Have the tragedies and comedies of everyday life kept you asking, "Vacation home, vacation home, wherefore art my vacation home?" Whether Montague or Capulet, any pair is sure to find pleasure in a romantic rendezvous at Geneva's Bragdon House Bed & Breakfast.
Awake as light beyond the window breaks in your cozy Victorian room, equipped with plush linens, antique furniture, a decorative fireplace, and breathtaking views of Seneca Lake. Any serious foodie would deny his father and refuse his name for one taste of the inn's full breakfast of fresh-roasted coffee, seasonal fruit, and homemade pastries.
Don't be alarmed by your partner's food coma—instead, curl up with a book on one of the parlor's overstuffed chairs for a morning breather. And in the afternoon, you'll want to lounge with your lover—star-crossed or otherwise—in the cozy sitting area or on the house's airy veranda when the weather is warm.
In fair Geneva, where we lay our scene, you'll find plenty to occupy your attention when you're not retreating to your room. This sleepy town set along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail affords sommeliers some serious swirling, with tastings at nearby wineries—including Herman J. Wiemer Vineyard, Ventosa Vineyards, Billsboro Winery, Fox Run Vineyards, and White Springs Winery—in fact, the B&B's company, The Wine Stopper, offers its own tours.
You have not seen such great beauty until you take off on a boat tour of Seneca Lake with Canal Side Experiences or stroll past the row houses and mansions along South Main Street while you frequent the local restaurants and shops.
Visit in the summer and you'll want to stop by the Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion, where you can call the blooming roses by whatever name you please as you wander the 50-acre estate bedecked with nine formal gardens.
Parting from this grand getaway will inevitably be sweet sorrow, but be grateful for the brief relief. For never was a story of more woe than of the couple that stayed home and didn't go.
"The home is beautiful! Diana and Jen are wonderful hosts! Delicious breakfasts! We booked the wine tour with Jen, who is very knowledgeable about the area. It was a six-hour wine tour around Seneca Lake. I highly recommend it!"-- TripAdvisor

A Gourmet Foray into Central Coast Spoils
Emily's House • Paso Robles, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two—Any Days of the Week—with a Tasting Tour of Local Olive Oils, Olives, Cheeses, Wine, Beer, and Apple Cider with Other Inn Guests
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two, Any Days of the Week, with Dinner for Two and a Bottle of Wine with Other Inn Guests
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
Napa, Sonoma—the grapes up north get all the press. Head a little farther south, however, and you'll discover an equally bountiful wine region on the Central Coast. Known not only for its grapes, which were introduced to the region in 1797, but also for its fruit orchards and thermal hot springs, San Luis Obispo County is the unsung sweet spot of California wine countries.
Give it a swirl at Emily's House, a farmhouse-style B&B in Downtown Paso Robles that affords visitors easy access to more than 200 area wineries and tasting rooms. Though reminiscent of decades past, the house is appointed with a light-filled gourmet kitchen, custom finishes, and vintage accents. Rooms, in addition to plush featherbeds, feature beautiful views, period antiques, and pastoral artwork.
"You needn't be an oenophile to appreciate the rolling hills, towering golden oaks, white fences enclosing quarter horses, and skies patrolled by red-tailed hawks," says The New York Times. "Downtown Paso Robles, with its square, bandstand, shops, restaurants, and ten-screen Mission-style movie theater, makes a good base for a leisurely weekend of exploration."
When you aren't indulging in a tasting tour of local olive oils, olives, cheeses, wine, beer, and apple cider, check out the town's natural hot springs, specialty boutiques, and charming architecture, which ranges from adobe to high Victorian. Four local golf courses and the nearby City Park also promise to keep you in high spirits.
When night falls, top off your day by treating yourself to dinner at Tenth Street Basque Cafe. You can sit on the patio, delighting in Spanish fare like chicken and sausage paella or fresh-baked bread with olive tapenade.
Arriving in downtown Paso Robles is like stepping onto a movie set. ... It's worth taking a leisurely stroll around the square before heading out into the rolling vineyards for an afternoon of wine tasting."-- Frommer's

Before "The Voice" Song of the Day
There's so much talent on The Voice this year, I've decided to feature pre-show music released by contestants in this spot. Like the tune? You can find it on iTunes. I apologize for yesterday's hurricane interrupted absense of a song of the day. Things got a bit frantic in the newsroom. Anyway, today I'll feature a song by Terry McDermott, the rock singer who formerly fronted Drive Blind, but more recently performed with Lotus Crush. This song -- "Black Hole Heart" -- is from an album the band released in March 2011. For more on Terry, go here.

Can someone explain to me why so many US citizens carry weapons ? Why is it allowed to carry or own weapons ? Here in Europe, considered by some US top politicians as being an "old continent", we are still able to live together without having a pistol in our back pocket. Why is this not achievable in the US ?

But to judge is to be judged always remember this ur sins will find you out,none of yall are perfect and all have sinned. It was there time and no one could have stopped it. This world yall live on has been doomed sense jesus died on the cross and it isnt getting any better. Time for yall to wake up.

Hi I just would like to add, when God made you and I, he made us for doing his will, his prepuce, "God didn't make anything that didn't have a prepuce". (By Robby Duken) Now we all know that the enemy tries to mess with Gods plan for us, so I believe that this was the work of Satan though Adam Lanza.

No one in this world is perfect,doesn't matter what race you are! We all have done something wrong. What this young man did was UNACCEPTABLE! And in a town of roughly 30000 people is bizarre it could happen anywhere! Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. To those who survived you all are VERY VERY VERY BRAVE! And thank you to the ones whom you brave ones saved!

Fearful Mom
Posted at 11:29 AM on December 15, 2012
Because the crazy man shoulda been locked up. Without access to any weapons. Damn, we cannot get any easy answers to that question,sadly enough, Kitty. We can only hope and pray for the family's and friends of each of the victims. :(
I am a firm believer in locking mentally ill people in insane asylums and keeping them there. Safety for us sane and reasonable people. He had exhibited signs of mental illness for years and was allowed to have his freedome. Now, close to 30 lives are gone. This is what happenes when crazy people are allowed to roam freely. We sane people have to live with the fear that we may be next.
I wonder if people ever remember Columbine ? I do. I am now afraid to send my kids to school. And we,too, live in a small town. :(
Posted at 9:13 PM on December 15, 2012
Wow I understand why you are afraid, its a scary world where you dont feel safe doing common things going to school movies etc. But to say all mentally ill people should be locked up you've obviously never had a loved one who is mentally ill. Stigma and ignorance will not solve the problem just lock them up and throw away the key. USA has the highest gun crime shootings in any country not because of mentall illness because of guns.
I am saddened as well about this God bless all the families affected by this!!!!

Have no fear mom. Your school district probably forces kids onto meds. The same kind that Klebold and Harris and Matthew Murray were on. Who determines a standard of sane and reasonable. Fearful moms might be dragged off to asylums. A lot of abused kids wound up in those facilities, all doped up on Thorazine, Electo-convulsive shock treatments applied, and veterans were even dosed with odd things like Plutonium, alcoholics with LSD or other experimental substances. . So, Mom, just how long is it that you have been experiencing the fearfulness? Hmmmnnn?
