A manic, brilliant form of humor that's so fast and furious few of us can keep up. <br /><br />Thank you, Kathy, for your appreciation and participation on my blog. Those terrible years of depression are over for me, and I hope never to see them again. If I do, I've learned from my past mistakes. I *will* seek help.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-62149538463789058882014-08-17T04:07:02.768-07:002014-08-17T04:07:02.768-07:00Oy, my typing at this hour.

A young friend is going through some really tough times, and I see him having a hard time and know I have to be more tuned in to listening and being there, not just wrapped up in what I have to do.<br /><br />But the news that Robin Williams also had the beginning stage of Parkinson's Disease is another level of concern for him as he was worried that he wouldn't be able to work as the disease advanced. For such a brilliant person to feel he'd lose his ability of lightning wit must have terrified him.<br /><br />I, too, liked George Carlin so much. He was comedic genius and political commentator. And Billy Connelly is hilarious. I'd add Richard Pryor to the mis and today I see other comedians, including some very sharp women.<br /><br />But Robin Williams had a min tht could think of 30 references at once, historical, current, classical, street-wise, and with accents, too! It is very sad.<br /><br />Know that those of us who read this wonderful blog every day appreciate it greatly, all of the hard work and thought and excellent writing that goes into it. And the humor, too!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-36529988575131307562014-08-15T12:05:45.710-07:002014-08-15T12:05:45.710-07:00Yes, he was a gift.Yes, he was a gift.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-52807068427498815612014-08-15T12:03:31.772-07:002014-08-15T12:03:31.772-07:00You're right, Kathy.
