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!
First Contact Day was a holiday celebrated to honor both the warp 1 flight of the Phoenix and first open contact between Humans and Vulcans on April 5th, 2063 in Bozeman, Montana. This is a fictional future history but with some dreaming it could be reality. To all the Star Trek fans out there, Boldly Go today and Live Long And Prosper.
This ad seems so colorful for this time in history to celebrate Easter. Candy is a important part of the observance. My favorite Easter candy is black jelly beans and Reese’s peanut butter eggs.
The Pfizer vaccine is a miracle of modern medicine but its making me feel not my best. Body chills, some aches and fatigue are making their presence known today. I am taking this Saturday to rest and hopefully get to feeling better. It’s weird how this works. This is for the long-term good so I won’t get COVID down the road. I hope you all are doing OK.
I wanna think on this Good Friday that Jesus would have been more welcome at Woodstock and a local pub than in some churches and schools who claim him as their Lord and Savior. Jesus wasn’t much for performative displays of pretentious piety.
Yesterday was my second Pfizer vaccine injection. I am not feeling any ill effects other than a sore arm where the injection site was. Today I woke up as normal and went to work. I feel for those who had it rough after their second shots. Let’s hope people continue to get the vaccine so things can be somewhat routine again. I won’t say normal because the last normal didn’t work. Be safe and well everyone.
