I was in the supermarket tonight, and I saw a 50ish year old woman stop in her tracks and walk over to a magazine rack. She picked up the People magazine with Robin Williams' smiling face on the cover and kind of contemplated it for a moment. She then kissed Robin's forehead, hugged the magazine to her bosom for a moment, and put it back on the rack, letting hand linger on his face for a second as she walked away.

No one else saw her do this, and she hadn't seen me watching her. She had a look of such pain on her face. I'm not sure why, but it really hit me in the gut.

Behind me, my six year old daughter was singing "fart fart fart-fart, fart fart FART-FART" to the tune of "Farmer in the Dell". It was an odd contrast.
