Just to Remember Robin Williams
Ten years ago I lived on a mountain in Virginia working at a little gift shop and hiking all day. One day after my shift I was tired and ready to go to my little cot in the shared dorm when a waitress said, "Did you hear? Robin Williams killed himself." My soul broke a little as this man who had made me laugh and cry and inspired me to keep a little bit of madness in my heart was no more. Oh Captain, my captain.
Reference Lamp 3000
On display this week only is a magical lamp that will answer any question you desire. Want to know where the best cheesesteak in town is or why your dad left after that whaling expedition the family took when you were in third grade and it was weird your teacher was there with your mom and they spent a lot of time by themselves and your father cried a lot but he did buy you that "Whale of a Time" t-shirt so that was cool? The lamp will be on the reference desk all this week until it vanishes until next year. Rub away!
