Another year down, 10 left to go. It's the only thing that passes my mind on new years. But if the Mayans have their way it'll be the last. Whatever. My favorite New Years memory is back in '88 or so. My mom and I were living with my grandparents and the annual Twilight Zone marathon was on. We could've watched on their big old color Zenith console T.V., but we decided the 8 inch black and white in the kitchen/dining room, with the lights out also. The ambient feel while we all sat around amazed by 30 year old reruns can't be duplicated. Since being in prison I got my T.V. and the first show I watched was coincidentally the Twilight Zone. At night, on Syfy, in the dark. now every year on New Years I try to recapture that feeling. Yes, I know every episode and all their twists. That's beside the point. It's my "It's a Wonderful Life" every year. As I write this, William Shatner is freaking out over "some---thing, on the...wing!" Good times! Happy New Year from our little Twilight Zone.
