The lesson I learned from Rob Reiner was to do the unexpected. Be different. Do you! I had the privilege of chatting with him last year and, of course, I had to ask about Misery. I wasn’t expecting such a thoughtful response. What a man he was. The news of his tragic passing has hit me hard, but I wanted to share this little bit of our chat. I think it’s a lesson we all could use from time to time. His memory will be for a blessing.

biggest snub ever are you serious

Heartbreak feels mediocre in a place like this
