The Solstice and Food & Wine kick off summer “Summertime and the livin’ is easy.” Or… is it? Summer in Aspen totally overwhelms me. It’s the best and the worst. As my great-grandmother used to say, “Damnit to hell,” there’s just too much going on. Forced choices...
Gemini new moon meets the Cancer summer solstice I’m so sick of modern astrology. Predictive astrologers drone on endlessly about this or that powerful (fill in the blank) alignment happening this week. “It’s gonna be gnarly. Buckle up, buttercup.” All doom and gloom,...
