History Homework

There’s more to living in an old house than repairing drafty windows. These walls are talking, and the story they have to tell is anything but mundane.

We approve…

There is nothing better than a bucket of frozen deliciousness to acclimate your body’s temperature to the frigidness of the outside climate and atmosphere. It builds character. No? More for us then.

Nom. Nom.

In case you hadn’t heard

3 Dec 2010

Lynette and Levi met on Twitter. They became life partners. Then Lynette had a baby… six weeks early. Oh, the drama! That “@tweetfetus” just couldn’t wait to come out. Welcome, Eve Marie. (I have to admit, after eating those delicious “Emma” cookies at the baby shower, I’m having a hard time adjusting to calling her otherwise.)

You can read all about her life and her parents on her very own blog. And, of course, Kim had some thoughts too.

More insight on the WSU shooting incident

29 Nov 2010

The Wichita NAACP has additional information on the shooting incident that occurred recently at WSU. It’s always good to get additional perspectives on stories such as these, where traditional reporting methods sometimes make it difficult to gather all perspectives.

A Very Magical Birthday for a Local Designer

23 Nov 2010

Local designer Kyle Kolkovich celebrated a birthday this weekend that will not soon be forgotten.  Steve and Judy posted pictures on of their fun-filled night over on The Burrow. Douglas and Main’s very own Jerrod Ketchersid also wrote about the event on his blog.

Jerrod would like to acknowledge to the people that he did in fact just plug his own blog and is currently speaking in third person. Move along people (after reading the posts)…there is nothing to see here (except some really cool pictures)…

*Disclaimer- Because I plugged my own blog, I wanted to note that the views expressed therein do not necessarily represent the beliefs/views of the Douglas and Main blog…unless you liked the post…*

I don’t know which is more horrifying…

18 Nov 2010

Devote some time to checking out both of the links in this post.  It’s almost Idiocracy meets Fight Club in the way that America is “dumbing down” and yet it continues to have an ever-present need to stick-it-to-the-man and get by on dishonesty. It also shows the devaluation of each one of our levels of education. Like, O.M.G.
