Valentine’s Day combines pagan and Christian elements

Well, it could be merely a coincidence, but the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose has chosen Feb. 15 for its annual Wedding Anniversary Celebration. San Jose's St. Joseph Cathedral Basilica (880 S. Market St.) will host a special Mass for all couples observing their fifth (or less), 25th, 40th and 50th (or more) years of marriage. Couples will renew wedding vows, receive a blessing from Bishop Patrick McGrath, get a certificate marking the occasion and enjoy a reception afterward. All of this occurs on the day after Valentine's Day.

Curing summer boredom

I don’t know who invented the phrase “summer vacation” but that person was clearly not a parent. There is no vacation when the kids are out of school. Oh sure, you might take a vacation—but let’s be honest. A trip to the woods to go camping with three small children and a large dog isn’t a vacation. It’s traveling to hell in a Suburban. Without running water or an actual bed.

Summer Wine Events

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, prompted my husband and I to abandon San Jose and move to Gilroy. With approximately 50 wineries between Morgan Hill and Hollister, the dizzying array of music, wine and food events throughout the summer—many of them free or at very low-cost—offers something for nearly everyone.
