Genie-us!

What sad news...  Robin Williams gone.

I felt like he was part of our lives when Kevin was growing up.

He was introduced to Kevin as the Genie in Aladdin, which he watched over and over till the video tape eventually wore out.  Then there was Hook and Jumanji and Mrs Doubtfire and Flubber and so on. I don't need to name them. Then when Kevin was a bit older I found a copy of Popeye, which was a bit dark, but nevertheless he loved Robins wacky portrayal of the character.

There's nothing I can add to all the tributes being paid to him today, but I saw someone say this on Twitter last night and thought it made sense.  He was "Someone who brought so much happiness and obviously struggled with his own"

I know what it's like to live with somebody who suffers from depression and my thoughts are with his family now.

RIP Robin.  "We ain't never had a friend like you..."
