Peace, Robin Williams, Peace.

Robin Williams.  I always said that if I had to pick a celebrity to have over for dinner, it would be Robin Williams.  Not that he’d be Mr. Funny all the time, but that spark, that sharp mind, being comical or not, he’d have to be interesting.  When I first heard that Robin Williams was dead, before I’d heard the toysdetails, I figured it was a heart attack.  Years of cocaine & alcohol have a way of messing up a person’s system, even after being clean.  Once the reported suicide info broke, I can’t say it was a surprise.  A shock, yes, but not a surprise.  Many of the funniest people are also the darkest.  Humor is a fantastic coping mechanism.  It’s easy to hide behind, especially when you’re good & quick on the uptake, and Robin was a master of quick and on-the-money, off the wall humor.  He made the world a better place with his gift of laughter.  I just wish we could have made the world a better place for him.  Rest in Peace, Robin.  No more torment.
