Rest In Peace Robin. You have made me laugh from the first time I watched you on Laverne and Shirley some 40 plus years ago.

    I never even knew he was a DnD player... or named his daughter after Zelda... He was the sort of celebrity I would have loved to have met sometime. ;n;

    That's depressing.





    Occupational hazard of creative people, noted at least since the times of the ancient Greeks. I wonder why.

    I remember very clearly zooming up the road after getting off from work at my part-time gas station job in order to see as much of "Mork and Mindy" as I could. I got off at the same time as the show started, but I only lived a few miles away. I'd have everything ready to close down and my car parked and angled in the perfect spot to go. I would usually only miss the first five minutes or so.

    It's good that he had the chance to have a part in so many peoples lives. Not many people have the opportunity to do something like that.

    As they say, he will be missed.

    I will miss Robin Williams, too. One of the movies I liked him in, was Patch Adams.

    A sad, sad tragic ending for a remarkable human being.

    RIP Robin
