[The Rez]

OK, Char - here's the skinny . . .

First Off:

Robin's music and show were Magnificent - I expected nothing less
The Music is in Good Hands, indeed

Second Off:

Aftershow, while everyone else was doing The Mingle-Mingle thing,
Robin got stuck up against a brightly lit wall for The Foto Op thing.

[Remember, I hadn't seen Robin since he was 10yrs old]

My turn . . . side-by-side, I mentioned I'd been his Daddy's assistant
some 20+ yrs earlier. I spoke of how I'd take him and brother Brennan,
along with my the then-young boys, to Magic Mountain.

Robin turned to me, eyes Big-Wide, and gleefully said,
"You're the 'Clickety-Clack Guy . . . ! I still do that now!"

[followed by a boyish bone-breaking bear hug]

I'd given my boys a roller-coaster slogan. When Colossus would drag us
up toward the The Big ZoomDown, the ratchet sound was *loud*
. . . and scary.

I'd holler: OH NO . . . ! THE DREADED CLICKETY-CLACK . . . !

Robin and Brennan quicky joined into the ritual.
Makes this Ol' Man smile to know The Silly Boys endure . . .

Third Up

Most of all, I was proud - proud of Robin the Man . . .

Blessings,
