I'm writing this blog to show some appreciation to my dad, who always has been the man, but is now outdoing himself.

A little bit of background on my dad:

He's pretty good at ping pong (but not as good as his older brother Demetri)

He used to fight with Demetri all the time, and he once threw scissors at him
out of pure frustration, though at the last moment, he held back his arm so as
to release them without much force

He has a secret little handshake with his youngest brother Constantine
where they just shake with their pinky fingers

He has a scar on his cheek that was caused by a flying piece of hot steel
from when he was working in a factory. My dad has back probelms now that I think can be attributed to me, because he used to carry me around on his back all the time. And he once also broke his leg in Greece, and I think it was again, because of me. Sorry about that dad. :)
One time when he and I were in north-eastern part of Greece, we were walking a distance of about a mile and a half, from one enormous monastery to another, and he heard me huffing and puffing and he looked at me and said, "George...you've gotten FAT! You really need to get more exercise.

My dad has a Ph.D and was a senior economist for the World Bank.

My dad is the man. He's outdoing himself now because after he retired from the World Bank, he moved to Greece. In Greece he got himself into apartment in Athens, found it to be too loud there and moved again. Then he came back to the US to visit for a while and he ended up buying a SICK, SICK bachelor's pad of a place in Reston, VA. I had been living in Rockville for the last two years. I can't emphasize enough how awesome my dad's house in Reston is. Three story, three bedroom townhouse with beautiful upgrades. Granite countertops, spacious rooms that my dog Sophia loves, and a beautiful, beautiful view of a lake in the back yard. There's also a beautiful garden (it will get more beautiful with my help), and its' about five minutes away from Reston Town Center. Anyway, a few months ago, he suggested that I just move into his place (it's actually in my name, my sister's name, and my mom's name) in Reston, and I just rent out the place in Rockville.
This opportunity couldn't have come at a better time since in the next couple of months I'll be getting myself incorporated as a DJ in order to get the legal benefits of working for myself. SOOO, thank you dad, for continuing to be so incredible. I love you.
