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!

Tonight is going to be a busy TV night. It used to be all reruns during the summer and that still holds true in some places but as of late the networks are putting first run shows on during the Summer to keep viewers engaged and watching.

Tonight we have a log jam of some shows we like so we have some decisions to make.

8:00 PM

Big Brother 17 on CBS
The Astronaut’s Wives Club on ABC

9:00 – 11:00 PM

Under The Dome on CBS

10:00 PM

Rookie Blue on ABC

We do have a DVR so we can time delay some of this. We enjoy all the shows on Thursday night and we wish some of these shows were a little more spread out.

We have about 500 days until the next presidential election in November 2016. My wife pointed out last night its going to be a very long journey with loads of talk of politics on both sides of the aisle and perhaps some mud slinging. Facebook is going to be one of the worst places to see all the talk about what the candidates are doing and what they are saying. Avoiding Facebook all together is tough for some folks. I am thinking that we will be seeking a refuge from it all online. Perhaps some folks will just take a cyber sabbatical and find other things to do.

I can be political as the next guy but this will be ugly early. We will see the candidates saying things about each other than saying something about themselves. My thought is this really long campaign season will not be in the best interest of the electorate. We will all have some fatigue about the whole process and will be ready to move onto something new.

We might have 25 candidates before its all said and done so that will be a battle royal to see who survives it all. I suppose the only thing we can do is to grin and bear it. It just seems like 2012 was yesterday.
