Exercise for health: you know you have to

Sonoma County is a lousy place to live for people looking for excuses to not eat well or stay physically active. That’s because fresh, tasty and wholesome foods are grown and produced here year-round and the area’s natural beauty, open spaces, trails and walkable neighborhoods are daily invitations to get in motion.

Bike to Work Day cycles through Joe Rodota Trail rain or shine

Cyclists around Sonoma County skipped their car rides and hopped on their bikes, despite drizzly gray weather in honor of Bike to Work Day on Thursday, May 12. In Sebastopol, the Joe Rodota Trail served as the main route to and from Santa Rosa, where many cyclists headed to their destinations.

Happy Holidays to everyone! This time of year is when we hold our loved ones a little closer in our hearts and minds. If we are so blessed, we sit by fires, sip hot cocoa, and visit with family and friends as we prepare our holiday meal.

Disney’s “Frozen”

The Disney animators seem to have gotten their “groove” back with “Frozen,” and the result is an enjoyable holiday film that actually deserves to be labeled a “classic.” The studio expands its Princesses’ franchise with two royals—a Scandinavian blonde named Elsa (voice of Broadway’s Idina Menzel) and her younger, redheaded sister Anna (voice of Kristen Bell). When Elsa’s magical ice-powers go awry (by creating an indoor blizzard and accidentally freezing her sister’s head), the two girls are forced by their parents to grow up separately to keep Anna safe from any other magical mishaps.
