Repeat after me – “The Boston Gold Kings are Defending Champions … The Boston Gold Kings are Defending Champions.” It’s an exercise I imagine most defending champions undertake. It’s a challenge winning it all, and even more so to repeat.
Live Well Watertown has an in-person event about the Blue Zones, places in the world where people live longest, as well as an online info session about bicycling in the winter. See more information provided by the City of Watertown, below.
James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net.

The Wayside Multi-Service Center momentarily saw one-third of its budget disappear, with the removal of a federal grant. While the grant was restored within days, Sophia Suarez-Friedman, Program Director for Wayside Multi-Service Center, said it was both a stark reminder and a heartening response.

I am guessing you are truly missing the extreme cold weather, so how about signing up to do a polar plunge at Arsenal Yards on Saturday? That will make you plenty cold again. It is a fund-raiser for the Special Olympics, and it should be almost as fun to watch as to actually take the plunge. After getting soaking wet there, you could head over to the library’s maker space to make a hand-sewn valentine sachet for your loved one. Our maker space is not all about high tech! Mount Auburn Cemetery is offering an introductory walk that afternoon as well. Why not learn something about the history of our community while getting in your steps? Finally, on Friday or Saturday night, go grab a $2 grilled cheese sandwich with some extraordinary chips at Ritcey East when you have the late night munchies. They are open until 11 on the weekend, which isn’t the norm in town, nor is their sandwich deal to be found anywhere else in the greater Boston area.
