Nanu nanu! Mork signing off...



Farewell to the enormous talent that was Robin Williams.

"They'll never make a movie about the life of Robin Williams, eventful though it's been, because they'd never find another actor who could play him."

I used to have Mork suspenders...wish I could dig them out and wear them in his honor.

Even though I'm too young to know anything about Mork and Mindy, Robin Williams was still a part of my childhood...

-Genie from Aladdin

-Peter Pan from Hook

-Batty Koda from FernGully (I think we watched it so much the VHS tape stopped working)

-Mrs. Doubtfire

-Jumanji (this movie scared the crap out of me; I could not understand why they would want to play that game)

The man even took time out to entertain us troops for the USO.

I know he is famous for other more inspiring movies and roles; I could go on and on with a list with Patch Adams being a personal favorite, but this is what I grew up on.

O Captain, My Captain.

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion.

Medicine, Law, Engineering, these are all noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But Poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

To quote from Whitman, O me! O life of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities filled with the foolish... What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer: That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Thank you for the verse you contributed Mr. Williams, it was beautiful.

I have this posted in my office. Just to remind myself in case I fall into the nasty habit of 'settling'.

Sounds like something Penny and Sheldon need to say daily.

Watched 'Good Will Hunting' yesterday as a sort of farewell/tribute. I really rate Robin Williams as an actor; here helping the maths genius transcend his background.
