Special Olympics are alive and well in Yakima, Washington. Rik, Michele and myself found that out the hard way after we were challenged to a basketball scrimmage this past Friday.

A huge thank-you to Coach Bill and the entire Special Olympics family for having us -- even though we got taken to the cleaners by four different teams. I asked Coach Bill what it meant to the athletes, and he said "It means the world to them, they've been looking forward to this game all week."

After game one we struggled to catch our breath and realized we were in for a long afternoon. All in all, it was a great opportunity to spend time with some incredible people and mark my words: We will be ready for a rematch.
