By the time I had found out, it was already old news, but I felt it was worth sharing anyway. CBS News correspondent Ed Bradley passed away today at the age of 65. Bradley was diagnosed with Leukemia, which ultimately claimed his life following a nasty infection last month. I haven’t felt this saddened by the loss of a great reporter since 2003, when NBC’s David Bloom died while covering Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I downloaded Sheryl Crow’s album Wildflower last night. I have to say, the tracks are amazing to listen to. “Good Is Good” is one that I’ve skipped, though, when listening to the album thoroughly. It just doesn’t seem to “fit” with the rest of the album. My new favorite track is “Lifetimes” which is a brilliant example of how lyric and melody go together (like John Mayer’s “Vultures” or Keane’s “Crystal Ball“).

In addition to all that, I took new pictures for MySpace and Facebook after getting out of the shower. My hair was still drying, so it was in a wild state (it usually is anyway–I haven’t picked up a comb in God only knows how long). Out of the twenty or so photos I took, I only found maybe two or three I actually liked, and only one that I ultimately ended up using.
