"ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE"

"YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH "  1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)  3. Add 5  4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator. 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1760 .. If you haven't, add 1759. 6.  Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number . The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

Photo courtesy San Luis Obispo Chamber While California’s Central Coast is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, you may be surprised to learn that the vast majority of Californians are unfamiliar with its existence. Though it sits midway between two of the world’s most populous and influential cities—it’s three hours north of Los Angeles and two hours south of San Francisco—most Golden Staters would have a tough time pointing to Big Sur on a map. Truth be told, this empty quarter of California is considered flyover country by its busy commuters. While it’s home to historic missions, a handful of little farming towns, and plenty of vineyards, the closest thing to a cultural hub is San Luis Obispo, population 44,000. San Luis Obispo rarely makes national headline...
