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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
In doing some blog maintenance, I have discovered there are quite a few people I haven’t seen or heard from in a while. I do miss their presence in the blogosphere and what they have to say.
Now is the time to restore the feeling and create a post or two. Perhaps if we did more long-form blogging, we would understand one another better and share some cool stuff from our world view. So, my friends, let us all fire up WordPress or Tumblr if you will and create some new magic. Keep on blogging, good people.
My dad’s birthday was last week, and we went to visit him at National Cemetery today. Dad has a place of honor here for his service in the United States Air Force. It was a nice but very warm day to see him. At a military cemetery, there is great reverence and precision on show, as one would expect.
