A sea change is underway in the medical field. The Healdsburg Medical Plaza, a group of offices that share a medical campus with Alliance Medical Center and Healdsburg District Hospital, got permission from the city last week to change its zoning to allow non-medical office uses.

August is both an exciting and difficult month for me, balancing the market with producing a big festival: the Bodega Seafood, Art & Wine Festival. I’m not writing about the festival in this column: if you’re curious check out our website. It’s a wonderful event happening the last weekend of this month.

It’s another work week here at the newspaper, and then next week we will work some more. For almost all of us, our lives get defined by the kind of work we do. When we have steady jobs our daily habits, travel patterns, alarm clocks, meal times and relaxing moments are all fit in around what we do to get paid.
