Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 11:11PM Composer/Lyricist Jason Robert Brown has found a way to honor all 26 victims who were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School by listing their names in his song, "TWENTY-SIX NAMES." Gone too soon. We will never forget!

Legendary comedian Phyllis Diller passed away today at the age of 95. An icon in the world of comedy, Ms. Diller started her comedy career at the age of 37, paving the way for two generations of female comics. In addition to comedy, she made appearances on numerous variety shows on television, painted, wrote books, and starred in a few movies.
I will always remember that famous laugh that went hand in hand with Ms. Diller as well as her guest starring role on "Scooby-Doo" (I know out of the things she did this is what I remember, but for me, growing up, that was a memorable episode).
Thank you Phyllis for the many years of laughter and joy!
