Three tiny stories about Robin Williams

A tweet just reminded me I had rainbow suspenders. Totally forgot the rainbow suspenders. EVERY 9 YEAR OLD IN AMERICA IN 1980 had rainbow suspenders.

Oh geez I had those too. “@third_brain: Fondly remembering my rainbow suspenders. #RobinWilliamsWillLiveOnForever”

And while visiting my parents in San Francisco, Spring 1992, I saw Robin Williams running in the Presidio. He was really hairy, really sweaty, in really good shape, and smiling at everyone.

He was also a huge bike nut, often went to France during the Tour, and apparently often seen on group rides and amateur races in the Bay area.

Shazbot.
