i just read that maurice sendak died this morning.  i only knew him as a quirky children's book author until i watched this two part interview on the colbert report in january.  this man was HILARIOUS and not afraid to speak his mind.  and he speaks the TRUTH.  had i not seen this interview, i don't think his death today would have hit me as hard as it is.

if you haven't seen these videos, you owe it to yourself to spend the time watching them.  DO IT.
