Not just any sneakers, of course, but fancy-shmancy sneakers named after a rare lobster. Fun and Fearless in Boston reports on how she hooked her boyfriend up with a pair.

Somebody who pays way more attention to newspaper real-estate stories than I e-mailed me to note that real-estate trade groups have been proclaiming an end to plummeting housing prices and sales in Globe articles for 30 months now:

12/29/06: "Still, said David Wluka, the realtors association's president, signs that the market might be stabilizing are beginning to appear."

12/11/07: "Bucking conventional wisdom, a trade group for real estate agents yesterday said the battered housing market is on the verge of stabilizing and inched-up its outlook for 2007 and 2008 home sales."

6/30/09: "There is a clear trend home prices declines are moderating -- another sign the beleaguered housing market is stabilizing..."

UPDATE: Canceled due to our never-ending rain.

Massport arrivals list at 11 p.m. Yellow means delays of up to 45 minutes; red means even longer delays.

Lots of canceled, diverted and delayed flights at Logan Airport tonight thanks to fog and, apparently, some sort of problem with the system used to guide planes into the airport.

Spencer McEwen tweets he has now been stuck sitting at T.F. Green on a Logan-bound Virgin plane longer than if the airline had simply put everybody on buses and driven them to Logan - and then driven them back to Green for the hell of it and then back to Boston. They've already had to pump out the plane's waste systems so passengers can relieve themselves again as they wait for "the Logan approach system" to get fixed.

UPDATE, 11:09 p.m.: McEwen reports the flight crew is now rationing what little food they have: Children and the elderly get first dibs.

UPDATE, 12:04 a.m: McEwen tweets on arrival in Boston:

Touchdown in Boston. Everybody cheered and clapped.

Steve Garfield tweets he was late getting in from LaGuardia due to the fog.
