Sharing a bottle of wine over some excellent pizza at Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola is the way to go.

My husband and I met up with a couple of friends in Shadowbrook’s Rock Room for an overdue get-together. One of the more famous restaurants on the West Coast, Shadowbrook never fails—both in ambiance and quality of its cuisine. And the bottle of the Hilt Estate’s 2022 Chardonnay, which I brought with me, was an ideal pairing with the restaurant’s flavorful pizzas.

Hilt winemaker Matt Dees says this Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay ($50) is ripe and enticing—with notes of mango, green melon, honeysuckle and wet gravel. “It’s precise and full of energy,” he says, “with sunlight shining out of the glass.” With its “piercing acidity,” this elegant fruit-driven chardonnay is worthy of pairing with delicious food.

The Hilt also makes pinot noir, syrah and a beautiful sparkling wine made with pinot noir and chardonnay grapes.

ARIES March 21-April 19

You have had resemblances to cactuses in recent days. It hasn’t always been pleasant and cheerful, but you have become pretty skilled at surviving, even thriving, despite an insufficiency of juicy experiences. Fortunately, the emotional fuel you had previously stored up has sustained you, keeping you resilient and reasonably fluid. However, this situation will soon change. More succulence is on its way. Scarcity will end, and you will be blessed with an enhanced flow of lush feelings.

TAURUS April 20-May 20

I foresee abundance emerging from modest sources. I predict breakthroughs arising out of your loving attention to the details of the routine. So please don’t get distracted by poignant meditations on what you feel is missing from your life. Don’t fantasize about what you wish you could be doing instead of what you are actually doing. Your real wealth lies in the small tasks that are right in front of you—even though they may not yet have revealed their full meaning or richness. I invite you and encourage you to be alert for grandeur in seemingly mundane intimate moments.

GEMINI May 21-June 20

It’s time for your Uncle Rob to offer you some fundamental advice for living. These tips are always worthy of your contemplation, but especially now. Ready? Being poised amidst uncertainty is a superpower. You may attract wonders and blessings if you can function well while dealing with contradictory feelings, unclear situations and incomplete answers. Don’t rush to artificial closure when patience with the unfinished state will serve you better. Be willing to address just part of a problem rather than trying to insist on total resolution. There’s no need to be worried or frustrated if some enigmas cannot yet be explained and resolved. Enjoy the mystery!

CANCER June 21-July 22

Acclaimed Cancerian poet Lucille Clifton published 14 books and mothered six children. That heroism seems almost impossible. Having helped raise one child myself, I know how consuming it is to be a parent. Where did she find the time and energy to generate so much great literature? Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you now have access to high levels of productivity comparable to Clifton’s. Like her, you will also be able to gracefully juggle competing demands and navigate adeptly through different domains. Here’s my favorite part: Your stellar efficiency will stem not from stressfully trying too hard but rather from good timing and a nimble touch.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world was the Colossus of Rhodes, located on a Greek island. Symbolizing power and triumph, it was a towering statue dedicated to the sun god Helios. The immediate motivation for its construction was the local people’s defeat of an invading army. I hereby authorize you to acquire or create your own personal version of an inspiring icon like the Colossus, Leo. It will symbolize the fact that the coming months will stimulate lavish expressions of your leonine power. It will help inspire you to showcase your talents and make bold moves. PS: Be alert for chances to mobilize others with your leadership. Your natural brilliance will be a beacon.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s biggest structure built by living things. Lying beneath the Coral Sea off the east coast of Australia, it’s made by billions of small organisms, coral polyps, all working together to create a magnificent home for a vast diversity of life forms. Let’s make the Great Barrier Reef your symbol of power for the next 10 months, Virgo. I hope it inspires you to manage and harness the many details that together will generate a robust source of vitality for your tribe, family and community.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22

One of my favorite poets, Arthur Rimbaud, wrote all of his brilliant work before he became an adult. I suspect that no matter what your age is, many of you Libras are now in an ultra-precocious phase with some resemblances to Rimbaud from age 16 to 21. The downside of this situation is that you may be too advanced for people to thoroughly understand you. You could be ahead of your time and too cool for even the trendsetters. I urge you to trust your farseeing visions and forward-looking intuitions even if others can’t appreciate them yet. What you bring to us from the future will benefit us all.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Blacksmiths still exist. They were more common in the past, but there are many 21st-century practitioners. It’s a demanding art, requiring intense heat to soften hard slabs of metal so they can be forged into intricate new shapes. The process requires both fire and finesse. I think you are currently in a phase when blacksmithing is an apt metaphor. You will need to artfully interweave passion and precision. Fiery ambition or intense feelings may arise, offering you raw energy for transformation. To harness it effectively, you must temper your approach with patience, restraint and detail-oriented focus.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Jean-Paul Sartre and Simon de Beauvoir were two feisty, independent, strong-minded French writers. Beauvoir was a trailblazing feminist, and Sartre was a Nobel Laureate. Though they never officially married, they were a couple for 51 years. Aside from their great solo accomplishments, they also gave us this gift: They proved that romantic love and intellectual equality could coexist, even thrive together, with the help of creative negotiation. I propose we make them your inspirational role models for now. The coming months will be a favorable time to deepen and refine your devotion to crafting satisfying, interesting intimate relationships.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Over 2,600 years ago, ancient Babylonian astronomers figured out the highly complex cycle that governs the recurrence of lunar and solar eclipses. It unfolds over a period of 18 years and 11 days. To analyze its full scope required many generations of researchers to carry out meticulous record-keeping with extreme patience. Let’s make those Babylonian researchers your role models, Capricorn. In the coming months, I hope they inspire you to engage in careful observation and persistent investigation as you discover meaningful patterns. May they excite your quest to discern deep cycles and hidden rhythms.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18

I invite you to try this visualization exercise, Aquarius: Picture a rosebud inside your body. It’s located in your solar plexus. Imagine it’s steadily and gently opening, filling your body with a sweet, blissful warmth, like a slow-motion orgasm that lasts and lasts. Feel the velvet red petals unfolding; inhale the soft radiance of succulent fragrance. As the rose fully blooms, you become aware of a gold ring at its center. Imagine yourself reaching inside and taking the ring with your right hand. Slip the ring onto your left ring finger and tell yourself, “I pledge to devote all my passionate intelligence to my own well-being. I promise to forever treat myself with tender loving respect. I vow to seek out high-quality beauty and truth as I fulfill my life’s mission.”

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20

I foresee the arrival of a living fossil, Pisces. An influence you thought was gone may soon reappear. Aspects of your past could prove relevant to your current situation. These might be neglected skills, seemingly defunct connections or dormant dreams. I hope you have fun integrating rediscovered resources and earmarking them for use in the future. PS: Here’s a lesson worth treasuring: While the world has changed, a certain fundamental truth remains true and valuable to you.

Tragedy + Time

Comedy

Daedalus Howell

June 3, 2025

It’s said that comedy is tragedy plus time. In Aaron Foster’s case, it’s also depression, anxiety, grief, two restaurants, a defunct sports nutrition brand and a stint as an HGTV host—all seasoned with gallows humor and served under the banner Mostly Jokes.

The show, which lands at the Actors’ Theatre on June 4, is a one-man dive into the deep end of mental health with nothing but a mic as a flotation device. Foster, who returned to stand-up after a 15-year hiatus, has crafted an autobiographical act that confronts—with harrowing hilarity—his family trauma, career detours and the garden-variety existential dread that festers behind curated Instagram smiles.

“The first time I told a joke about my brother committing suicide, it did not go well, to say the least,” he told me. “But, one person (one) found me after the show and said their brother had done the same thing and that it was the funniest joke they’d ever heard. That was enough reason to stick with it.”

Dark? Yep. But ultimately cathartic (for both the performer and the audience) and, above all, funny.

“I don’t think there is such a thing as ‘too dark,’ but there is definitely such a thing as ‘not funny,’ and that’s the ultimate measuring stick,” Foster said. “When you’re starting out and audiences don’t know you, it’s not always ideal to open with five (or 15) minutes about clinical depression, so you’d better figure out a way to make that stuff really funny and relatable.”

Foster does. And he’s earned his black belt in emotional jujitsu, flipping pain into punchlines with finesse honed over years—years of therapy.

“My life is pretty fantastic on paper. Unfortunately, in my head, it’s a whole different thing,” he said, candid about his ongoing bouts with imposter syndrome and a tendency to catastrophize. “An hour on stage in front of 100 strangers is more comfortable to me than 10 minutes at a cocktail party.”

Comedy is where chaos and control share a safe-word. And Foster’s set is a masterclass in owning the narrative. From strained family dynamics (a bipolar father, a schizophrenic brother, among other issues) to the psychic wounds of the career complexifier known as Hollywood.

“Turning a breakdown into material might be easier than turning it into a breakthrough, unfortunately. Unless turning a breakdown into material is the breakthrough?” he noted.

It might be. At least it’s honest. And in a culture over-attuned to performative vulnerability on TikTok and Instagram, the real deal is damn near revolutionary. That said, Foster is not deluded about the odds. Hollywood loves a comeback story—but it’s hard to get it to notice.

“Sure, it’s late in the game, but it ain’t over ’til you’re dead and buried, so you might as well keep swinging,” he said. “It’s probably as long a shot as doing it the other way, maybe longer, but at least it’s mine.”

Aaron Foster performs his solo show, “Mostly Jokes,” at 8pm on June at Actors’ Theatre, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz. Tickets: $15. santacruzactorstheatre.org

AIDS Ride Hits Finish Line

Todd Guild

Just over three decades ago, a group of people set out on a 545-mile bicycle journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a weeklong trek that took them along rugged coastlines, through verdant agricultural fields and along vast stretches of highway.

Then called the California AIDS Ride, the annual event evolved in 2002 to the AIDS/LifeCycle. It is the world’s largest annual HIV/AIDS fundraiser, and benefits the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

With 2,067 cyclists and about 800 road crew participating in this year’s event—and more than $300 million raised since its inception—few would question either its success or its allure.

Despite this, crossing the finish line on June 7 will have bittersweet significance for the riders, since the event is ending its 31-year run this year.

Tyler TerMeer, San Francisco AIDS Foundation CEO, said the event has seen a decline in participation, despite record-breaking attendance after the Covid-19 pandemic.

After decreases in 2023 and 24, organizers saw shifts in the way people participate in their communities.

“They were hanging out in smaller groups, not going to large events,” he said. “But also people’s jobs changed, the way they were able to raise money changed, the amount of time they could take off work changed, and this ride was a very large commitment.”

And so, as costs of producing the event increased as revenues decreased, organizers wanted to make sure they were being good stewards of their donors’ funds.

“At the end of the day, we wanted to make a really thoughtful decision for the participants of the AIDS/LifeCycle community,” TerMeer said. “And if we were going to end the ride, to do so in a way that would allow them to feel closure to something that has been so meaningful to so many people for so many years.”

TerMeer, who has been living with HIV for more than two decades, said he found the ride about 17 years ago, a discovery that changed his life.

“I found some of the people I consider my closest friends and chosen family on this ride,” he said. “I learned about real community and real leadership, and I cannot imagine my life up until this point without it. I know that I will always carry so much of what I learned, so many of the people, so many of the stories forever. This community is just so magical; it is what we want the world to look like every day.”

The announcement that this year would be AIDS/LifeCycle’s swan song drew an immediate response, TerMeer said.

“When we announced the final ride, we saw an immense amount of love for our community,” he said. “We sold out very quickly. We just have so much love out on the road right now.”

TerMeer stressed that the organizations that have heretofore benefitted from the ride will still be engaging their missions, and that they still need donors.

And more events are in the works, including a three-day cycling event from San Francisco through Sonoma wine country, and the return of a running event called the Big Gay 10K, TerMeer said.

“LifeCycle has always been more than the miles we ride,” he said. “It’s about the movement that we have been committed to, not only the HIV movement, but the movement of our bodies and the movement of the stories that we’ve collected and the movement of the people that we carry in our hearts. And I think that we’re really committed to figuring out how the heart of AIDS/LifeCycle continues into the future.”

Seeing Red? Highway 1 Bus Lanes Explained

Seeing Red? Highway 1 Bus Lanes Explained

It’s probably the most-asked question in the county today. Large swaths of Highway 1 lanes between Soquel Drive and 41st Avenue have been painted bright red as part of the ongoing Bus-On-Shoulder project but what do they mean? How will they work? Are the third lanes along the freeway edges for buses only?

We reached Amin Abuamara, the director of capital projects for the Regional Transportation Committee, who gave us the answers in a way we could understand (which up to now nothing else has).

The new auxiliary lanes on the edges of the freeway can be used by buses or cars. They are designed for cars going from one exit to the next. They will be built in three stages from Soquel Drive to Freedom Boulevard.
The first stage from Soquel Drive to 41st Avenue should be finished by July 30.
The red boxes, which are a new concept called Bus-On-Shoulder lanes, are, as it says, only for buses getting on or off the exits. They are meant to speed up buses and make them more desirable. Cars aren’t allowed on them, thus the red warning. Those boxes won’t be operational until the second segment is finished.
The next segment, Bay/Porter to State Park Drive, won’t be finished until fall 2026. That one is funded and the segment after that, which will go to Freedom Boulevard, is awaiting funding. That last segment is 95 percent designed and could be finished in two or three years, said Abuamara.

So, cars will have what appears to be an added third lane, but it won’t really increase traffic capacity much, said Abuamara. It should make it easier for drivers who want to only go from one exit to the next.

But what about drivers who want to jump onto the auxiliary lane and then cut back into the left two lanes of traffic?

“People will realize that’s not our way of driving,” the director said. “With time, people might think that’s not the proper way to do it.”

There are similar lanes on Highway 680, he said, that have proven to relieve congestion.

Bus drivers will need training to use the red boxes, so they won’t be in use until fall 2026, when 4.5 miles of auxiliary lanes should be finished.

The RTC’s website projects the costs of the lanes and bus shoulders in the first phase at $43 million with $98.7 million for the second phase and $238 million for all three phases up to Freedom, including a pedestrian crossing at Mar Vista Drive and a new bridge at Capitola Avenue. Some of the money comes from Measure D, which voters passed in 2016 and the rest from grants, according to Brian Zamora, assistant transportation engineer.

The contractor is Granite Construction of Watsonville.

On July 30, the RTC is planning to celebrate several completed projects, including the auxiliary lanes. The other is the Chanticleer bike and pedestrian bridge, the one with the whales on it.

The party is set for 5:30-7pm July 30 at the Chanticleer Overcrossing (it was originally planned for May 14).

I’d pretend to be Spider Man, swinging on monkey bars at the playground. The neighborhood kids would pretend to be superheroes and jump around. We would randomly pick someone and imagine they are the enemy. Sometimes it got confrontational, so the parents could step in.

Daniel Zeng, 19, Pre-Law Major at Pitzer College

We played house during recess at elementary school. We played in the sand and everyone had their roles, and we had different scenarios, like we would make food with the sand.

Sienna Gibbs, 19, Psychology Major at UCSC

My neighbors and I would play Legos and build a whole city with a supermarket. You always want more Legos and it’s fun to figure out what to do with the pile. We would make lots of Lego guys and put them on a Lego airplane so they can fight each other.

Zach Rugee, 21, Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology Major at UCSC

We had those spiky balls from trees all over. We’d pretend it was a minefield, so if you step on one it blows up or sticks to your bare foot. We built forts with them and threw them like cannonballs. And I’d make paper airplane spaceships like Star Wars and fly them through leaves and bushes like a jungle planet.

Anthony Garcia, 23, Nomad

My friend and I would pick ferns and hide behind them. We would tell my little sister that we were “fern sisters,” like we were made of ferns.

Melissa Lamb, 56, School Psychologist

In preschool, I told a girl, “I want a kiss from you.” She said, “I’ll pretend my glue stick is lipstick, so the kiss won’t go away.” When I kissed her, my lips stuck together, and she laughed. She said, “I told you! You’ll never forget me now!” And I never have. I learned then that women are smarter than us.

Would you like to be famous? If so, for what?

DJ! My stage name is DJ Angel, because my name is Angela. You’ll hear all about it!

Angela Nguyen, 18, Cognitive Science Major, UCSC

I chased fame when I was younger, but I wasn’t being my true self. Now I have a son and a beautiful girlfriend, and I’m happy with serenity and a good job. … Peace comes from being a good hard worker, a good father and a good partner.

Michael Bronzburg, 37, Professional “MacGyver”

I was listening to a Buddhist lecture today and it taught that we should abandon ambition because chasing fame leads to suffering. So today the answer is no, because if you’re chasing outward validation, you’re running from true happiness.

Sara McGrath, 30, Sociology Major, Cabrillo College

I would like to be famous for having the purplest hair. I’m an artist, but no, just purple.

Naomi Kerekes, 19, Art & Design: Games and Playable Media, UCSC

I don’t have a desire to be famous, but if I could be, it would be to draw attention to people hurting in need and break the barrier of invisibility. There was a lady who was famous for just putting money in people’s parking meters.

TC Lovett, 55, Barista, Lulu’s on Pacific

I always wanted to be famous as an actor. I was in a play in high school, and I used to make film videos—drama, action or horror—so I would act in them too. … But I don’t have time anymore to plan a video and get together with a crew.

Santa Cruz California editor of good times news media print and web — **Brad Kava** | Good Times Editor

I’ll never forget when my then 4-year-old son started to understand where food comes from.

We were talking about how fish eat worms and flies, then birds eat the fish and then predators eat the birds.

“It’s a good thing we don’t eat animals,” he said. “We eat food.”

I got a kick under the table from his mother telling me not to explain. But eventually I did, and he was grossed out that we ate meat but he justified it saying that since animals eat animals and we are animals, he was OK eating meat.

He doesn’t feel the guilt I do, when I look at cows and think they could end up on my table. I suspect he will someday.

Meanwhile, I’ve introduced him to alternatives.

Last year we went to VegFest and he was happy with the meat substitutes and all the vegan options. It opened a whole new world.

That’s the message in a festival that has grown in a year from an outpost at the Cocoanut Grove to the wide expanse of the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville. You don’t have to eat meat out of habit, convenience or taste. There are options that are beneficial to the environment and your health.

We think a visit to this Fest will open your minds and taste buds to new possibilities.

Speaking of fests, the good news is that the Gilroy Garlic Festival is back, which you can read about in Mark C. Anderson’s dining column. The bad news is that the Artichoke Festival is gone after 65 years, but I would bet it will be back somewhere. Artichokes, so plentiful here, deserve a celebration. I never met anyone who tried their first ’choke and didn’t love it.

We no longer have smell-o-vision in the movies, but we have a new local business celebrating local smells with candles called Hot Melty Wax. Read Mat Weir’s article for the scoop.

Thanks for reading.

FOSTERING FEMALE BUSINESS

What an inspiring move! The Regional Women’s Business Center is a fantastic step toward fostering female entrepreneurship. I’ve always believed that collaboration is key, and this center will provide the perfect platform for women to connect and share their experiences. In my own journey, I found that platforms like Invisibly reviews helped me navigate challenges by providing valuable insights. Here’s to breaking barriers and building a supportive community!

CHINESE FOOD TIP

I’m a fan of this restaurant too, and I completely agree that Special Noodle is a great spot for anyone who enjoys Chinese food.

HUERTA HEROICS

DOLORES HUERTA is a hero, as she speaks the truth that some farm owners do NOT want to hear.
The fact that the cancer rate for Latino children is more than three times the number of the non-Latino child population should tell you: GENOCIDE BY PESTICIDE!
I live in Watsonville. The fact that our entire city is considered one entire spray zone should tell you something: our residents are children of a lesser god. It is time for Mr. Driscoll to get a damn clue about organic farming. Our city of Watsonville is NOT a test zone for the pesticide and herbicide industry. Our residents are NOT collateral damage for the farming industry. And all of us need to provide the best health care for children, and not allow trumpdump and the RETHUGLICANS to cut Medi-Cal funding.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for this article about an invaluable community (and beyond) resource!
I think it is well written and, while succinct, you touch on the variety of resources that WomenCARE offers. I hope more women will utilize the services and that more folks will support the film festival.
The majority of WomenCARE’s funding comes from our caring community.
I know; after almost 23 years with WomenCARE, I retired April 2024.
