"I have nothing now but praise for my life. I'm not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more. ... What I dread is the isolation. ... There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready."

Oh wow, RIP Mr. Sendak. Thank you for freeing up the minds and spirits of children and human beings everywhere.
I just read Night Kitchen to the kids at bedtime last night, for the who-knows-how-manyth time? Tonight we'll do Wild Things, for sure.

His interview with Colbert is one of my favourite things I've seen on TV recently. Such an awesome dude, RIP.
