RIP Maurice Sendak

[Jamie Hogan]

And [he] sailed back over a year
and in and out of weeks
and through a day
and into the night of his very own room
where he found his supper waiting for him




and it was still hot.

It's too bad he died before he heard the President state his message on gay marriage. 

[Jeanette Cheezum]

It was always hot, because he was a good boy. :)

Colbert ran out takes from the interviews tonight.  Worth watching if you liked these.

I jusdt watched the Sendak/Colbert interviews. Did you hear him go off on Newt Gingrich? I love that man.

@Bill Floyd ~ I almost peed on myself.  That was so funny.  What a great guy.  And who knew he was gay?  I've never known a children's book writer to be gay, not that it matters but, will conservative parents stop buying his books now?  Funny, funny clip and now I have to buy every one of his books.

Higgledy-piggledy pop.

His joy will never stop.

Hi friends. Robert's comment motivated me to clarify a little further, because some may not realize - these are not my words. They are the last six lines of Where The Wild Things Are, Sendak's most famous work, and the book that first inspired me to write.

[Robert Crisman]

This was a nice tribute, very Sendak-like. I'd never heard of him until today. Thanks for this.

[Stephen Torelli]

Great job, Jamie.
