Wow.
I woke up this morning to check the news and found out that both John Ritter and Johnny Cash died.
John Ritter died yesterday while filming his TV Show '8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter' of an undetected heart problem. It was pretty sudden, so it was a surprise to everyone. He was only 54 years old. I had loved him as a child in Three's Company (and in Three's a Crowd), and was so happy to see him back on television.
Johnny Cash died earlier this morning from complications from diabetes. He was a country star best known for hits like "I Walk the Line" and "A Boy Named Sue". I may not be a big fan of country, but like John Ritter, I've known Johnny Cash all my life, and he truly is a musical legend.
What a sad, sad way to start out the day!

John Ritter, though - that's like an old friend dying! I nearly drove off the road in shock when I heard that on NPR this morning. So sad. :(
