In review of childhood baseball cards, the Comic Relief and the Homelessness work of R.W.


Robin Williams testified with Whoopi Goldberg (and Billy Crystal’s headshot) in support of an act that would create a system of support services for the chronically homeless – people he called “America’s refugee nation”. The act funded mental health services and housing-based support centres. Later that year, a related homelessness act passed. Tonight I accidentally discovered my old childhood baseball card collection box in an abandoned family closet. Mork from Ork stickers all over it. Will be yet another sleepless night. r.i.p. R.
