"It was like the scratching of a pen,//The silence of the night writing in its diary." -- Charles Simic, from "Factory"

Thank You and Good Night
"My formula for success has three elements: the talent you're given, the hard work you do to get better at whatever it is that you do, and a certain amount of luck. And I always found that the harder I worked, the better my luck was, because I was prepared for that. I will not go into a story unprepared. I will do my homework, and that's something I learned at an early age."
We lost one of the most polished and professional men in the world today, Ed Bradley of CBS News. I'm feeling bereft.
Thank you Mr Bradley for the years of reports and interviews -- and for showing us how to age with grace, beauty, and style. Just about every Black man I know wanted to be (or at least look like) Ed Bradley when we grew up (and we're still working on it!)
