I’ve shared the story before how my younger brother and I lived with my grandparents, my dad’s parents, for a little while. This was way back closer to the middle of the last century.

Sunday. Monday. And just like that we go from “the biggest game of the year” or “the most spectacular sports event of the year” to ho-hum another blah blah first day of the week. Well, maybe that’s how you do it. But not me. For me, it’s Sunday Monday and every day’s a fun day. Or maybe I should say Funderday. Because it’s not … The rest of the story…
Only one can win and claim the number 1 spot. Yeah, the team that wins the Superbowl gets to be called number 1. I get to be the number 1 Tony Funderburk on the internet. Yippee!

And that also means the strength of my heart was compromised from … The rest of the story…
Love doesn’t mean you have to be a doormat, always turn the other cheek, or simply keep your mouth shut. In fact, most of the time, if you’re doing those things, you might not love your neighbor as yourself as much as you think you do. Yeah, good news is you don’t have to keep your mouth shut. Well, not all the time anyway. … The rest of the story…
Breastmilk information and thought something like, “Huh?” Or maybe something like, “well this certainly isn’t the kind of stuff that Tony talks about much. So I better find out what’s going on in that crazy cranium of his.” Am I right? C’mon, admit it. It’s OK. Because breastmilk information ain’t exactly in my wheelhouse, as they say. But I read a post on social … The rest of the story…

I’m gonna say a little something about living well. And I don’t mean living well. Yeah, I guess I could use a little clearing up. Because it sounds like I contradict myself within just a few words. But it’ll make sense in just a second. I’m talking about living well, the noun. There. All clear? Good, let’s move on. Just kidding. But I am … The rest of the story…
America’s first generation citizens fought some very costly battles and a war in order for you and me to be truly free.
