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!

Instagram Pix Returning To My Blog

I am bringing back Instagram pictures back to the blog. There is a way to selectively do that and I am doing it using tags on the service https://ifttt.com where you can do a lot of cool things on the web. Cross-posting is a great way to bring content to a wide audience.

Love Wins, One Year Ago

One year ago the United States Supreme Court decided in favor of marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then thousands of couples around the country have the right to marry the one they love. LGBTQ people can realize the hopes, dreams, benefits and promise of marriage. I salute my friends who are now living the life they fought for and dreamed about for years. May God bless them all today. Love does win, every time.

More Musicals Please

I am in favor of more schmaltzy musicals on TV and in the Movies. We have forgotten how to sing and dance and dream. It’s time we all let loose. The world is too serious these days, maybe we need a break from it all. keep-calm-and-watch-musicals-3

Saturday Sounds: Olivia Newton John – Xanadu

I absolutely love this movie and the music from it. Some have called it cheesy and bad but they are wrong. This flick is about music and love and dreaming a little. Olivia Newton John is quite the muse. This movie is full of high class schmaltz.

Time for some air conditioning and something cool to drink. Yes it’s hotter elsewhere but I’m not elsewhere.
