Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!
A little over five years ago, we visited Detroit, Michigan, on our way to Canada. We visited the Renaissance Center, and across the Detroit River, we saw Windsor, Ontario, Canada. We are about to do it again starting today. I am ready to see and do and have some fun. Let’s go!
National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to celebrating our democracy. Be sure to have a plan to vote. Encourage your family and friends to get to the polls on November 5, 2024. All elections are important and the one in November is going to be an even bigger election to us all.
Bearing false witness about a community and its people is not holy and certainly not American. I support all the Springfields out there who are just trying to make it in the days we live in.

There is a constant mental jukebox running in my head. Music is a vital part of my life. I gain comfort, wisdom, and fun from it. Lyrics are great sources of quotable material. My life wouldn’t be the same without the melody, the moments, and the messages of tunes of all genres. I can say the world would be terrible if the music of life stopped. May the music keep on playing.
