He was good friends with Rob Reiner. Then his close friend Catherine O'Hara and now this. I feel for him.

of time. I went through it 4 years ago with multiple losses over two months, then additional losses over the next two years. The comfort of friends helps.

It was only three hours ago I mentioned to my wife that I would LOVE to see Jiminy Glick interview fRump (not that it would ever happen, of course. Even a 'fake' one would be great). How sad.

And we've been totally enjoying "Only Murders in the Building".
