Robin Williams Makes me sick.


So night before last I went to see the USO show, knowing that Robin Williams would be the last performer as he was the biggest name on the bill. First was a female comedian, I cannot remember her name but she was funny, not VERY funny, just funny. Lance Armstrong was the announcer. He was funny but it seemed as if he had better things to do. He really seemed like he was not into it. Then came Kix Brooks and a song writer. I really wish they had not broken up, because without Dunn, they just cannot be the same. They did put on a good performance though. 

Then after about 2 hours of standing outside while the temp dropped from “OH MY gosh cold” to “you must be stupid for standing out here cold”, Robin Williams comes bounding on stage. I saw him arrive in and noticed his smile through the vehicle window. The smile of someone who truly loves what he was there to do. He put on a heck of a show. I think just because he supports the troops he is the best comedian of all time. I remember his Mork and Mindy days all the way till the present. 

After the show the performers staying and took pictures with the troops. This is where this blog really begins. The performance was over and as I began to move off the bleachers I noticed that my muscles seem to have frozen while standing there. With each step I walked my body got colder and colder. At one point I did not think I was going to be able make it back to my room before I collapsed. By the time I reached the door to the barracks I was trembling violently. I was chilled through and through. I went straight to my room and got in bed. There I stayed for 36 hours. I had feverish dreams about numbers. I woke up soaking wet and freezing with chills that hurt. Thanks to my friend Wayne for checking on me, I would not have eaten all day. This morning I still feel chilled but was able to make it to the office. Still feeling a bit sweaty and sick but could not stay in my room for another day.

So Robin Williams made me sick……………..was it worth it????????????? Yeah Robin Williams is awesome..

Pray for the 11
