    I’m going to miss this show so much… Once, mid-week during a morning at a place in Hermosa Beach, Larry David sat next to me at the next table. There were maybe two other people in the restaurant. He was alone, just enjoying his coffee. I really wanted to tell him I’m a huge fan and so on, but I was too starstruck. Before I could gather the courage to approach him, he had already finished his coffee and left. I like to think we shared a nice, quiet coffee together. I think it’s better this way; he might have been annoyed if I had approached him. RIP Richard Lewis
