.

“If they didn’t have someone to serve as casting director, they’d have gone somewhere else,” she says, “so I said, ‘OK. I can do that.’ And they said, ‘We’ll send you a list of what we need—and you’d better get yourself an office.’” Fifteen years later, the Brebner Agency had a staff of 15, and had not only provided actors for hundreds and hundreds of major movies, had also kick-started the careers of countless local actors. Among her favorite ‘discoveries,’ and of whom she is still conspicuously proud, are Danny Glover and Kathleen Quinlan. “I love Danny,” she says. “He’s a wonderful actor, and a wonderful man. I’ve been privileged to work with so many wonderful artists.” She cast George Lucas’ first movies, both filmed locally. “George sent me a thank you note once,” she recalls, “saying, ‘You took this fledgling innocent filmmaker under your wing.’ That was referring to the work I did on THX. But I never thought of it that way. I love working with artists, helping to bring their vision to life. “I know that some people say I helped start their careers, but they’ve gotten it wrong,” she continues. “They showed me something that made me want to work with them. All of the wonderful artists I’ve worked with, they gave me my career, and it was a wonderful career. It helped me raise my children, and it put them
through college, and I had many wonderful experiences.” Brebner has often been asked why she hasn’t written a book about her days in the movie business, having collected several books worth of juicy behind-the-scenes stories. “My relationship with those people I’ve worked with is private,” she says. “Whatever an actor might have said to me, or whatever I might know about him or her, it stays in here.” Tapping her head, she adds, “Those memories belong to me and to the people I shared them with, no one else. I’m comfortable with that.” This afternoon, reminiscing about a very full life—and her new play inspired by a dream—Brebner ponders the question of whether she has had the life she dreamed of. “Well, no,” she shakes her head. “At one point I dreamed I’d have the life of a concert pianist—and I’m very glad that dream didn’t come true. It would have been a very lonely life. And I’m still very much alive. I’m still here. I’m still dreaming. I have more to do. I will go on working until I can’t work any longer. “Has my life been what I dreamed? No, my life has been very different what I once imagined. “The truth is,” she says, “It’s been better.”< Share a first line with David at talkpix@earthlink.net.

hen the heat of the summer rains down on Marin, it’s hard to avoid the pool. But that doesn’t mean some ladies won’t try. It could be 100 degrees in the shade and there will be those who refuse to hang out poolside for fear of letting it all hang out in public. To them I say stop drowning in a sea of self-doubt and go shopping for a new swimsuit. These days there is no excuse for feeling less than confident at the pool (unless of course if you can’t swim) as modern-day swimwear is smart. It understands how to diminish, disguise, lift, accentuate or augment anybody’s body. However, with all these figure-fixing abilities, things can get complicated, so it’s important to understand to what degree of corrective help you’re expecting from a new suit before you shop.
sion technology. Here are two examples of how this minimal degree of aid works by body shape: For a pear shaped body... Choose suiting separates like a patterned halter tankini top and bright-colored bottom to counter balance a heavy bottom. For an inverted pear shaped body... Choose a dark-colored halter tankini top and a patterned bottom to visually re-distribute your top-heavy body. Freedom from the predefined swimsuit set aids you in choosing whichever “ini’ combination best flatter your shape and size. Moderate Degree of Aid If simple visual trickery isn’t going to do it for you, you may be in the market for suit with fig figure-fixing enchantments and specializ cialize styling. Stores exclusively devoted to sswimwear like Beach Bella (San An Anselmo) offer a variety of enhanced su suits with the most popular of these b being padded, gelled or shaped-bust bikinis. Styling details such as midsection ruching (diminishes a full belly), ruffles (adds volume to bust or rump) and high-cut leg openings (lengthens legs) as well as vertical color blocking and piping (narrows a thick waist) are also on the must-have list for creating a new and improved look.
Minimal Degree of Aid If you don’t need much of a push to play poolside you may bee in the market for a two-piece combination that uses a bit of visual trickery. Many swim lines, like that of Athleta (Mill Valley), offer garden variety mix and match of patterns and solids colors, sizes, styles and cuts allowing the shopper to customize to achieve her most flattering look. This kind of “ini” (as in bikini, tankini, bandini, etc.) customization provides a low-tech way to visually redistribute weight Patterned and dark tankinis can or body mass without suit visually redistribute a wealth of enhancements or compresyour proportions.

of support available in swimwear called compression. Compression swimwear, like that found at the Lands’ End store in Sears (San Rafael), is essentially shapewear for the pool. Whether a woman is looking for a suit to smooth her waistline, perk-up her rump, minimize her chest or all of the above—compression swimwear has special technology built in to each suit to re-sculpt the body thereby creating more youthful and slimmer appearance. However, even with all the poolside promises of compression swimwear, these suits can still produce less-than-complimentary effects. The Sausage Effect Some women think it’s a good idea to size down in swimwear to induce a higher compression factor but this is not advisable. A smallersized compression suit doesn’t necessarily create a thinnerlooking body. Nonsuited body
parts will bulge under the intense pressure and the suit will render a terribly uncomfortable fit.
The Geriatric Effect Compression technology can make your body look like it belongs on Miami Beach but its styling can sometimes place you at a retirement community pool in Boca Raton. To make sure your new suit isn’t having a senior moment avoid styling and details that age—such as large tropical patterns, bust cones, full-coverage bottoms and low-cut leg openings. Modern day swimwear not only has the ability to, say, boost your bust line—it can also boost your Local stores to confidence. This summer let shop for swim your new suit do both. When Beach Bella (San Anselmo) you suit-up right, I guarantee, Malia Mills (Larkspur) that beach body you always Land’s End at Sears (San Rafael) wanted will be in reach. < Athleta (Mill Valley)

Ginger—unsnapped!
The origins of ginger as a spice predate historical records; its mentioned as early as the 4th century BC in the Hindu epic ‘Mahabharata.’
Getting to the root of one of the world’s tastiest herbs... by B r o o ke J a c k s o n
T
he sweet embrace of ginger wrapped its aroma around my olfactory sense as I stepped into the kitchen. A large slow-cooker hissed out the steamy fragrance of the herb as it bathed a mess of beef short ribs; ahhh, dinner would soon be ready. With a full quarter-cup of grated ginger in the recipe as well as sriracha and molasses, the finished product was sure to please with rich meat in a zingy sauce. This incredibly versatile rhizome is easy to incorporate into all kinds of dishes. Fresh ginger is an important ingredient in many of the cuisines of the world. Indian and Thai curries would be lacking without it, Chinese wok stir fries would miss their main companion to garlic and the sushi plate would be deficient if no slices of pickled ginger were present. A native plant from Southeast Asia, the rhizome was brought to the West Indies, Mexico and South America in the 16th century by Spanish explorers. This explains the propensity for ginger in Caribbean cooking, where it is used in specially brewed ginger beer, baked goods and stews. Here in the U.S., the fresh grated root has found its way into ginger snaps and gingerbread to amp up a hot and spicy flavor, drinks of all types—both alcoholic and not, candy and many other preparations. My British husband remembers drinking an alcoholic ginger beer in England as a young lad. He attempted to make a home brew using pounds of fresh grated ginger and sealed it into traditional beer bottles. We waited expectantly while the stuff fermented, dreaming of a spicy, warming ale with a gingery backbite. Finally the fateful day came when the beer was ready. He took a bottle and uncapped it and a HUGE fountain of noxious smelling liquid came shooting out like the Old Faithful geyser, quickly soaking him and everything nearby. The odor was like walking through
a New York subway station on a steamy summer day. Needless to say, the stuff was undrinkable—however, he still dreams of finding that ginger brew in a pub menu. Some of my favorite ginger products are Ginger Chews from the Ginger People, Big Island Hawaiian Organic Gingerade and Yogi Ginger Tea. A ginger drop cocktail is a welcome sight on any bar menu as is a whiskey mac (Scotch and Green Ginger Wine) around the holidays. In addition to its pungent, aromatic flavor, ginger is considered to have many healing properties. Historically known as a digestive aid, the processed rhizome in its many forms also helps with diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain and morning sickness. Keeping candied ginger or those ginger chews in the car is always a good idea when driving Highway 1 to Stinson and beyond because of its help with motion sickness. Further, evidence shows that ginger shortens colds, boosts the immune system and helps with headaches. In Japan, they make a paste of raw ginger and put it on their temples to ward off a migraine. The herb’s high rate of gingerol, which gives it that zingy taste, contributes to its affects as a potent antiinflammatory. Studies on different types of arthritis have shown success with swelling, pain and joint use. There have also been promising results on ginger’s ability to slow cancer cells, especially in the ovary and colon. Additionally, ginger can reduce the incidence of kidney damage in diabetics and minimize menstrual cramps as effectively as ibuprofen. The essential oil has also been used with some success as a treatment for burns. Good tasting and good for you, aromatic ginger is a superstar as both an herb and a medicine. The unmistakable fragrance of fresh ginger chases the chill on a foggy day, adds zest to a bevy of dishes and beverages and heals the body from the inside out.
Sesame Ginger Asparagus Add scallops, shrimp, tofu or chicken when you add the asparagus to make a hearty main dish. Yield: 6-8 servings 2 tablespoons peanut oil 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced 2 lbs asparagus spears, trimmed 2 tablespoons organic tamari sauce 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
Heat peanut oil over high heat in a wok or 12-inch saute pan, swirling to evenly coat pan. Add the ginger and asparagus and cook, tossing frequently until fragrant. Lower heat to medium and stir in tamari sauce and sugar and cook until asparagus is done to your liking, about 4 minutes for crisp/tender. Add sesame oil and seeds, stirring to evenly distribute. Serve warm or at room temperature. ----
Island Teriyaki Burgers Ginger is thought to have reached the Hawaiian islands in 1778 with Captain Cook—some consider these Island Teriyaki Burgers his ultimate legacy.
You can use the teriyaki sauce as a marinade for pork ribs or chops, chicken and fish. Yield: 4 servings BURGERS: 1 lb. ground turkey 1 can pineapple rings, divided 1/4 cup water chestnuts cut in 1/4-inch pieces 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper MARINADE: 1/2 cup organic tamari or dark soy sauce 1/4 cup pineapple juice 1 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced 1 clove garlic, minced Juice of one-half lemon 8 rings pineapple 1/4 cup mayonnaise
16 PACIFIC SUN APRIL 26 - MAY 2, 2013
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves 8 butter lettuce leaves 4 burger buns
Drain juice from can of pineapple and reserve liquid. Cut 2 or 3 rings into 1/4-inch dice to make 1/2 cup; save the rest of the pineapple for later. Mix turkey with diced pineapple, water chestnuts and salt and pepper until well combined. Form into 4 even patties and set aside. Mix tamari, 1/4 cup of reserved pineapple juice, ginger, garlic and lemon in a baking dish large enough to hold burgers and pineapple rings in an even layer. Remove 2 tablespoons of marinade and mix into the mayonnaise, set aside. Add burgers and pineapple to the dish, turning to coat well with teriyaki. Allow to marinate in fridge for at least 1 1/2 hours. Preheat grill to medium and remove burgers and pineapple rings from marinade. Oil grill rack then grill burgers about 4-6 minutes per side until caramelized on outside and desired doneness is achieved. Grill pineapple rings until nicely colored on each side and warmed through. Spread teriyaki mayonnaise on buns, top with 2 pineapple rings, 2 lettuce leaves and a handful of cilantro for each burger. Place burger on top then other bun half. Enjoy! ----
Iced Ginger Tea Quencher 2 fresh mint leaves 3/4 cup gingerade drink, such as Big Island Hawaiian Organics brand or Ginger People 3/4 cup brewed black or green tea, cooled
Muddle the mint leaves in the bottom of a large glass. Add the gingerade and tea and stir well with a long spoon. Add ice and slurp appreciatively.< Zest up Brooke’s day at brooke.d.jackson@gmail.com.

â&#x20AC;şâ&#x20AC;ş RESTAURANT REVIEW
Beso puckers up in Novato New Hamilton restaurant has diners blowing kisses thus far... by Jason Walsh
F
rom our little table in the dining room of Beso Bistro & Wine Bar, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help noticing a regular stream of faces peering in through a small window along the front entrance ramp to the newly opened restaurant. Once outside, following our meal, we checked out this â&#x20AC;&#x153;window viewâ&#x20AC;? to the dining area and the attraction was clearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the place looks positively Norman Rockwellesque through the double-paned portal. All aglow, and bustling and cozy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign for the Hamilton communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only neighborhood restaurant. One would think being the lone restaurant within a somewhat isolated community of about 2,000 people would be a canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-miss proposition. But that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case for the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous
The calamari comes wrapped in paper, a European style (now trendy stateside) of serving fried vittles.
incarnation as the Hamilton Cafe; in 2011 then-owner Zoran Matulic cited a desire to retire, along with slowing business and a tough economy, among his reasons for putting the place up for sale after a sixyear run. In its infancy, Hamilton Cafe enjoyed stellar reviews, but later years saw a drop off in enthusiasm and the restaurant itself seemed to dragâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;however, if Beso can sustain the energy and atmosphere we experienced on our recent visit, it may be Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen of choice for years to come. The kitchen is helmed by Leo Correaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; he and wife Erika are also the proprietorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the dishes we tried ranged from OK to good to nearly great. (The â&#x20AC;&#x153;OKâ&#x20AC;? was the Asian chicken salad, $13, a soy-vinaigrette toss that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make anyone forget Comfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version anytime soon.) A more sublime starter was the Dungeness crab cakes ($13) that mixed a nice tanginess (it comes with citrus butter and orange jicama) with a chipotle aioliâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tongue teaser and comes in a generous portion. The menu as a whole features a lot of standard California â&#x20AC;&#x153;bistroâ&#x20AC;? fareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;restaurant staples prepared with a European twist. Prawn cocktail ($11), calamari ($10) and onion rings ($7) on the starters menu; burgers ($12), fish and chips ($14) and various pastas and meat/seafood grills ($15 to $22) rounding out the entrees. (A menu often says less about the restaurant than about the clientele itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after.)

Payne combines two passions—photography and music—in his latest project, ‘Tracing Footsteps.’
Feats don’t fail me now! Little Feat keyboardist Payne ‘traces’ new path to the Sweetwater by G re g Cahill
T
hey say time loves a hero. As a founding member of Little Feat, a seminal roots-rock act in the late-’60s and early to mid-’70s, keyboardist, singer and composer Bill Payne played a pivotal role in helping to establish the Americana movement. His writing credits include the little Feat classics “Oh, Atlanta,” “Triple Face Boogie” and “Times Loves a Hero.” As a session player, he’s played or recorded with Jackson Browne, the Doobie Bothers, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Seger, Stevie Nicks, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffet, to name a few. Less well known is the fact that Payne is a gifted photographer, whose lens has captured behind-the-scenes views of the rock world, including candid shots of the late, great Little Feat guitarist, singer and songwriter Lowell George, as well as the expansive American landscapes that have informed Payne’s music. His new solo show, “Tracing Footsteps,” combines his music and his
photography in a revue that ranges from material from his tenure with Little Feat and other acts to his current solo career, including new material that Payne has written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. He brings the show to the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley on May 8. Grateful Dead publicist and biographer Dennis McNally will kick off the evening with his own Tales from the Road, and later will host an onstage Q&A with Payne. The chance to hear Payne discuss his craft is a rare opportunity to tune into the heart of rock ’n’ roll—Payne’s reverence for the music and the people who create it is evident in his blogs. Here’s a preview, as Payne describes playing an old piano that was played by the late Richard Manuel of the Band on many of that group’s key tracks: “I was told Johnny Lee [Schell]’s recording studio housed Richard Manuel’s piano. [Little Feat guitarist] Paul Barrere had suggested we make use of Johnny’s
place to record our next project. Not that I needed any persuading—Johnny’s studio is legendary. It is a converted garage separated from his home in the back on a quiet street in Studio City. What gives the studio a feeling of comfort is not just the coziness of the place, it is the man himself. The studioís compact style and country-western art (as in Roy Rogers and Gene Autry) with Gunsmoke and Have Gun, Will Travel on a television up on the
back wall are a reflection of Johnny Lee and his laid-back style. You feel like you are at home, and you are. “He’s a great engineer and a wonderful musician—he plays just about everything. During Little Feat’s time there for the Rooster Rag sessions he sang some amazingly soulful and sophisticated background vocal arrangements on ‘Church Falling Down,’ ‘Rag Top Down,’ and ‘Salome’—I’d been completely unaware of his considerable vocal abilities. Still, I was intrigued by what the piano might sound like, what condition it was in... “When I played the piano for the first time, all my questions were answered and then some. ‘The piano damn near plays itself!’ was my thinking... “The truth is, it’s a Steinway. This one in particular has the ‘magic’ (a word I tend to use a lot, but I always mean it).”< Give Greg a little magic at gcahill51@gmail.com. ›› SPiN of the Week I Thought About You, a Tribute to Chet Baker by Eliane Elias (Concord) Grammy-winning Brazilian jazz pianist and vocalist Eliane Elias settles comfortably onto Diana Krall’s piano bench on this homage to the prince of cool, the troubled trumpet and vocal legend Chet Baker. Trumpet great Randy Brecker peppers these sultry tracks with his own horn, the acoustic combo is world class, and Elias’ liquid, lyrical keyboard skills recall Gene Harris. But this is first and foremost a vocal tribute to the smooth sounds the fallen jazz star spun around standards by Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Hoagy Carmichael and other songwriting giants. —GC

Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey (an impressively shape-shifting Harrison Ford), for reasons that straddle the line between business and idealism, recruited Robinson with the full awareness that breaking the color barrier would be risky, especially for Robinson. The movie includes a number of scenes depicting the verbal and physical abuse, including thousands of death threats, which Robinson endured with a remarkable amount of strength and an almost Robinson starred in the 1950 film ‘The Jackie Robinson Story,’ a slightly rosier superhuman sense of inversion of events surrounding his breaking of the color barrier. 22 PACIFIC SUN APRIL 26 – MAY 2, 2013

ner guts and self-control. “It’s a very emotional film, in places,” admits Fost, agreeing that there are not many people who will be able to avoid choking up during some of the films more powerful depictions of Robinson facing the fires of racism and hate. “On the other hand,” he adds, “I loved it, but I don’t know if I loved it because it was a great movie—which it probably isn’t, or because it was a great story. This is a great story, and it’s a baseball story too. And I love baseball stories, so ...” I mention that movies about “firsts” are often powerful, films that trace the path of the first African American fighter pilots, or look forward to the first female president. It makes Fost think of the scene in 42 where Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca, attempting to reach out to Robinson, encourages him to shower with the rest of the team. “That scene, where Branca is saying, ‘Shower with me Jackie!’ then he gets all uncomfortable, and starts going, ëI mean ... I don’t mean shower with me... I mean, shower with us ... I mean ...’ Watching that scene, I was thinking, I wonder if 50 years from now, we’ll be watching a biopic of the first openly gay baseball player in the major leagues. I wondered if that scene in the movie was a veiled way of making the point that baseball still has some catching up to do.” “So...Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers in 1947...” I ask Fost, “but how long was it before the Giants integrated their team? And who was the first African-American to play for the Giants?” “There were two,” he says. “It was Monty Irvin and Hank Thompson. It was two years after Jackie started playing for the Dodgers. Irvin was an established star in the Negro
Leagues, and he’s in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was near the end of his career by the time baseball integrated, so when he started playing for the Giants, he only had a few more years to go. “In 2010,” he continues, “they decided to retire his number. Jackie Robinson, of course, was number 42. Monty Irvin was number 20. So there was a big ceremony, and all the living Hall-of-Famers were there—Mays, McCovey, Marichel. Mays told great stories about how Irvin helped him along in his career.” “2010. The year the Giants won the World Series,” I remark. “Exactly,” Fost says, grinning again. “After 50 years in San Francisco, without ever winning the World Series, they finally win the year that Monty Irvin was properly honored for his contributions to the Giants. There are those who say it was a kind of karmic thing. The Giants finally did the right thing—and good things came of it.” Fost has one more surprising bit of trivia to drop. “In Jackie Robinson’s original Hall of Fame plaque, hanging in Cooperstown, there was no mention of integration,” he says. “What? Really? How is that possible?” “Well, that’s the thing about baseball, as the narrator says at the beginning of the movie—baseball players are known by their statistics. How many runs. How many strike outs. How many wins. It’s the ultimate equalizer. In the end, the color of a players skin doesn’t matter. “Like the song says,” Fost smiles, “in the end, it’s how you play the game that matters—and that’s all, right?”< Send David your career stats at talkpix@earthlink.net.

Doors still open at Open Studios Marin Open Studios toasts 20th year—after nearly getting the brush off! by Dani Burlison
J
ust over a year ago, the fate of the county’s popular Marin Open Studios event was up in the air. After nearly two decades of showcasing local artists in their places of inspiration, the annual event had blossomed under the guidance of the Marin Arts Council(MAC). But when the 30-year presence of the Arts Council came to a sudden halt when the organization disbanded in 2012, many expected that Marin Open Studios might dissolve with it. “Clearly, the county wants this event to happen. People love it,” says Marin Open
co-chair Doraleen Davis decided to take on Marin Open Studios in order to keep it alive. Though it was too late to save the Arts Council, Carlson and a small group of volunteers—comprised of business people and artists—picked up and moved forward. “Last year was the trauma year of it, with it being so in jeopardy,” says Carlson. “I couldn’t let my child die, you know?” This year, however, Marin Open Studios appears to be moving forward with steady footing. And 267 participating artists. “This is a small, mean and lean committee here,” says Carlson of her five-member group. “I really feel strongly that it is an incubator for artists in this county and that they have the opportunity to meet each other, see each others’ work, for the public to know who the artists in their neighborhood is, for children to come through and have that experience.” And the experience they’ll have includes an opening night 20th anniversary Preview Gala with local food to nosh on Marin Open Studios founder Kay Carlson couldn’t let her ‘child’ die. and wine flowing—thanks to the San Francisco Wine InstiStudios co-founder Kay Carlson. “We have tute—not to mention the two subsequent really strong community support.” weekends of open studios throughout Carlson launched Marin Open Studios Marin.

Hi-ho ‘Silver’!!
The best romances are sleepers, andSILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, which shot to blockbuster status unexpectedly last November, is right up there with the finest of them. Director David O. Russell reportedly went through a roster of actors before schedule conflicts led him to Bradley Cooper, whose role as a bipolar obsessive seemed completely unsuited to his GQ looks, and Jennifer Lawrence, fresh off The Pat’s (Bradely Cooper) loyalty to the Philadelphia Hunger Games and 15 years too young for Eagles is symbolic of the character’s self-abusing her part. But the ineffable happened, and mental state. these two are the purest magic together. Cooper and Lawrence play two oddball souls whose romantic losses have unhinged them—Pat still carrying the torch for his estranged wife after a stint in a mental-hospital, and Tiffany bereaved into a tailspin by her husband’s death. Their unlikely romance turns on the chance that two wildly overstrong personalities will find lines of affection through all the madness. But it’s Lawrence’s utter vulnerability and charm that takes the breath away—you can’t not fall in love with her. Credit Russell, whose script adaptation of the Matthew Quick novel gave his usual madcap a tinge of darker, more personal territory. Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver costar as the Pat’s nutty parents, with Chris Tucker as the fellow patient on a very iffy parole. The DVD makes a solid rental: I hung on every deleted scene and making-of, especially when director Russell, fresh off of watching Lawrence deliver a moment for the ages, yells“Yeah! That’s cinema!”—Richard Gould Micus, Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Michael Stearns, Tim Story and Stellamara, plus a special presentation by “The Ambient Century” author Mark Prendergast. Meet the artists, fellow listeners, other ambient musicians, and the HOS staff. Tickets are very limited. 2pm-midnight May 3; 10am-11pm, May 4; 10am-11:15pm May 5. $65-$329.

Q:
I walked into my apartment and, to my horror, thought my boyfriend had been electrocuted. He was sprawled on the kitchen floor by an open electrical outlet with wires sticking out. There was a screwdriver near him, and the skin on his arm and hand was discolored. I ran over and started crying and shaking him. He started laughing and yelled, “April fools!” It hadn’t occurred to me that it was April Fools’ Day, because I truly thought he was dead. He says he thought I’d freak for a moment and then bust out laughing. I’m finding myself unable to forgive him, despite the fact that he says he is sorry and meant it to be a joke. —No Laughing Matter
A:
You, like a lot of women, probably love surprises—just not the sort that leave you kneeling over your boyfriend’s lifeless body, wondering whether to call EMS or the coroner. (What, was there no Saran Wrap he could put across the toilet bowl?) The power of laughter can get a little oversold. (If it truly were “the best medicine,” hospitals would skip the morphine drip and hang a chimp in overalls from that metal pole by the patient’s bed.) Laughter does seem to be pretty good medicine for relationships—assuming a guy’s attempt to make a woman laugh doesn’t make her hold a grudge. Researchers have found that the ability to be funny is correlated with high intelligence—a plus in a partner—and with what cognitive psychologist Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman deems “the Woody Allen effect,” the possibility for even geeky-looking guys to get and hang on to girlfriends. (Woody Allen didn’t attract the ladies because, in pitch darkness, he looks just like Clive Owen.) As for why your boyfriend pulled this stunt, the phrase “Seemed like a good idea at the time” comes to mind. A guy can get so caught up in making authentically gruesome char marks on his arm that he never considers how hilarious you’re likely to find it when the man you love appears to be lying dead on your kitchen floor. As for your inability to forgive him, it probably feels “safer” to cling to your grudge because it puts distance between you and the potential for future hurt. Unfortunately, it also distances you from the good stuff—love, affection, connection and the continuation of your relationship. To decide whether to break up with your grudge or your boyfriend, ask yourself a few questions: Does he now understand why you were so upset? Is this number 3,024 in a long line of painful idiocies or just a one-time painfully stupid thing? And outside of when he’s pretending to have died horribly, does he show you he cares about your feelings and well-being? Unless you have reason to believe Faked Death: The Sequel or other major insensitivities will pop up in your future, it’s probably time to give that grudge you’ve been holding a pat on the butt and a bag lunch and send it on its way.
Q:
I’ve been with two men for nearly 10 years. (Yes, they know about each other.) My BFF has been my boyfriend on and off, but he broke my trust long ago, and the sex isn’t good. The other man’s an amazing lover, but we just have a weekly fling because he’s in a relationship. Friends say to drop both and start fresh, but that’s not so easy! Seeing the fling guy endears me more to the BFF, and seeing the BFF makes me long for the fling guy. —Stuck
A:
When they say that to find a prince you have to kiss a lot of toads, this isn’t supposed to mean kissing the same two toads a lot—week after week, for 10 years. Now, Flotsam and Jetsam here aren’t without their merits, such as how being with one endears you to the other—much in the way stomach flu must make you long for strep throat. And if, as a little girl, you lay awake imagining yourself being shuffled between an untrustworthy bad lover and a man with a girlfriend, well then, congrats—you’re living your dream. Otherwise, perhaps you’ve forgotten something: You have freedom of choice and lots of men out there to choose from. Of course, for freedom of choice to work, you actually have to choose— have standards and not drop them and your panties every time a bad deal texts you that it wants to come over. No, it won’t be “easy.” It’s just what you have to do if you want more—like a guy who can’t wait to see you, and not because his girlfriend’s yoga class is only 45 minutes or he’s hot to make up for violating your trust with some unsatisfying sex. < © Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. www.advicegoddess.com.
