Chris August got married two years ago this month, but he still sounds like a newlywed. The singer-songwriter, a three-time Dove Award winner, enjoys creating tunes that celebrate his marital relationship alongside more spiritually centered songs. h “When I sit down to write a song, I have no rules,” August says during a recent phone call. “I’d never do anything inappropriate, that’s for sure, but why would I not want to write a song for my wonderful wife? Why would I not want people to have songs that are appropriate for husbands and wives to dance to?” h A sample of August’s See AUGUST, Page 7D

How to write a love letter — and why Karina Bland Columnist Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

I keep mine in my underwear drawer, where women tend to keep important things. Baby teeth. Pressed flowers. A high school class ring. And love letters. The letters are as di“ erent as the men who gave them to me. His block handwriting in straight lines across pale blue paper. A few lines of slanted cursive over small water color paintings of sunsets on thick

cream-colored paper torn from an art pad. Tiny print covering all the available white space on the inside of Far Side greeting cards. A child’s scrawl on a piece of folded notebook paper: “I love you Mommy.” I went in search of them after signing up for “How to Write a Love Letter,” a workshop my friends Amy Silverman and Deborah Sussman were teaching at Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix. I wasn’t sure who I wanted to write to, but I was interested in learning how. I had tried before. It was hard to get started and when I did, my attempts had felt corny, more like a Hallmark card than real sentiment. I had ÿgured no one probably writes love

letters anymore, the art lost to emails and text messages with heart emojis in every color. I think people used to write love letters when they were apart, particularly in times of war when the future could seem uncertain. Now we can reach each other anytime, anywhere in an instant. But after rereading these letters in my underwear drawer all these years later, even the single sentence from my son when he was 4, I’m overwhelmed by the power of those words. I’ll learn later that isn’t just in my mind.

Bite-sized reviews: ‘Hand to God’ and more Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

I often say that my job as a theater critic is to say publicly what polite people reserve for the car ride home. So in that spirit, from the car ride home: “I liked the boobs on the girl puppet.” “Those weren’t real.” Here are this week’s theater reviews in a nutshell. Great eeeee Good eeee Fair eee Bad ee Bomb e

‘Hand to God’ eeee Comedies don’t come much darker than “Hand to God,” playwright Robert Askins’ 2015 Broadway hit about a Christian youth puppetry club that takes a turn for the blasphemous when its star character becomes possessed by the devil. The easily offended should avoid this co-production by Stray Cat Theatre (which is known for such edgy fare) and Phoenix Theatre (which, not so much, although that seems to be changing). Directed by Stray Cat founder Ron May, the show is both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply disturbing. It also features a cast that’s ÿve-for-ÿve in delivering stellar performances. Eric Zaklukiewicz (“Dog Sees God”) stars as Jason, a nerdy Texas teen who, reeling from the recent death of his father, has an unhealthy attachment to his Muppet-style alter ego, Tyrone (and the actor’s puppetry work is overthe-top hilarious). Only slightly less troubled are Jason’s mom (Elyse Wolf) and his desperately macho rival Timothy (Vaughn Sherman). As the lonely Pastor Greg, Louis Farber endearingly blends bellicosity and vulnerability, while Michelle Chin (“Hedwig and the Angry Inch”) brings a disarming sweetness to the role of Jessica, who at ÿrst seems a throwaway character but ends up playing a pivotal part in the plot.

Bottom line: With occasional shocking violence (not to mention the simulated puppet sex), “Hand to God” deftly crisscross the line between comedy and drama and serves up both satisfying surprises and a bracing dose of philosophical wisdom. Details: Reviewed Saturday, Feb. 25. Phoenix Theatre, 100 E. McDowell Road. Demand pricing. 602-25 4 -2151, phoenixtheatre.com.

‘It’s Only a Play’ eee1⁄2 Some of the Valley’s ÿnest theater artists poke fun at their own vocation in “It’s Only a Play,” a 1982 comedy by Terrance McNally (“Love! Valour! Compassion!”) that was updated in 2014 . It’s about an opening-night party after the premiere of a new Broadway drama, where the producer, director and stars anxiously await word of the overnight reviews. The characters are mostly stereotypes, and under the taut direction of Matthew Wiener, Phoenix Theatre’s talented cast plays the familiar tropes to the hilt. Debra K. Stevens is a coke-snorting movie star desperate for a comeback. Pasha Yamotahari is the pretentious playwright, who enters in an antique tux, black cape and white gloves. Toby Yatso sports a comically bad English accent and squirmy, over-the-top physicality as the enfant terrible director who doesn’t know why all the critics think he’s a genius. And speaking of critics, D. Scott Withers is deliciously oily as a failed playwright who exorcises his demons with a poisoned pen. Theater buffs will love the in-jokes, especially the parade of costumes from unseen party guests that the doorman (Tony Latham) lugs into the producer’s suite. (When he tosses a tiny jacket on the bed, he dryly explains, “Daniel Radcliffe.) Bottom line: “It’s Only a Play” has a thin plot a few surprises, but the who’s-who cast’s brisk comic timing makes for an amusing

sendup of the theater world. Details: Reviewed Friday, Jan. 26. Continues through Sunday, Feb. 11. Phoenix Theatre, 100 E. McDowell Road. Demand pricing. 602-254-2151, phoenixtheatre.com.

‘The Snowy Day’ eee Ezra Jack Keats’ 1962 picture book “The Snowy Day” was a milestone in children’s literature, helping to kick off the multiculturalism movement with a simple story about a young African-American boy exploring the wonders of winter in New York City. Tempe’s Childsplay troupe is presenting a 2016 stage adaptation by Jerome Hairston, aimed at kids as young as 3, that incorporates the author’s sequels: As Peter (Andre Johnson) grows older, we watch him learning to whistle, standing up to bullies and agonizing over inviting a girl to his birthday party. Directed by Katie McFadzen, the play employs music and charming shadow puppetry to hold young theatergoers’ attention. There are lovely moments, many involving Peter’s dog, a wooden dachshund on rollers. Because it is aimed at tiny tots, however, par-

ents might ÿnd themselves checking their watches, despite the 4 5-minute running time. The numerous song breaks — songlets, really, sometimes just a few seconds long – are annoyingly simple: Even Barney sings more sophisticated melodies. The play is just one example of Childsplay’s consistent commitment to diversity, but while Keats (who was white) was a pioneer, this play’s relevance to a multicultural audience in 2018 is questionable. Other than skin color, there is nothing about it that is speciÿc to an African-American experience. Also: How many 6-year-olds today have any idea what a “letter” and a “stamp” are? Bottom line: “The Snowy Day” presents relatable everyday situations to young children, but it doesn’t explore any issues that might have a lasting impact. Details: Reviewed Saturday, Feb. 3.

Phoenix Jewish Film Festival scheduled to begin today Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

The Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival has a new co-executive director, but the same values it’s always had. “Throughout the 22 years of the festival, the only theme is to continue our mission, to increase the sense of community and cohesiveness of among all Jews in the Valley of the Sun,” said Barry Singer, “to increase awareness of the variety and richness of Jewish culture among all residents of the Valley of the sun. The ÿlms we select, the events we support and the venues we utilize are all in the furtherance of that mission.” That also means putting the emphasis on movies, not a political slant. “As we select our ÿlms, we are always looking for a balance of countries, themes, drama, comedy, documentaries,” he said. “We value our independence and pride ourselves that we are a Jewish ÿlm festival, and not just an Israeli, or Holocaust or historical festival. We show ÿlms from all those genres, but always seek a mix.” The festival, which features 21 ÿlms, begins Sunday, Feb. 11 and runs for two weeks. Singer picked ÿve movies not to miss: “Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story” — Alexandra Dean’s much-lauded documentary tells the story of the movie star who was also a brilliant inventor, shattering stereotypes. “1945” — When two

When Nazis arrive, they must make their way to the Swiss border.

“An Act of Deÿance” — A lawyer must hide his ties to a resistance movement in apartheid-ruled South Africa in 1963 as he defends the group’s leaders — including Nelson Mandela. “Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel” — Daniel A.

‘Outside Mullingar’ a love letter to Irish town Arizona Theatre Company: ‘Outside Mullingar’

Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

When: Saturday, Feb. 17, through Sunday, March 4. Preview performances Thursday and Friday, Feb. 1516.

There’s no pithy elevator pitch for “Outside Mullingar,” playwright John Patrick Shanley’s love letter to his ancestral homeland in Ireland. It’s a quiet story about two farmers in the boonies, Anthony and Rosemary. She’s holding a torch, but he doesn’t have a clue. “What I’m drawn to, ÿrst of all, is his use of language,” says David Ivers, who is helming his ÿrst show for Arizona Theatre Company as its new artistic director. A Tony Award nominee for best play in 2014, “Outside Mullingar” opens at the Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix on Saturday, Feb. 17. “It has a timeless quality,” Ivers says. “It’s colloquial, but there’s a slightest bit of poetry to it without being ostentatious. ... It’s a masterful piece of writing.” With no topical controversy or sexy gimmick to serve as a hook, the play will have to depend on Shanley’s cachet for box-o“ce draw. Shanley won the Tony, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, for “Doubt: A Parable,” about a hard-nosed nun who harbors sinister suspicious about a charismatic young priest. He’s also an Oscar winner as the screenwriter of 1987’s “Moonstruck.” The Bronx-born writer spoke with us by phone from New York. Question: You’ve had some success in Hollywood. Film is where the money is. So what kept you in the theater? Answer: Well, it’s because theater is where the money isn’t. Where there’s a lot of money, there’s a lot of (expletive), there’s a lot of crooks, there’s a lot of deception, and there’s a lot of fear that they’re going to lose the money. People work in the theater because they love the theater. And theater is a place where the written word is allowed to soar, and you can explore the full topography of an idea, of an emotion, and give the actors their loose reins to go and show everything that they can do. I love the theater. There will always be a theater, because you don’t need any technology to do theater. You can do theater in your living room or against the wall of a building. Q: What was your inspiration for “Outside Mullingar”? A: I started to go back to Ireland with my father when he got older and was uncertain about driving. I spent a lot of time with my Irish family, who were both incredibly eloquent and very funny, and moving in the sense that they’d grown up in a very pastoral setting, literally shepherds, and had a point of view and a grounding in relationship to their humanity that I found deeply compelling. I deÿnitely felt more at home there than I have in the Bronx. My own personality and proclivities and tastes made more sense to me in Ireland than they did in America. I wrote this play as much to appreciate and keep alive what I had learned there and the delights that I had found there as anything else. Q: “Doubt” is set in the Bronx. Is it an equally personal play? A: One thing that I’ve said about “Doubt” is that’s the play that I wrote that I’m not in, which is true and

not true. I went to a school for eight years with the Sisters of Charity, who were pretty good teachers and pretty good to me. But they were dressed in Victorian clothing, and they were teaching the catechism and a world view that was very 19th century (at a time when) there were palpable earthquakes, tremors going on underneath every part of our society indicating that change was on the way. (But) I saw the value of the solidity of what they were presenting me with as a child. Sister Aloysius does contain a lot of attitudes that I have about everything from penmanship to moral character. And so even though she’s a hard-ass, I ÿnd myself agreeing with her more than not. Q: The play is a powerful statement about the need to question our own beliefs. A: I’m well aware that I’m wrong a lot, even about my memories, and I’m always astonished by other people seeming to lack this doubt. And at ÿrst they seemed to me to be stronger than me, through their conÿdence, and only with maturation did I come to think, “Yeah, that’s not strength. That’s running away from anything that’s unclear to you because it reveals to you your own deÿciencies.” And it takes a strong person to go like, “You know, I don’t know. Let’s talk about it. But we may never get to the bottom of it.” I’m interested in the way that “Doubt” would be received now because there’s a whole fresh set of reasons, having nothing to do with the church scandals but to do with the Me Too movement and other movements that are afoot right now, where again all sorts of received wisdom is being called into question, and you’re not supposed to doubt the veracity of the majority. Q: The Me Too movement is making is mark on the theater world, which is also in the middle of a difficult dialogue about inclusion of women and minorities. What’s your take on the state of theater in 2018? A: I think right now we’re in a very politicized atmosphere. There was a point in the ’60s where theater went through a very politicized atmosphere, which it needed to do. And now there’s a movement for inclusion of so many groups at the same time, AsianAmericans, Latinos, black people, (transgender peo-

ple), that it’s a little overwhelming. If you’re just an individual playwright, you can’t serve all those. You can only serve the very narrow band of things that you understand how to write. Clearly there’s going to be more women whose plays are getting produced than there were 10 years ago. And there’s going to be more black people onstage, there’s going to be more Latino people onstage, hopefully there’s going to be more Asian people onstage. But sometimes these things are — it all should happen right now, but, in fact, it just takes a long time to turn a big ship around. Q: A lot of critics have opined that television has overtaken movies as the creative center of gravity in pop culture. Are you a binge watcher? A: People are watching television on their iPads, so is it television anymore or is it yet a third thing? People are watching movies on their phones. All of that stu‘ is moving so fast that it’s very di“cult to get ahead of it and see where it’s all going. I can’t keep up anymore. Somebody says, “Oh, this is a great thing.” I might hear four of those a week, and each one of them is eight hours. I’m like, “When am I going to do that?” It’s overwhelming.

Dear Abby: We have some friends who take a couple of expensive extended vacations each year. They go to Europe and take cruises. For the last four years, they have never once booked ground transportation from home to the airport and back. Instead, they rely on friends to take them to the airport. They have plenty of money. They are just too cheap to pay for a shuttle, cab or limo. They never offer to put gas in the car or pay for the parking. It is a 45-minute drive in heavy traffic. They are getting ready for another trip. What should I say when asked? Please give me your thoughts on their behavior. – Unhappy About This In Georgia Dear Unhappy: These friends appear to be centered on themselves. Rather than fume about it, the next time you are asked to drive them to the airport, tell them you have a con“ict and are unavailable. Dear Abby: I am a 47-year-old professional man who loves children, but never had any of my own. Consequently, I have never had to contend with the considerable cost of raising children. Many of my friends are parents, and I feel the urge to buy their kids nice presents I know they want, or that I never received when I was a child, e.g., a wonderful bike or train set. What’s the protocol for giving an expensive gift (e.g., a saxophone that can cost $1,000) to nonrelated children without creating awkwardness or obligation? Naturally, I would always check with the parents ÿrst. (All of us are white-collar executives and employed, but no one is “ÿlthy rich.”) – Gift Giver In Oakland, Calif. Dear Gift Giver: The protocol is the one you are already observing, which is to have a conversation with the parents before buying expensive gifts for their children. And when you do, make clear that it is not your wish to cause awkwardness or a sense of obligation.

TELL ME ABOUT IT Dear Carolyn: My in-laws live out of state, and visit about once every six to eight weeks for long weekends. Before their most recent visit, my mother-in-law asked my husband to buy weed gummies for his sister, who is dealing with a chronic illness, because it is legal here. She plans to carry them with her on the plane back to their home state. My mother-in-law, when asking my husband to do this, said he didn’t have to tell me if he didn’t want to. My husband responded saying of course he was going to tell me. I ÿnd her suggestion that her son lie to his wife offensive and divisive. She has always been manipulative, and it has always put a strain on our relationship. I often get upset with things she says. I feel like this is an attack on my marriage and my family. We don’t keep secrets and I don’t want her to encourage our young children to keep secrets. Am I overreacting because of our history, or is this worth addressing? — Colorado It was an attack on your marriage that your husband cleanly and swiftly put to a stop. Yay! His simple rebu’ told your mother-in-law with two words — “of course” — that she’s the outlier in encouraging secrets, and it told both you and your mother-in-law that he has your back (not hers). Those both carry forward. It also says your husband is still being transparent with you about his conversations with his mom, which is arguably the most signiÿcant point. Nothing says more clearly that you are your husband’s priority.

HOROSCOPE Aries (March 21-April 19). You’ll contemplate a move that would totally change your lifestyle. Some people wouldn’t even consider this. Taurus (April 20-May 20). Friendship should not be relegated to a lower position than romantic love. Gemini (May 21-June 21). You’ll make friends wherever you go, so don’t worry about whether or not you have good company. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Much suffering in the world is caused by people wanting to change others to be more like them. Too much similarity among a group is not only unnecessary but also unhealthy. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). People get used to a base level of attention from you. That loving attention begins to just feel normal. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Get ahead of the competition by doing better work than any of the others on a consistent basis. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The physical world expresses itself through moving and through being. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t worry too much now about presenting yourself in a novel way. You don’t have to try to stand out. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21). To show small but unmistakable kindness to the one for which you currently feel only neutrality will change you – and the world — for the better, to a degree that’s totally disproportionate to the small gesture. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Quiet water acts as a mirror, whereas nothing can be reflected in rushing or disturbed water. The mind is the same way. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Such sayings as “mind your own business” and “to each his own” may feel rather common and small, but they are packed with a great deal of wisdom and power. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Yes, nice people are pleasant to hang around with, and they’re a lot less work. But people who aren’t nice have their merits, too. Today’s Birthday (Feb. 11). Compatibility is a puzzle, and the pieces will fall right in place for you this solar return. This will be as true in your professional life as it is in your personal life. You’ve simply a knack for being a part of winning teams. June brings a big improvement that will take a while to settle into. Leo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 22, 25 and 14.

John Waters talks on love, romance Garrett Mitchell Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Filmmaker John Waters, the ickiconoclast who has dazzled and grossed out enough midnight moviegoers to earn the title “Pope of Trash” will be in town to offer his insights on the pursuit of love just in time for Valentine’s Day. Waters, the director of cult classics such as “Hairspray” and “Serial Mom,” will share opinions on current events, romance and making trouble during his Feb. 13 appearance at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. “The only way you can ever get someone to change someone’s opinion is to make them laugh,” Waters told The Republic during a phone interview Thursday afternoon. “Pretty much no one ever gets mad at what I say, so, even though I say some things that are worse than I’ve ever said, people just laugh because I don’t think I’m mean. I’m just trying to understand everyone’s human behavior.”

to tell friends, co-workers, neighbors and family that she cares about them. What better way to do that than a love letter. “I believe that there is a lot of power to putting pen to paper — actual pen to paper,” she says. It’s possible to write a love letter in an email or a text, she says, but there is something about having it on paper, It feels more tangible. It can be held onto and treasured. She keeps her love letters in her underwear drawer, too.

Write a poem, make a list In a back room at the bookstore, a dozen of us — all women — sit around the table, with writing pads, mugs of coffee or glasses of wine, nibbling heart-shaped cookies with hard pink frosting. A love letter doesn’t have to be written to a lover, Amy explains. It could be for a sibling, or a child, or a friend. It could be to yourself. “Oh, wow,” someone says out loud. We are all here for different reasons. None of us knows how to start. Deborah reads aloud poems — Vera Pavlova’s “A Draft of a Marriage Contract,” Maggie Smith’s “Good Bones” — and we write haikus about the person we are thinking about writing to, something to loosen up. And then Amy tells us how, for her 40th birthday, her sister and her family wrote a list of 40 things about her. Aunt Amy is so good at Scrabble, we are afraid to play with her. Aunt Amy always has a good book to recommend. Aunt Amy loves Neil Diamond AND The New Pornographers. She wants us to try it, to just list 10 things we love about the person we want to write to. Deborah says making a list, one through 10, frees up a part of your brain to wander through your relationship with that person, bringing up things that we overlook when we think too hard about it. Some of the women read their lists out loud: She always shows up when I lock myself out. I love your photography skills; you always ÿnd my light and make me look good. I love that when I was little you made my dresses with shorts to match underneath. In those lists, we see how we could start our letters.

‘We are in this together’ For Sasha Howell, it was number three: I love how hard you are trying to be a morning person. She is a morning person; her husband

Dubbed “A Date With John Waters,” the adultsonly show featuring fresh material will answer the burning questions of fans of all ages. “The best thing that John can happen to me is as I Waters get older is my audience gets younger,” he said. “To me, that’s the ultimate compliment. Pretty soon, it’s gonna be kids who weren’t born when I made my last movie (2004 ’s ‘A Dirty Shame’), let alone my ÿrst!” Q: What is Valentine’s Day typically like for you? A: I’m actually celebrating it on tour, so I can’t be with the person who’s my valentine. These days I usually go out to dinner, but I used to go to the butcher and get an animal heart, cut it out, put it in a gift box and wrap it. They always seemed to appreciate that. It was kind of like “Snow White’s” queen when she had that box with some heart in it, remember? Q: What would you say is a good

pickup line these days? A: These days, you can’t say it. I’d be too terriÿed to give any pickup line to any person. A pickup line? God, well, I’m with somebody now so I haven’t picked anyone up in a while. I don’t know, you wanna come over and watch Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in “Boom!”? Q: It’s a ÿne line these days, the way we interact with others. What advice would you give to someone who wants to to tread lightly? A: Well, I think that you should tread lightly. I understand why women are pissed off. And people say, suppose you’re liable if someone’s wrong? I’d understand if (women would) say, “Too bad! After 100 years of us putting up with it, for one mistake to happen. It’s collateral damage!” You have to be very careful in the workplace. If this is going on in show business, imagine what’s going on perhaps at McDonald’s where no one has the mantle or position for anyone to care about it. Some of the stories — the details have become like reading porn.

Paul is not. Sasha had other things on her list. I love that you have such conÿdence and conviction. I love that you do everything wholeheartedly. I love how focused you are. But it was the things she noticed he was trying to do now that they’ve been together for 15 years, married for almost 10, and parents of a 17-month-old girl named Harper, that made her heart leap. I love how you are trying to load the dishwasher. The way she likes it loaded. I love how you are trying to wear something other than black. Harper likes bright colors. Deborah nodded. “What you are telling him is, ‘I see you. I see you making an effort, and I appreciate that,’” she says. There’s so much love in those efforts. When she writes, Sasha includes the things she’s trying to do. Listen more. Not offer instant solutions. Nag less. Laugh more. She wants to ÿnd time for the two of them. She is trying to connect. “We are in this together,” Sasha says. This is them, trying.

served for four years, quickly moving up the ranks to second lieutenant. Carol grew up in New York, the middle of three girls close in age. Her mother ran the house with military precision, as if the girls were her platoon. They got written orders for chores to be done by sundown. She doesn’t remember ever being cuddled. Now her mother is 95 years old and living on the East Coast. She is dying of cancer. Carol talks to her on the phone. At the end of each call, they say, “Love you” and “Love you, too.” “It feels a little fake,” she says. It is not something they said when she was growing up. But in her list she saw something. Not quite 10 things that she loves about her mother but nine. I love your dogged stubbornness. I love your determination to provide for our family. She remembers how her mother worked tirelessly in their massive vegetable garden. How she gave her girls home permanents at the same time every year, perched on a stool in the kitchen, one after the other, a picture of ‘o wers stuck to the refrigerator to give them something to look at. How she insisted the girls take piano lessons — and practice. How she pushed them to try new things. “I have respect now for that even though at the time...” Carol groans. She still plays piano. Carol will visit her mother next month. It likely will be the last time she sees her. It would be hard to say something like this in person; her mother might not let her ÿnish. So Carol wants to put this in the mail for Valentine’s Day. There’s no point in hashing out old hurts. It doesn’t matter now. She wants to tell her mother that she loves her. She wants it to ring true. They both will know if it doesn’t. Carol reads over her list, of the things she loves about her mother, things she hadn’t thought about for years. She feels a growing affection for her mother, and her pen ‘ies across her notepad.

Letters that are meant to be kept Deborah tells us not to stress out. Our love letters don’t have to be perfect, or elegant, or ‘o wery. “Knowing that someone sat down and thought about you, that someone sees you, that someone notices — it’s an incredible gift,” Deborah says. A love letter could be a list. Keep the things you love the most. Cross out others. “Think about what you want to say and what you want them to keep because these letters are meant to be kept,” Deborah says. Love letters can be intimidating because we try to encompass everything we love about the person, Amy says. So she tells us to look for a moment that re‘ects something bigger about the person. Deborah agrees, “You go for the part that stands in for the whole.”

Finding the one thing Carol Carpenter is not in the mood. She wants to write not to a romantic partner but to her mother with whom she has a di’cult relationship. “I can’t do this,” she thinks. But she starts to write a list because everyone else is, and we only have 10 minutes. Carol ÿnds that moment, the one that re‘ects something bigger about the person, in her list. “I love that you were an o“c er in the Marines during World War II,” she reads aloud but then her voice catches. This is hard. Carol’s mother joined in the ÿrst year of the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve. She

Love letters are good for you What Carol and the others are writing will be good for sender and recipient. It turns out I’m not just imagining how good it felt to reread those love letters in my underwear drawer. Kory Floyd is a professor of communication at the University of Arizona who studies relationships. His research shows expressing affection in writing is not only good for the receiver but also for the person who sent it. “There is something special about actually putting the feelings into words,” he told me. Words of affection offer health beneÿts

It is still OK to like sex and people act as though it’s almost politically incorrect to say that. Of course, I make fun of all politically correct movements even though I am politically correct. Q: What makes a fulÿlling relationship? A: Sex is a part of it... I think you have to make each other laugh, too.... but not laughing during sex! Those are the two most important things. Patience and not holding onto anger is tough. That, and be willing to handle endless neuroses and learn how to deal with them. It’s like another career. Q: When should someone should say, “I love you,” for the ÿr st time? A: Now, that’s a whole thing I’m gonna save for my show. I’ll give you the ultimate advice for that question. It’s when and how and if to say “I love you.” I ain’t giving that away. You have to pay to see that.

like a stronger immune system and lower stress, cholesterol and blood pressure. It’s not enough to feel affection, you have to express it. That can happen in many ways, all of which are good for you — a text to say “I miss you,” or holding hands, or doing a favor. In one study, Floyd found that writing a love letter lowered stress levels back to normal faster than simply thinking about a loved one, or writing in a journal, or even meditating. He says you get that beneÿt even if the receiver doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. You don’t even have to send it; you just have to write it.

Look for love and write about it Carol’s mother is not fussy or ‘o wery. She doesn’t want what she writes to be, either. So Carol writes about a time when her mother came to Arizona to visit. It must have been 1995 or 1996 and the family piled into the car to go to the State Fair. Her mother was in the back seat with her two children, Evie and Reilly. Her husband circled for some time looking for a parking spot before the attendant noticed and asked if anyone in the car was a veteran. Her mother’s hand had shot up through the open sunroof. “Yes, I am!” The attendant directed them to a frontrow parking space. Carol remember her mom puffed up like a peacock. Thinking back, Carol saw how proud her mother was of her service. “I love that you were an o“c er in the Marines during World War II. All the characteristics you possessed to succeed — things like brains, courage, physical stamina, a strong work ethic, a logical mind and common sense — also helped you run our household. “Watching you taught me to do many of those things in my own life.” Now she knows how to start. Later, at home, Carol would type up her letter, print it out, glue it inside a pretty blank card and put it in the mail before starting letters to her son and her daughter. Carol’s letter might not be what most of us would think of when we think about a love letter, particularly this time of year when the focus is on romantic love. But maybe this kind of letter could be good for all of us, senders and receivers, to express affection for the people in our lives, not just on Valentine’s Day but in March or June or September, at times when it’s hard. Because if you look for love, spill it out in a list on a sheet of notebook paper — a love letter for someone to read and save — you will ÿnd it.

“A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America” (Crown), by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong Despite its contradictory and confusing title, “A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America” by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong is an important piece of journalism – especially in an era where sexual assault and attacks on women have become increasingly publicized and politicized. It tells the heartbreaking story of Marie, an 18-year-old woman in suburban Seattle who reported being raped in her bed by a man with a knife. Somewhat shockingly given it was 2008, not 50 or even 20 years earlier, both authorities and even Marie’s most

recent foster mother, who held a master’s degree in mental health counseling, immediately doubted Marie’s story. At ÿrst, it seemed too reminiscent of the TV show “Law and Order.” The man had tied her up with shoelaces, taken photos and threatened to post them on the internet. And Marie didn’t act the way they expected her to act. Her announcement that she had been raped sounded “at and emotionless. Neither was Marie a reliable narrator of her own story. She’d grown up in at least 20 foster homes, had su‘ ered molestation as a child and had recently been prone to attention-seeking behavior. Terriÿed and perhaps seeking a way out, Marie said she’d invented the story. The relief among law enforcement authorities was immediate and palpable as they not only destroyed evidence and

ceased looking for an attacker, but also prosecuted Marie for lying. More than two years later, police in Colorado arrested a serial rapist and found pictures in his camera. Among them was a young woman named Marie bound with shoelaces in her Lynnwood, Washington, bedroom. Marie was 20 when police showed up at her door. “On March 18, they arrived – two years, seven months, and one week after Marie had been raped.” She was handed a check for $500, a refund of her court costs, and information about rape counseling. Miller and Armstrong make it clear that no statistics are known about how many women lie about being raped. But at least three other women in addition to Marie have been criminally prosecuted for it since the mid-1990s.

‘Force of Nature’ is compelling Oline H. Cogdill ASSOCIATED PRESS

“Force of Nature: a Novel” (Flatiron Books), by Jane Harper A team-building expedition into Australia’s bush land quickly evolves into a taut plot about survival – both in business and in personal life – as well as corporate intrigue, jealousy and family issues in Jane Harper’s compelling novel “Force of Nature.” Executives and assistants of Melbourne accounting ÿrm BaileyTennants go on a three-night retreat to the rugged Giralang Ranges. The men’s team returns ahead of schedule, but a search party has to be dispatched when the women’s team is six hours late. When the women do return, each one is injured. And one woman, Alice Russell,

is missing. Federal agents Aaron Falk and Carmen Cooper are sent to investigate Alice’s disappearance and assist the search team. Aaron and Carmen have a stake in ÿnding Alice. She’s key in uncovering an elaborate money-laundering scheme that began with the founder of the ÿrm and has been continued by his children, brother and sister Daniel and Jill Bailey who are now BaileyTennants executives and are on the retreat. The agents soon learn that Alice wasn’t just an inside source for them, she was one of the ÿrm’s most disliked members. Alice was cruel and insensitive to others, from the assistant she bullied to a long-time acquaintance who was more enemy than friend. Lost in the bush land with food and water

dwindling, every personal and professional slight is magniÿed. Adding to the tension, this part of the wild was once the killing ground for a serial murderer whose son is rumored to share his father’s proclivities. Harper continues the intense plotting and detail for characters and setting that she established in “The Dry,” which introduced Aaron. While “Force of Nature” depends heavily on police procedures, Harper keeps the focus more on her characters’ motivations, skillfully alternating between the search and what happened on each day of the retreat.

Winfrey picks ‘American Marriage’ for club Hillel Italie ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Tayari Jones, whose novel “An American Marriage” has been chosen for Oprah Winfrey’s book club, will always remember that phone call from last October. She was driving in Las Vegas, expecting to hear from books editor Leigh Haber of Winfrey’s magazine, “O,” for which Jones has written reviews. “But instead of Leigh’s voice coming through the sound system of my car, it was Oprah’s,” Jones, 47, told The Associated Press during a recent interview. “I would have known that voice anywhere. And I just pulled over, in a notso-great part of town. And people were tapping on my windows, and I was like, ‘Go away, I’m trying to have the biggest moment of my life.’ ” Winfrey’s magazine and OWN network told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Winfrey had selected Jones’ story of a young, newly married African-American couple and the hus-

band’s shocking arrest and prison term – for a crime no one he knows believes he committed – that upends their lives. Winfrey’s production company, Harpo Films, is planning an adaptation. Published Tuesday, the book was already one of the year’s most anticipated novels and had reached the top 1,000 on Amazon.com before Winfrey’s announcement. “An American Marriage” includes blurbs from Michael Chabon and Edwidge Danticat and was praised by The Washington Post as a compelling story that raises “punishing questions” and spins them “with tender patience.” In a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press, Winfrey said Jones’ novel made her respond in a similar way to other works she has picked for her club: She just had to tell others about it. “I just get such a deep pleasure from the written word and ÿnding out that other people feel the same way,” said Winfrey. “It’s kind of like sharing values. It’s like saying here’s an experience that I value and you’re trying to get

somebody to also appreciate it.” “An American Marriage” took several years to complete. While on a research fellowship at Harvard University, Jones knew that she wanted to write about the criminal justice system, but only had a concept. She needed real people for inspiration. During a visit to her native Atlanta, she overheard a couple arguing. “And the woman said, ‘You know you wouldn’t have waited for ME for seven years,’” Jones recalled. “And the man shot back, ‘This wouldn’t have happened to you in the ÿrst place.’ And I thought, ‘He’s right and she’s also right.’ And that’s when I knew I had a novel, when I had a con“ict between two people and both of them are right.” Winfrey, too, was drawn to how “An American Marriage” attached lives to an issue distant for most people.

engaging diversity can be found on “Everything After,”a ÿve-song EP that has sparked his current tour (he’s in the Phoenix area Feb. 17 and 18). The disc includes the loping, playfully sensual “Stranger:” “When I’m excited/I don’t hide it,” he croons in a creamy R&B tenor. Then you get something like “Never Stop Loving You,” a bluesy declaration of faith. “I’m a sinner but I sing like a saint/I’m not as holy as the picture I paint,” he sings with a sly wink. Making the EP, which is available at his gigs before its o“cial release, “gave me time to sit back and think about what sound I was really going for,” the 35-year-old says. “I love Stevie Wonder. John Mayer is one of my favorites. I was just going to write songs with no motives, and each one is so di‘ erent from the other. Some are Christian-based, some are love-song based, but they’re all life-based in general.” It seems perfectly natural that August’s music blends elements of the secular and the sacred. In his 20s, he worked in Los Angeles in the mainstream music industry. Joe Simpson managed him for a time. He toured as a member of Ashlee Simpson’s band and did musical arrangements for Jessica Simpson (sorry, gossip mongers; his memories of the clan are good ones). Despite scoring a record deal with Ge‘ en, August returned home to Texas after three years. He continued to write and record on his own without pursuing another record deal. Then “Starry Night,” a gorgeous, stirring anthem about his dedication to Christ, grabbed the attention of Word Records. The single topped the Christian Songs chart in Billboard and helped him nab the Male Vocalist of the Year and Best New Artist trophies at the Dove Awards in 2011, while his “No Far Away” took home the

He’s even released a couple of comic singles in “The Discount Song” and “Candy Wrap.” The former is about his fondness for bargains; the latter is about his love for, well, candy. Sometimes, their whimsical intentions are misconstrued by listeners. “My whole life, I was the class clown in school,” he says. “I’ve always had this thing to want to make people laugh. There are times in my life where I’ll work on jokes as much as I do music. I grew up listening to Steve Martin. I love laughing. I love having joy. I think sometimes people get upset if they hear that every other word out of a Christian artist’s mouth isn’t ‘hallelujah.’ ” One time, he performed “Candy Wrap” in concert and an audience mem-

Pop Album prize. Most of his best work is remarkably personal. For example, “7x70” is a nakedly honest confessional about forgiveness inspired by his parents’ divorce — “I lost count of the ways you let me down/But no matter how many times you weren’t around, I’m all right now” go the lyrics. In concert, he’ll discuss the stories behind the songs and speak about such topics as battling depression and overcoming a dependence on prescription drugs. Opening your heart “might be a little awkward at ÿrst, then you get used to it,” he says. “The thing that surprised me was it can be emotionally draining after a show, because there are so many heavy things to talk about. I go through something somewhat major, and then so many people come up to me afterward and say, ‘That’s exactly what I’m going through.’ It’s easy to think we’re in this far-o‘ place by ourselves, but really fast I saw that a lot of us are dealing with the same things. It’s pretty cool to see that.”

ber approached him afterward, scolding: “Some people have sugar addictions!” “I know!” August replied. “I have one!” “Some people just take life way too seriously,” he says.

‘Awesome music’ With his charisma, wide-ranging talent and experience in the mainstream musical scene, it seems logical that August would think about reaching wider audiences — the hook-heavy 2012 hit “Center of It” probably could have exploded at Top 40 radio if it had gotten a push from a secular label. Still, he says he doesn’t overthink such things. “I don’t want to worry about radio chasing,” he says. “I don’t want to chase anything except awesome music. I want to do the best I can, go to places I love. The moment you get to share the music and hear people’s stories: That’s my fa-

vorite thing.” Well, probably his second favorite thing after spending time with his wife, Katelin. “It’s deÿnitely really awesome when she gets on the road with me,” he says. “It’s really not awesome when she doesn’t. When I’m gone for two weeks, I miss her.” In recent months, he’s stopped wearing the gauge-style earrings that were one of his visual trademarks. He’s asked if that’s her in’uence. “No, she wants me to wear them,” he says, laughing. “I don’t know why I stopped. I took them o‘ one day. I’m not a fashion guy at all. I got those in 2010; then it was seven years later and I’m like, ‘Wait: I still have these in my ears?’ I don’t spend a lot of time analyzing my fashion.” So how big he did stretch his ears before taking them out? He pauses before answering. “Well, I’ll be honest: They’re regular piercings but the earrings just looked like gauges. Let’s be real: I’m kind of a poser. I think stretching my ears would hurt.” Reach the reporter at randy.cordo va@arizonarepublic.com or 602-4 4 4 8849. Twitter.com/randy_cordova.

For travelers, the new year opens up a whole new world of places to go and things to do. Here are a few notable openings and events scheduled for 2018 around the U.S.

Notable in the new year The Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania is scheduled to open the Tower of Voices in September. The structure will be part of the commemoration of the United Airlines plane that crashed on Sept. 11, 2001. It will rise 93 feet and will feature 40 chimes, a symbolic representation of the 4 0 passengers and crew who perished in the crash of Flight 93.

Bahri and the Luxor and Karnak temples within the city are amazing. Visiting the tombs that are open to the public in the Valleys of the Kings and the Queens is also memorable. An optional early morning balloon ride over the West Valley and Luxor was serene and we will never forget it. Our guide, Tarek Morsi, was outstanding and showed us many things we hadn’t seen on the ÿrst tour. For anyone with a love of history and learning this trip with Odysseys Unlimited is the trip of a lifetime. Details: www.odysseys-unlimited.com. The writers live in Sun Lakes.

Carol and Tom Hoepner Special for The Republic

Last March we returned to Cairo exactly 15 years to the day after our arrival in Egypt for our ÿrst tour. We were part of a small group traveling with Odysseys Unlimited and found that travel can be even better the second time around. As tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy, tour groups from the United States are accompanied by a representative of the Egyptian Army or the police departments of major cities. We were very secure the whole time. Future visitors will be able to experience the incredible antiquities of ancient Egypt in a huge new museum near the pyramids in Giza. We had to settle for viewing those artifacts in the old museum where they are crowded together. We were able to see the new museum from our bus and envy future visitors the experience of visiting there. Although most people associate tourism in Egypt with the Great Pyramids, the truly impressive sites are in upper Egypt. Our tour included four days on a ship on Lake Nasser visiting sites in Nubia that could only be reached from the water. We had visited the spectacular temples at Abu Simbel on our previous trip. This time we also visited the temples of Kalabsha, Dakka, Meharakka and Amada. Kalabsha is the largest freestanding Nubian temple. Like Abu Simbel, these temples were moved from the Nile River valley to the tops of surrounding cli“ s to be saved when Lake Nasser

was created. In Aswan we visited the Temple of Philae, built by the Ptolemaic rulers. This is less ancient than the temples on Lake Nasser. Our guide showed us an area of the temple which had served as an early Christian church. We visited the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu on our riverboat ride from Aswan to Luxor. In our opinion, Luxor is the most interesting location in Egypt. The beautiful temple of Pharaoh Hatshepsut at Dier el

In Seattle, the Space Needle completes its renovation in the spring. New features include a multilevel, floor-to-ceiling glass viewing experience, open-air outdoor observation deck and glass benches designed to make visitors feel that they’re floating on air. Two observation levels will be connected by a steel-andwood staircase with glass oculus. The see-through glass rotating floor of the observation deck and lounge will open up a new view looking down.

Events, destinations and outdoors This year marks the 175th anniversary of the Oregon Trail. Take a forest hike in the wheel ruts of wagons that carried settlers westward, visit a living heritage museum like the Philip Foster Farm or learn more about the trail’s history at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Washington, D.C.’s, National Cherry Blossom Festival, March 20-April 15, will be hosted in a new neighborhood, The Wharf, a 24-acre development along the Potomac River with three hotels, 20 restaurants, four piers, a water taxi with service to Georgetown and an electric “jitney” boat that will shuttle visitors from The Wharf to the park behind the Je“ erson Memorial and Tidal Basin. On April 7, there will be a “Petalpalooza” festival with pink ÿreworks. Motorcycle fans will want to be in Milwaukee for Harley-Davidson’s 115th anniversary hometown bash Labor Day Weekend, Aug. 29-Sept. 2, including a parade. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Sawmill Market is expected to open this year, serving as the hub of the new Sawmill District neighborhood, north of Historic Old Town. The former industrial area will be a destination for art, entertainment, food and shopping, with a food hall and more at the Sawmill Market. Meanwhile, a 50-mile activity loop recently opened in Albuquerque, connecting bike paths through destinations from the Sandia Mountains to the Bosque trail along the Rio Grande. Stargazers will want to plan trips to central Idaho, which has just been designated as home to North America’s ÿrst Dark Sky Preserve. The preserve includes Sun Valley, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and wilderness areas.

Museums and other openings In Indianapolis, the Children’s Museum opens the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience on March 17, with 12 outside sports experiences and three indoor exhibits devoted to physical ÿtness and sports history.

In Richmond, Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University will open the Institute for Contemporary Art in April. In Montgomery, Alabama, a new museum dedicated to slavery and its legacy is scheduled to open in April. The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration is a project of the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonproÿt that provides legal representation to indigent prisoners, those who may have been wrongly convicted and defendants in Alabama death penalty cases. The Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Maryland, is expanding, opening a new museum building by the end of the year along with additional acres for outdoor sculpture. In St. Louis, the Gateway Arch Grounds and Museum opens July 4 with biking and running trails, space for outdoor concerts and indoor events and the new Je“ erson Memorial Expansion Museum commemorating the westward expansion of the United States. In New York City, Spyscape, a museum experience about the world of hacking, espionage, code-breakers and investigative journalism, opens in late January.

In addition to the usual theme park attraction openings — including Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World — a new water sports park is expected in Orlando this summer. Nona Adventure Park will feature an inflatable, floating obstacle course, wakeboarders pulled along by cables and a 60-foot climbing tower with a ropes course. A new private train line, Brightline, launched introductory service between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale the second week of January. Miami is getting its ÿrst Italian food hall, La Centrale, at Brickell City Center, as well as a TimeOut Market with dining, bars and art on Drexel Avenue. The Institute of Contemporary Art just opened in a new home in Miami’s Design District.

New Orleans marks tricentennial with events all year Beth J. Harpaz ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Big Easy is celebrating a big birthday this year: 300 years since New Orleans was founded. The celebration began New Year’s Eve with a massive ÿreworks show over the Mississippi River. Exhibitions, festivals and events planned throughout 2018 – including Mardi Gras – will re“ect the tricentennial theme. The city’s three centuries of history include “colonization by both France and Spain, a British invasion, devastating ÿres, pirates, yellow fever and hurricanes, among other challenges,” said Kristian Sonnier, spokesman for the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau. Through it all, New Orleans managed to hold on to what Sonnier calls “authentic traditions and a sense of place” – attributes that have made the

city one of the most interesting destinations in the U.S. New Orleans was founded by the French Mississippi Company in the spring of 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, then taken over by the Spanish in 1763. The U.S. acquired it as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Catholic faith and traditions have played a role in New Orleans’ culture since Feb. 9, 1718, when a priest planted a cross on the site where the St. Louis Cathedral now stands. An exhibition called “The Church in the Crescent: 300 Years of Catholicism in New Orleans,” on display at the Old Ursuline Convent Museum explores the city’s Catholic history. Artifacts related to the city’s early decades and earliest inhabitants, including Native Americans, European settlers and enslaved Africans, will be

displayed at The Historic New Orleans Collection for a show called “New Orleans, the Founding Era,” opening Feb. 27. The New Orleans Museum of Art’s “Changing Course: Re“ections on New Orleans Histories” marks the tricentennial with seven contemporary art projects that the museum says “focus on forgotten or marginalized histories of the city,” opening June 21. Then, beginning Oct. 26, the museum will showcase works by Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt and others from the Duke of Orleans’ collection in a show that runs through early 2019. Annual festivals incorporating the

tricentennial theme include the French Quarter Festival, featuring every genre of music from gospel to jazz to cajun and zydeco, April 12-15; New Orleans Jazz Fest, April 27-May 6, and Essence Festival, with a lineup this year that includes Mary J. Blige and Erykah Badu, July 6-8. An event that’s already under way, Prospect.4, is a citywide art exhibition, through Feb. 25, with 16 displays around town by dozens of artists including Louis Armstrong, Yoko Ono and Kara Walker. Art projects coinciding with Prospect.4 or the tricentennial include a mural by Banksy on display at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Driving to Vegas? Beware new higher parking fees Dawn Gilbertson Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

MGM Resorts has raised its parking fees again. The chain of 12 casino hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, from Mandalay Bay on the south end to Circus Circus on the north, raised valet and self-parking rates this week. The increase is the second in as many years for the chain, which started a trend when it began charging guests and visitors to park in 2016. Hefty parking fees have long been charged by bigcity hotels but free parking, including valet service, was the norm in Las Vegas until then. Overnight valet parking at MGM’s luxury hotels — Bellagio, Aria and Vdara — is now $30 a night, up from $25. Valet parking at those hotels formerly started at $18 a night, so the fee has gone up 67 percent in two years. The valet rate for mid-priced hotels including MGM Grand, Mirage and Mandalay Bay is now $24 for overnight guests, up from $20. Self-parking for overnight guests went from $12 to $15 per day.

Parking fees vary by hotel, the type of parking and how many hours your car is there. Hotel guests pay the fee just once per 24 hours regardless of how many MGM properties they visit. For example, if you pay for self-parking at New YorkNew York, you get self-parking at any MGM hotel during that period. Ditto for valet parking.

MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Monte Carlo (soon to be renamed The Park at MGM) and New York-New York: $9-$15 for self-parking; $16-$24 for valet parking. Delano Las Vegas: No self-parking; $16-$24 for valet parking. Vdara Hotel & Spa: No self-parking; $21-$30 for valet parking. Aria, Bellagio: $9-$18 for self-parking; $21-$30 for valet parking. In addition to parking fees, Las Vegas travelers must budget for hefty resort fees. Most major hotels charge at least $25 a night plus tax. Bellagio’s
