Twilight Zone



It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

as well as director and producer. Never get tired of the reruns. And today he would have volumes of material to work with.

The little boy Anthony from the episode "It's a Good Life" reminds me of trumpy so much!

in the '70s when I waited on him and his students in an Italian Restaurant.

He was soooo Cool!

Only fitting I found myself up close and personal with the creator of the Twilight Zone.

I lived in Gainesville too....and worked at the Sovereign restaurant in the early 80's.

I waited on Robin Williams (after Gator Growl), Buddy Ebsen (after he received a honorary degree) and Sally Field (during a fundraiser for the Hippodrome Theater - her brother was a UF prof).

Most fun job I ever had.

And, Wow.. all the celebrities who you waited on!

Sovereign looks like a nice place! I googled.. Gino's Italian Restaurant is no longer. But, it was some of the best Italian food I ever ate!

Rod Serling left me $50 and I got his autograph for the Hostess. He also called the restaurant later that night and asked if I would like to come to this other place and have a drink with him and his friends. I wanted to.. but I was married.. at time. Shucks!

By the time I took my daughter up there to go to school in 2009 everything I knew was gone. Barmegeddon! UF is now a serious school with rankings to contend with. LOL

I'm not a sports fan, but my wife, son, and son-in-law make up for my absence. They were whooping and carrying on for the longest during that game.

The worst is during basketball season and with me being an HSP, it's rare for me to get a day of peace in my cave.

But hey, it keeps them out of trouble (as long as I can keep them away from Louisville fans)....

It spells our how Putin, Trump, Fox, and the religious right are destroying and taking over America.

It’s down right prophetic.
