All posts by Tony Burgess

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!

Something About Disappointment

Disappointment is a part of life. Getting your hopes up can be problematic. When something you hoped for doesn’t come true, it hurts. The saving grace here is that time helps you get over things and offers needed perspective. Time can help you move on to other things to come and hopefully better.

The Digital Dust Has Settled

Dogs or cats?

We are a dog house. Our home has been blessed by our heavenly dogs, Mikey and Cody. A couple of years ago, we brought home a shelter dog named Frankie. All of our boys have been very good boys. Now, we don’t hate cats, but we love dogs. We also enjoy videos of doggos doing crazy things on the Internet.

This is Frankie boy dog.

Blog Improvements, Excuse The Digital Dust

Friends, I am making some changes to my blog. This includes transitioning to an older but feature rich theme and doing some tweaking. Please excuse the digital dust as I renovate. Things will be finished sometime soon. Thanks for your friendship and connection.

Some Funny Amazon Prime Packaging

I am a fan of smart and funny stuff. This Amazon Prime packaging has a very clever and very true slogan. Without someone ordering stuff, this package container is indeed empty on the inside. Well done Amazon package marketing and design team.

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

Which activities make you lose track of time?

I tend to get tunnel-visioned when it comes to the things I am interested in. When I am focused on doing something that fascinates me, I do lose all track of time and perhaps space. The one activity I can point to that sucks me in the most is blogging. Yep, blogging is my prime hobby and my greatest distraction. Everyone has things that make them lose track of time, and it is OK, sometimes.
