Shoe Lacing

Ian’s Shoelace Site – Shoe Lacing Methods
Criss Cross Lacing
This is probably the most common method of lacing normal shoes and boots. The laces simply criss-cross as they work their way up the shoe.

The Curiosity of Chance

The Curiosity of Chance (2006)
We actually watched this one before we watched Kinky Boots.  I really liked this movie and I am fairly certain it ranks highly for Kevin as well.

Kevin and I watched Kinky Boots (2005) the other day and we both liked it.

Worst Person In The World

Joe. My. God.: Worst Person In The World: Stuart Shepard
Last night Keith Olbermann tapped Shepard as the “Worst Person In The World.”
