Manolos Shoe Blog: Shoes, Fashion, Celebrity, and Manolo Yep, an item about a tall fashionable boot for the girls of the wide calves. A quick check: 13 1/2 inches circumference. Dude, we cankle around on 18-inchers around here; no amount of stretch is gonna stretch. I'm off to check out a commenter's lead on Duo Boots.

Toddlers Temper Ousts Family From Plane | Chicago Tribune ATA airlines removed a screaming toddler and her parents before a recent Florida flight because she was having a complete and total meltdown. Rather than take her seat, she crawled under it, hitting and screaming when parents and flight crew attempted to get her out. No word on whether the other passengers booed or cheered.

I missed my session with the personal trainer at the workplace healthclub this morning! For some reason, even though it was on my online calendar, I had it in my head that it was an evening appointment, not a morning one. Well, crap. I emailed my apologies to my trainer, Natalie. She’s a good kid. Very young, very small, very eager to get several women fit. Each one of us nearly twice her size. Most of the others in my group missed the last nutrition meeting due to schedule constraints – tomorrow I have to remember to have a meeting…

The heck with Obama and Clinton… now that it's official, we'll be supporting Rileycat in his candidacy for President, and now we've got to convince our friend Steve to let his Golden Doodle, Polly, run for Vice President. It's an unbeatable ticket: cat people and dog people, Democat and Repuplican, unleashed on the American political scene for the first time. Forget Blue and Red America, it's time for Poo and Shed America! As running mates, they might have some problems, though Riley has been declawed and Polly reportedly "likes cats." His handlers, though, are allergic to cats, and we're not crazy…

Rocky Mountain News – Denver and Colorados reliable source for breaking news, sports and entertainment: Columnists Ew. First, this account of an Episcopal parish's annual meeting gone horribly wrong sounds like a nightmare. Second, why does columnist Jean Torkelson make it seem like every Episcopal church is roiled in controversy? Third, Grace and St Stephen's claims 2,400 members. 230 attended the vestry meeting. The rest may be voting with their feet.

Boing Boing: Web Zen: barnyard zen Apparently, BoingBoing's Xeni Jardin is teh delightfully evul, yet inadvertently clueless n00b. She posted a link to a "Kung Fu Bunnies" webanime to that high-traffic group blog and "directory of wonderful things" that plays this incredibly annoying "Kung Fu Fighting" soundtrack/clip with sound effects. Problem is, it plays automagically every time I read BoingBoing via Bloglines, and I could not figure out where the hell it was coming from. And it plays over iTunes and Windows Media. Identifying the problem is more than halfway to solving it, but…weird. UPDATE: I had a nice email…

Enough time has gone by since Holy Innocents closed that I think I can now deal with telling the story of the last 2 services held there. There aren’t many photos, because I was struggling with the settings on the camera and also because much of the time, I was holding either a hymnal or the Book of Common Prayer. Christmas Eve was pretty but… it’s already faded into a sort of mish-mosh of previous years. However, a couple of things stand out. First, someone forgot to clue Fr. Steve in on using the little hand-candles for a candlelit portion,…
