*note from Jon: When
I got back to San Francisco I felt compelled to drive over to Robin's
house and pay my respects: Robin Williams' Sea Cliff San Francisco home -
farewell my old neighbor. My girlfriend and I met him one rainy night
just about here from where I took
this photo. He was sitting in his Volvo SUV wagon with bike rack on the
back. When we walked by the driver door with umbrella suddenly the door
popped open and out jumped Robin - he said "Hey Kids! Be careful when
you walk around here at night, the cars come around the corner fast!" He
was still wearing the fatigues from his USO Tour - we talked for a long
time standing in the rain there near China Beach and then he said good
night and walked across the street and went in his house. RIP Robin
