How old?

I have watched almost every single episode of Twilight Zone ever filmed.
And that includes the less than significant ones done after Serling's passing.

The original black and white ones were the best.

There are some things I cannot avoid.
Like the morrow and work.
Lori called to remind me that I disappointed her, but also to remind me that I do have to go to work in the morning.

Love that gurl.

I do so love her.

You all must know this by now.

From time immemorial, there is only one correct side of the road to drive on --- the LEFT ...

The correct side of the road to drive on is the one where the rest of the traffic is going in the same direction as you are .....

Yep, otherwise you could get in a lot of trouble...;)

Or worse, get injured or killed from a collision.

Exactly what happened to a drunk police officer from North Chicago recently. Went the wrong way on Lake Shore Drive. Put himself in the hospital and two other people in the morgue.

I reckon it'll be some day like this......
Now jess sit back and take the story in........'bout twenty minutes or so. You'll understand just why come the parting.
I reckon Lori and I shall be just 'bout like this come a few years.

'Cept it'll be me and one of my kitties wandering 'bout the road up yonder.
I wouldn't go up no road that wouldn't let my kitty in either.
We's been a long time together, you see.
'Cordin to this here cat year ciphering thingy, my Squirrel's a young thing of 89yo.

If some day you see some mangy ol' soul and a spry young kitten pitchin' 'bout the back forty with some mousin' in mind, please do him the favor of opening the gate now, won'cha? I hear some fine, fine things are waiting for him. In the twilight zone.

And I suddenly don't feel so old anymore.

Meow.

There is something in this tale that should tell you exactly who I am.
Not Santa Clause. But his spirit.

One which wants to give and share some things with you not just on one night, but all year round.

Alas, I seem to have failed at that, and like the sad Santa Clause in this hidden corner of the Twilight Zone, I weep too.

Maybe one day, a few of you might understand me better.

The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.



(Actually, this is looking backwards. The end of the tunnel is in front of us. The oncoming train is standing still in a station, waiting for us to move; we're standing still, waiting for the train ahead to move out of the next station. Farther back, the tunnel goes under the Chicago River.)

I do hope so, Julie.

I wish that some could see past the bluster and inappropriate language I sometimes employ in my feeble attempts to express what is in my heart.
When I miss the mark, I can miss it very badly.

Case in point........
When Eric's wife Angela puts me on ignore for a quite innocent comment I made to you. And sends me such a scathing PM that it shocked even me. And that is not easy to do.

YOU understood what I meant. And really, that is all that is important to me.
You and I have some history that folks on the outside have no knowledge of.

I have nothing but love and admiration for you, gurl. And you know that.
Your recovery in the face of tragedy is something I shall never forget.

I think some others would do well to recognize that fact.

My heart and soul has been a rather open book on Seti.
A book some might not wish to read.
I have at times revealed things to you here that I would not tell to a priest.
I guess that's because I have come to trust most of you.

Sometimes, you have to grant me that in return.

Mark, I feel that you are out of order discussing your interactions with Angela K on the boards. Please stop.

Chris, my friend.
Her interaction with me was a direct result of a simple post to Julie on these boards. SHE whacked me. And seeing as how she saw fit to block me, I cannot respond to her directly.

So I felt I had to address it.

Red-x if you really are offended at my candor.

I was thinking today of the Coronation in 1953 for some odd reason, now I really do feel old. :-))

I'm told that was the first television program I saw, but I can't remember any of it.

Look, kids.
It's like this.

I have tried to share with you a lot of my life's experiences.

They were not all pretty.

Some very ugly indeed.

Have fun with this cut..it's one of the few I might share with you for a long while. I did his soundboards for a while back in about '78.

You might also remember that Alvin passed this year.

Sigh.

In those days is was 405 line B&W then it went to 625 line in 1964, and then colour in 1967.

I remember three channels BBC 1 and BBC 2 with no commericals and ITV with them. Oh and those guys that creeped around looking for those that had not bought a TV Licence. I lived in Denham, Bucks and moved back to the states in 1967.
