Is it time for an intervention?

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

We all knew she would be blogging this

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.

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.

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

The process, thought and otherwise, that moved Chandra to take her two week excursion to the media sensation that is Greensburg, KS.

Greensburg revisited

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 has discovered the joys of country driving. Be sure and scroll all the way to the end of the post for a nice podcast.

Chandra did a video

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

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

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?

Bad blogging neighbors

Good neighbors don’t play their “Best of Manilow” CDs too loud or mow their lawn at 5:00am on a Sunday morning. Good blog neighbors don’t post videos like this.
