Five Things To Do If You've Survived The Rapture

So, some rascal predicted the Rapture was coming today...and...you know he'll have some other scam ready to go tomorrow.

But if you are here, it's a great day to celebrate life in the Cruz.

1. Celebrate Staff of Life's 42nd Anniversary serving food to keep you healthy while you are still here on Earth. There will be samples, gourmet tastings, wine and music at the new store at 1266 Soquel Ave., from noon to 4:30 p.m.

2. Check out a new movie about bicycling called "With My Own Two Wheels," showing the power of cycling from the far corners of the world. It shows at Santa Cruz Yoga, 402 Ingalls St. at 8 p.m. Donations accepted. Cycling will help you live longer if you aren't already in heaven.

3. Celebrate the opening of the Beach Boardwalk with skydivers,  Cirque Polynesians and the Family Stone without Sly, who is already at the Rapture.

4. Get a Massage at Kiva Retreat House, 702 Water St. This isn't one of those cheapie massages, but a trip into deep relaxation and bliss for about $1 a minute. Your own private rapture. Call (831) 429-1142.
