Maurice

And when he came to the place where the Wild Things are...One of my
favorite authors passed away earlier today. Maurice Sendak was 83.
Where the Wild Things Are is his best known and most loved book which
was also made into a great movie several years ago. It is also the
basis for my first tattoo, which was brought to life by the amazing
artistic abilities of Amanda Sanchez. I don't know how many hundreds
of times I have read that book to the kids over the years. I have
given it as gifts to countless families. Someday I hope to share it
with my grandkids. My only regret is not sending a photo of my tattoo
to Mr. Sendak and asking for an autograph. I hope wherever he his
tonight his supper is waiting for him. And it's still hot.
