I would think that going by train or bus would be a great way to see the country. You can’t see much from the sky. I have done cross country in a minivan when I was a teenager when my family went to California and then on a separate vacation, we went up north to New York City. I am not a good long-distance driver so I would not want to take a car. Also, there would be a lot to look at.
In April I will have been working at Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank for 10 years. There are days when it seems to go well and other days it’s like pulling teeth. It’s my goal to do good things to help save lives. It always depends on people willing to help out when I reach out to them to donate blood. The struggle can be real. Somedays I do enjoy it but it depends on my attitude and that counts for a lot I think.
I have a few favorites. I like Diet Dr. Pepper (it was my dad’s favorite soda) iced coffee, root beer, tea, and chocolate milk. My hydration solution is flavored water.
My biography title would be called “Dork Mode; The Life and Times of Tony Burgess” and it would be the most boring thing anyone would read. Really it would be dull.
I have a comfortable house, and the mortgage payments are reasonable. I think I am OK there.
What I would most like to see is for others who need a safe place to live and to have their own roof over their heads. Homelessness and affordable housing is a problem everywhere. In the 21st century, no one should be without a proper dwelling. Housing should be something basic everyone should be able to have access to. To me, that would be a dream home or just dreaming of a home.
Our dog, Frankie is not a fan of having his feet touched, especially by nail clippers. He won’t let anyone clip his claws and they need it badly. I would want him to understand that we do him no harm and that he will feel better with shorter claws. We hope he will let us do this someday.
