Where's a good place for sports supplies, esp. shoes

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

I'm looking to augment my home exercise equipment, and also to replace my workout shoes. I've been to City Sports in Porter, but their prices seem kinda inflated. Does anyone have any suggestions? Since I'm buying shoes, I want to make sure that it's a place where I can get fitted correctly. I'd prefer some place local to Davis, but can T somewhere if that's the best option.

Music lesson recommendations

I am thinking about learning how to play the drums, or if that proves unfeasible, re-learning the piano. Any recommendations for instructors who are local to Cambridge/Somerville/Medford?

brief power outage

We just had the second of two power outages so far this evening. Each lasted at most a few minutes and seemed to be a clean power off / power on (no greyouting that I could tell). It seems somewhat odd, occurring on the nicest day (or at least close runner-up) yet this year.

Has anyone else experienced these blips? Any idea of the cause?
