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!
Today (well yesterday) is my 10th anniversary at Blood Assurance. It’s hard to believe I’ve been dialing for blood donors for a decade. This is the longest job I’ve ever had. It’s been a ride full of ups and downs. I am thankful for this organization that’s dedicated to saving lives for providing me a place to make a living and to make a difference. Here’s to many more years ahead.
I think North Korea would be a very depressing place to visit. The country is basically a cult centered around one guy who happens to be a huge nepo baby. They also have a huge military that hasn’t seen action in years if not decades……..They treat their citizens badly if they fall out of line. Sure, some of it looks fascinating but not worth the risk. Yeah, North Korea would be a big no from me. It’s too off the wall and just weird.
Lots of stuff is going on in the Middle East. Now would be a good time for a call for peace. May there be peace on Earth and may it begin with each of us.
Most of us love tacos. All of us hate taxes. This Saturday we kicked off with breakfast tacos of eggs, ham, salsa and cheese. Later on, I worked on our 2023 income taxes which was painless. I always wait to the last minute on doing taxes because it’s not always been pleasant. The rest of the day is about getting a few other things done and chilling out. I hope your day is going well.
