Wow! First of all, I'd like to say I really had to think for a long time as to whether or not I wanted to resume writing a blog. With all the social media that I already do(Facebook and Twitter), would I really benefit from writing something that not many people will see? I have had many stories that I skipped out on sharing because I thought pics on another social media sight would be good enough. Well, I think I changed my mind. So, here goes!
Recently, Krisha and I had the opportunity to go the Lakewood Ranch, FL to meet basketball HOF'er and announcer Dick Vitale. He eats at The Broken Egg every morning that he's in town, and while he is there he sells some merchandise to help raise $ for the V Foundation. The V Foundation was established and named after Jim Valvano, who lost his battle to cancer. The V Foundation raises money for cancer research, so going down to eat breakfast and then be able to donate $ to help right cancer was a huge deal for us.
Meeting Dickie V was AWESOME, as well. He is just as kind and high strung as you think he'd be if you've ever seen him on television. Sometimes, he takes pics with those he meets and posts them on the internet via Twitter...he did that with me! (http://twitpic.com/5qiw11) Krisha actually got on his Twitter once before with a group of ladies from our church. Anyway, in getting that pic he asked Krisha to take it with his phone! What a nice, kind, genuine guy who gives his time and energy to help defeat the horrible killer we know as cancer. He's as real as real gets for "celebs" and I hope to see him again in the future. Thanks for an AWESOME encounter, Dickie V!!!
