Goodbye Maurice Sendak

The world has lost another great. Maurice Sendak has died. This makes me sad on so many levels because his book Where the Wild Things Are was an absolute favorite when I was growing up. I loved the story and I loved the illustrations. I know he’s done many more things since then and he got a lot of attention when they decided to turn this book into a movie, but this is how I will remember him. I was 6, my father was reading this story to me at bedtime, and I was very happy imaging my very own place with wild things. Thank you Mr. Sendak.

Goodbye to Dick Clark

Goodbye Dick Clark. We’ve had the privilege of having you on this earth for 82 years. You became a cultural icon in our homes. It will indeed be hard to get on with the show without you.  Our New Year’s Eves will definitely never be the same again. We will also remember you for what you did for rock and roll. Music today would not have been the same without you. We will miss your smile and your cheer.

Goodbye Dick, it will indeed be hard to get on with the show without you.
