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!

National Coming Out Day #LGBTQ #ComingOutDay

To all those who have come out you have my love and respect. Living your truth is a powerful statement. To those who cannot come out for one reason or another may you find your way to being yourself when the time is safe and right.

Thanksgiving In Canada

To all my friends in Canada celebrating Thanksgiving today I hope you have a wonderful day of togetherness, feasting, and reflection. As you gather think about the tough days of the past and work toward a better future. Truth and reconciliation can be found around a table while sharing a meal. I know I am thankful for Canada. Have safe and peaceful day with your family, friends and others.

Vintage Ad Of The Day – Halloween Costumes from K-Mart

I miss K-Mart’s and the costumes they sold. These costumes appear to be before my time.

We Know I Am Weird

This meme speaks to me on all sorts of levels.

Still Nerdy, Stay Nerdy

As a nerd grows older does, he/she will they still have the enthusiasm about the stuff they are interested in? This is a question I am wondering about. Right now, I am in my 50’s and I am still nerdy about a lot of stuff, and I suppose I have my church (there are loads of nerds there), friends, and the Internet to thank for that. I just hope I don’t lose that sense of curiosity and joy that comes along with being a different sort of dude who sees things from a vastly different lens.

Stay nerdy my friends. Stay nerdy. Be yourself. The world needs us

PBR on a Friday night. Old school if you ask me.
