Dog Walking
Dogsare a traveling species, and as such a daily walk with your canine is important for maintaining his or her well-being-and yours. To help in that endeavor, Mountaineers Books recently published Best Hikes with Dogs: Southern California, by Allen Riedel, which offers myriad treks for you and your pooch to explore-from the Central Coast to San Diego.

Pulped Fiction
You’ve seen the ad, now see the movie. From the kitschy look of its ad campaign-with nubile wild girl Christina Ricci in chains under the apparent control of the scruffily dressed Samuel L. Jackson-Black Snake Moan looks as if it’s a new spin on, or possibly a parody of, the exploitive films once found on the drive-in circuit.
Hot Date, Cold Pitch
Chassy has nothing but good news to report about her recent date with The Biker. But that doesn’t mean she’s not up for a weekend experimenting with the Los Angeles dating scene. How should Chassy best approach the men of Southern California?
Health and Wellness
Fours days into his new job as the county’s new interim mental health czar, Doug Barton found himself putting out some significant fires.
Plugging in Poetry
In a nearby 11th-grade English classroom, a flowchart lists the supporters of Poetry Out Loud’s (POL) National Recitation Contest. It starts with the Poetry Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, then moves down to the California Arts Council, the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission, the South Coast Writing Project, Santa Barbara Poets in the Schools, the Santa Barbara High School District, and generous donors, such as Chaucer’s Bookstore.
A Seductive Dream
A Masked Ball, presented by Opera Santa Barbara. At the Lobero Theatre, Saturday, March 3.
In decorous rows and wearing elaborate masks, fine men and ladies of Boston high society danced across the stage, singing, “Life is a seductive dream,” as Verdi’s A Masked Ball reached its bloody climax.
