It’s cool when you read a blog and they say it’s Saturday when where you are it’s still Friday. This blogging thing spans time, space and the planet. Blogging is universal and community building. To everyone where it’s a different time from where I am I hope you have an awesome day! Keep on blogging, the world depends on it.

Flashback Friday – Duran Duran – Rio #FBF
With the Olympics starting tonight in Rio this seems appropriate. From 1982 this is “Rio” by Duran Duran.
Friday, Wow You Are Here!
Looks like we made it (to paraphrase Barry Manilow). Happy Friday friends. Lets make it a great one. Way to go everyone!
My Blog Is Me
tonyburgess1969.net is my spot on the web, my official blog of record, my domain (yep I paid for it). No matter what goes on over at Facebook or Twitter this will always be where I will share what is on my heart and in my head without limit. Here I can be less filtered and a little more daring if you will. It is important to be genuine and real. Bloggers are special and we all have a connection with one another through our common interest. Of course I will remain courteous, kind and always silly. Here I am the star of my own blog.
This is a digital extension of who I am. What you see here is what I am like in person. I am grateful to each of you from far and wide who are following me, reading and commenting my posts. As I read on another blog a blog without readers isn’t a fun place to be. WordPress has provided us an awesome platform for expression and connection. So when you come here you will see my blog is me.
A Ramble About Retirement
Today a co-worker retired after 33 years of service to the company and there was a pot-luck lunch given in her honor. My longest tenure was 8 years for Olan Mills Church Directories. People have multiple jobs in multiple locations over their lifetime. Just ask freelancers, ministers and others who work one string of temp jobs after another. Some people change jobs like they do their socks.
There is something to be said for longevity and stability. It sure makes managing your retirement fund easier I would think. Companies are getting rid of older workers all the time to keep payroll and expenses lower to improve profit margins.
Retirement is a great thing. They say you are busier in retirement than at any other time in life. This is something we all must face at one time in our lives. I can safely say I won’t get a retirement cake saying 33 years. I might get a cupcake or something like that.
