It looked liked Chandra had her addiction under control but this is disturbing… Charlottesville?

We all knew she would be blogging this
January 28th, 2010
Starts her new job? Little post.
Some band coming to town in August? BEYOND excited.
We approve of her planned attendance at the Willie Nelson concert. Our tickets sit safely on the microwave.
NaNoWriMo
October 31st, 2009
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
Sara Wagner Yost
The Wilson Triplets
RedSwann of Kansas
Shades of Grey
The Raven’s Mutterings
Let me know if there are any other local bloggers who have taken the pledge.

Before you play the podcast be sure and write down your guess on if/when she mentions Dave Matthews.
How she got to Greensburg
June 22nd, 2009
The process, thought and otherwise, that moved Chandra to take her two week excursion to the media sensation that is Greensburg, KS.
Greensburg revisited
June 2nd, 2009
Wichita State University has sent a group of folks to Greensburg to tell the stories that haven’t been told yet. Here is the web page where all their work is collected. They have nineteen blogs and are posting video, audio and print stories. They are also on Twitter using #grrebirth.
Chandra is there too! And she [...]
Chandra did a video
May 12th, 2009
It’s ten things about her.
Surprisingly, Dave Matthews doesn’t appear until approximately the 20 second mark.
And yes we are worried about the results of the MRI.
One of many reasons
April 17th, 2009
This is why she blogs.
Not to get too philosophical but the wonderful thing about the Wichita area blogosphere is its rich variety. It is a smorgasboard of opinion, experience and expression. To Explain How I Got Here is an example of the many good bloggers in this area.
Chandra does the radio thing
March 24th, 2009
Winding up on Sports Daily is a painfully high price to pay for a scholarship but Chandra is not afraid to suffer for her education.
She even supplies a link to a recording of the show. That “Grumpy Old Men” schtick never grows old, does it?
Wonderfully annoying
January 29th, 2009
Who wouldn’t love a friend that wouldn’t let you slip away from their love and warmth? Certainly not Chandra.
A nice week
January 13th, 2009
Chandra is enjoying enduring Shocker Fitness. Chandra is loving her time at the Eagle. Four bylines in a week? I hope you’re getting paid.
Blogging the pain
January 7th, 2009
Chandra explains how that first day at Shocker Fitness with Coach Bolt went.
For more information on the first day search Twitter for the term “sore.”
By the time you read this it will be over
January 5th, 2009
Chandra fears, among other things, the Shocker Fitness with Coach Bolt madness. But it’s already over now. Of course there’s Wednesday.
Know your bloggers
November 12th, 2008
By their “Six Random Facts” shall ye know them:
Sarah Wagner Yost
Ken’s Blog
Here In Katie’s Head
To Explain How I Got Here
Stay tuned for more randomness.
Update:
Nap Lover
Friday Fun: extend the meme
November 10th, 2008
Chandra joins hands with Friday Fun bloggers across this fruited plain by posting a 38 second video clipped explanation about happiness and marriage.
Update: It’s not Friday but I bumped this up because I forgot the link. In these humor starved times a mistake like that must be corrected. Enjoy.
Why we produce Douglas and Main
November 4th, 2008
It’s not just the Triplets. It’s a chance to share some of the wonderful things Wichitans put on their blogs. They are smart and funny and beautiful and brave.
This is brave.
Twarky
October 6th, 2008
Chandra Twitters. She saves the most interesting ones for further study. If necessary she preserves them with proper field notes.
A deep well spring of blog posts
September 26th, 2008
Chandra has lots of obsessions to feed her blog.
Douglas and Main single-handedly feeds her copy editing jones with more quality errors, every day, than any three editions of The Sunflower.
The bar is set high
September 24th, 2008
If you post video on your site. Beat this!
If you can’t beat that? It is best for all concerned that you don’t post video.
Blog Peeve
September 22nd, 2008
Ask a question but then no answer is provided!
I had it narrowed down to Christmas or Labor Day but the Clint Eastwood clue completely threw me.
But we gave them a giant statue in return
September 17th, 2008
Chandra finds a reason to post a Dave Matthews video. It’s sad but it’s still a reason.
National Punctuation Day
September 16th, 2008
It is approaching. Save your!,;,!,? and . for the coming celebration.
Lovin’ the hatin’
September 9th, 2008
Or hatin’ the lovin’? Chandra and family do the State Fair of Kansas.
I am at a total loss for words
September 5th, 2008
Please forgive me for linking to this.
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea culpa.
Chandra-centric
September 1st, 2008
One of the great things about blogs is you can get to know someone you have never met. Chandra shares, in an appropriate manner, some thoughts about herself.
Number three is a great idea! I don’t know who actually is in charge of promoting Final Friday. They hide themselves, and Final Friday, very well. But if [...]
Love of others and of self
September 1st, 2008
The editors of Douglas and main believe that true love in the digital era is best shown with video. Its nice Chandra says “Happy Birthday” to her husband. But a video of her singing “Happy Birthday” would carry much more weight.
Then she shares her struggles with grades. And she disses a professor.
By name.
Pray that he [...]
Kevin is fine
August 26th, 2008
Chandra enumerates the lessons she has learned while Kevin recovers from surgery.
School clothes
August 25th, 2008
Kids want them. We buy them. But how much do you spend? How much should you spend? Chandra wants to know.
A resounding thud
August 23rd, 2008
People who signed up were promised that they would be the “first” to hear, via a text message to their cell phone, who Barack Obama chose as his running mate.
L. Kelly monitors the anticipation and the disappointment.
Update: Chandra says “meh” too.
Didn’t see this coming
August 20th, 2008
Chandra goes for the oddity post and talks about the Olympics.
Get well soon Kevin.
We’re all about the links at Douglas and Main
August 18th, 2008
Chandra understands the magnetic allure of Sarah Vowell. She is spreading the word. Do you have your tickets yet? October 22 is not far away.
And she says some nice things about our staff. Glad to be of service.
When you see an injustice
September 2nd, 2008
…you blog about it. And Chandra can not let injustice go un-blogged. She gives Denise Neil’s comments on Springsteen’s play list an F. A sly, age related, diss gets a 9.9 from the Russian judge.
Douglas and Main both encourage the free venting of spleen towards each other but one warning. Be careful about hanging around [...]
