ESPY's

Hello from the great state of Florida, folks. I have enjoyed some great sunshine and family time here for the last 36 hours or so. The weather is beautiful, and the food has been marvelous (courtesy of Mr. Flip Eikner, my stepmom's brother).

I found some time last night to sneak off to the TV and catch one of my favorite annual events on TV - The ESPYS. The ESPYS are America's night for sports awards.

There were the usual awards for Best Athlete, Best Team, Best College Athlete, Best Olympian, etc. Then there were the inspirational awards - the kind of awards that even give the greatest athletes goosebumps, and perhaps a tear or two.

Those awards are the Jimmy V Award, Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, and even Best Moment. The people that won these awards were definitely deserving considering the adversity they have fought in their lives.

I'll leave you with on such story of one of the greatest women in the world of sports and journalism.

Robin Roberts and her brave fight
