Softball scrimmage!

[georgy.livejournal.com]

Weather.com has a preliminary forecast for Sunday of partly cloudy and 61 degrees. I think this may be a good day to try out a softball scrimmage, in which some folks expressed interest a couple of weeks back (and I will contact them directly, as well).

Tentatively, I'd like to try to organize this for this upcoming Sunday. I think the best place to play will be Trum Field, which is on Broadway between Magoun and Ball Squares (not too far of a walk from Davis). A good time sounds like 1PM.

On Friday, we can reassess the forecast and see if it still looks like a good day. I'll post a message on Sunday AM confirming Game On!

Personally, I have a bat, a ball and a glove. Feel free to bring equipment or just yourself!

Swimsuit season's coming up

Perhaps someone already asked this, but...

Where in the Somerville area has anyone gone to have things like waxing done?

This is not the sort of thing you want to randomly chance that the person doing the job has a heavy hand or a poor bedside manner. I don't know if all places that provide this service do Brazilian waxes by default, but recommendations for that would be good.

Looking for decent price as well as comfort in the whole process. Thanks for any suggestions.

No more towing?

I notice that, at least in my neighborhood (Wilson Square), cars left out for the street sweeper don't seem to get towed as often as before. In 2003 I got hauled two or three times before the sweepers hibernated for the winter; last year I probably goofed as many times, but got only a ticket when I did. Judging by the many ticketed but otherwise unmolested cars I can see outside my window this morning, it looks like the start of another such year here.

Is this just my neighborhood, or has the city become less tow-happy?
