A love/hate thing
June 19th, 2009
We at Douglas and Main love the Wichita Eagle. They have top notch reporters and without them we would be in the dark about many local events.

Bishop Carroll has a new eagle, excuse me, a new Golden Eagle painted on its basketball court. Watch the whole process take place in less than a minute.
I agree, partially

The Wichita Eagle is an important part of our community. It is hard to watch it fire talented people who know this city and it’s people. Moti likens it to watching a dying friend slowly waste away.
Firing Joe Stumpe was a mistake. Squeezing out Mark McCormick, and others, is short sighted. What gives The Eagle [...]
A brother’s hand

One moment please

Our trip back in time to Steph’s tween life will be interrupted by events in her present life which are in the future for tween Steph but already moving into the past for Present Steph as she boldly becomes Future Steph. She will resume in a couple of weeks.

Leading in hard times

Hard times? Like now? Or maybe later if things don’t work out so well now? Whatever.
Dr. Paul White has some thoughts on leadership when the going gets tough.
This also appeared in the Eagle but its not like the Eagle needs the links, right?
Local blogger makes headlines
September 22nd, 2008
