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!

Landline and Text Messaging, Wow!

I can’t wait til they come out with the land line you can text message with. That will be awesome! (I am being highly silly, just so you know.)

An easy and flavorful one-pan dinner!
  • 1.25 – 1.5 lbs boneless chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1/2 tbsp fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (plus more for chicken and vegetables)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (plus more for vegetables)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Vegetables of your choice cut into bite-sized pieces, about 8 cups
    (Here, I’ve used 6 red potatoes, 12 oz baby carrots, and 1 zucchini)
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • Aluminum foil for pan (this ensures even heating and makes cleanup a breeze!)
Mix together vinegar, honey, and all seasonings in measuring cup. Pat chicken dry, sprinkle liberally with salt on both sides, and place in single layer in shallow container or zip-top bag. Pour marinade over, close, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes…

Six Word Story 

​I miss the 1980’s a little. 

Stranger Things, The 80’s Are Creepy

Yet another series that sucks you in from Netflix. This is a supernatural thriller set in the 1980’s. I think it’s going to be cool.

Share The Work

It’s frustrating when 20% of the people in a group seem to do 100% of the work while the other 80% benefit. No matter what organization you are involved in it seems like a few people do the heavy lifting. It is really frustrating when some give all while other give little. I wish more people would share the work.
