Tears of a Clown

Of course I was devastated by the news that Robin Williams died. I am reliving it as podcasts that were taped when the news broke are now being released. I don't want to get into it because, as is life, we move on and new things happen. I remember when I was in high school and sitting on the phone as my best friend cried over the death of Chris Farley. I just went to her daughter's third birthday party. Make note that while many people can have kids in high school and that could just be a whopping four years ago, that was, in fact, back in 1997.

Fortunately for me, I live in northern California and get to mourn the loss of many bottle of wine as the earth shook the Napa Valley. I got to wake up to at least of ten seconds of "what the hell?" And then, since no major damage was done, I moved on and had to be reminded at work there was a damn earthquake just yesterday morning. So this month will see an increase of  sales of everything Robin William related and if people are feeling silly, a jump in YouTube views of this.

 

I'm pretty sure she wasn't singing about plate tectonics.
