I checked my email and found this video in it. There is no reason in the world why the video should have landed in my email - but there it was. I want to share this gift, this blessing, that somehow came my way. Take a look! It's only a few short minutes.

Odd. How spectacular is it to take your own life?

But he was spectacular for so many decades, and made so many people happy! I think the way he lived his life significantly outweighed his final decision, especially because of the neurological degradation he was living with, knowing it would only become worse.

Maybe it's a NorCal thing.

Nah, not just a NorCal thing. I get it too. If I had empirical data saying the rest of my life would be a steady decline neurologically and that I could no longer live spectacularly, I'd probably make the same decision. It's human.

Yeah. I agree. I think that of all people, Robin Williams knew what "living spectacularly" meant.
