Haiti action

Lots of thoughts (and actions) among Wichita blogs concerning the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.

Shea encouraged [pushed] and cajoled [demanded] everyone she could to help Ross and Jami connect with Alex, the boy they are in the process of adopting. Start here and follow the posts from there to relive the drama. It includes CNN coverage and lots of kind people and It ends happily for them.

For those still in Haiti it’s not so good. RedSwann has a link to lots of BRESMA orphanage stories. At KPTS Jess Huxman has a link to a number of resources dealing with the situation and information about the “Hope for Haiti” telethon of Friday night.

Local avenues of help:

Hopsitals for Hope is looking for contributions to their “Clinic-in-a-Can” program.

It’s time for National Novel Writing Month. Six bloggers (that I am aware of) are committed to producing a novel by the end of November.

To Explain How I Got Here

The Raven’s Mutterings

Let me know if there are any other local bloggers who have taken the pledge.

RedSwann is now listed on Amazon

Her writing is part of a soon to be published anthology that you can now preorder at Amazon.com. This is way cool!

Wooed by WU

WU Shock does a lovely thing. The old heap of straw never looked better.

For Proust it was a taste

For RedSwann it was a cold day.

Thanks for the memories

RedSwann pauses at the end of the Shocker’s basketball season to say “thank you” to the seniors.

She’ll take the win

It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t dominating. But the Shocker Men’s basketball team led at the end and that is what matters for RedSwann.

RedSwann goes black, Bluejays beaten

The Shocker men beat Creighton. Black is now the official lucky color for RedSwann.

The best amateur sports blogger in Wichita

RedSwann of Kansas. She actually talks about sports, feels strongly about her teams, has a take and doesn’t suck.

What’s a Shocker to do?

Patience is called for, just as it was in the Scott Thompson era. And the Mike Cohen era. And the Randy Smithson era. RedSwann finds it a comfortable place to be.
