Dallas Greek Food Festival

I look forward to the Dallas Greek Food Festival each year put on by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. I always eat way too much, but it all tastes delicious.

This Icon is on the outside as you walk into the Church.

Yummy Gyros.

Even Dad was Greek for a day.

Happy Birthday Zelda

Boot Scootin' Boogie

Me and Zelda

I don't get to see her often so I had to post a few pictures and brag on her some. It was hot, but we were having a great time at the Dallas Zoo.

Zelda makes it back to Texas

My parents just returned from Atlanta and had a great surprise with them. My niece ZELDA.

She is on a 2 week trip to visit Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle me.

Moving

Well I was suppose to move today,a whole month early. My family and I agreed I need to get away from where I live now. My parents helped me pack since I not suppose to lift anything heavy just yet. The movers were to be at my house at 3. At 5 they called and said they could not come today. Glad I still have a month on my lease. They said they would be at the house first thing in the morning. Between the soreness I have from the fall and the fact I hate moving the conversation did not go well. Looks like I will be looking for a different mover.

It is like my life is turning in to the Richard Pryor movie "Moving" Hopefully I not the only one old enough to remember it.

If your going to be dumb...

News after my fall

As the days go by I am feeling a lot better. Now wounded pride is setting in. They say laughter is the best medicine and this video helps me see I am not alone. So this weeks idiot award I give to myself.

On a side note I was catching up on my email today and came across this news story. I guess stairs are out to get ACO's. I truly hope he is OK and I am only making fun of myself.

Animal control officer critically hurt at home

Stafford officer in critical condition after fall at his home

A veteran Stafford animal control officer was critically injured Sunday when he fell down some steps at his home, police said.

Dennis R. Ottley, 59, was in intensive care last night at Mary Washington Hospital, Sheriff's Maj. David Decatur said. He was in critical condition.

"We're keeping the Ottleys in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and we hope everyone else will do the same," Decatur said.

Animal control is under Sheriff Charles Jett, and Ottley is also a sworn deputy.

He has worked for Stafford animal control since November 1990.

Decatur said Ottley's wife called 911 from their home on Leeland Road in southern Stafford at 8:33 p.m. Sunday after hearing a noise.

She found her husband at the bottom of the steps in the basement, unconscious and unresponsive.

Rescue workers rushed him to the hospital.

The animal control division is headed by chief animal control officer Michael Null Jr. and has six officers.

Decatur said it became part of the Sheriff's Office in 1991.

Survived but scared the you now what out of me

I never had to be in ICU until this weekend. They were very nice but I never want to have to go again. Last thing I remember I was walking down the stairs at my apartment. Next thing I know I am waking up strapped down to a bed in a hospital like this guy.

Apparently I fell down the stairs and landed on my head. I am bruised and cut up but somehow I did not break anything. I was so luckily because a man got my phone out of my pocket and called every number in it until he got my mom. If he did not come by and call 911 I would have probably died. My head is still in a pretty good fog and I am sore but at least I am out of the hospital

For all of you who called thanks for caring. I took a pretty good blow but I am still in this game we call life.
