Well, here it is, the day we all wait for, for many reasons!
If you’re like me, besides the day off so close to other days off, you’re checking out the DVR, test running it, giving it practice runs by recording other shows more and more, and of longer and longer duration you’re not gonna watch, only to delete them, polishing the box (make sure you lift the box and also get the top and bottoms), running diagnostics, and generally sweet talking the heck out of it, telling it how wonderfully it’s been performing for you the past year. “Flight testing” all the remotes, and hiding them (and the instruction manuals for non-remote control of the DVR) from all other family members. You might even <choking back a tear, here…> buy it a present. Like a wireless router <excuse me…I need a moment…>.
Why?
Three words: Twilight Zone marathon, baby!
Okay, four.
Some of the best television ever. And right now, recording away are many, many DVRs. And the winners in this marathon…are the viewers (okay, and I’m sure the Serling estate and the SyFy channel).
We are all winners in this marathon. Yes, you can actually say “we’re all winners,” and not get body slammed into the nearest wall by the competitive of us. So, go ahead, there’s still time, it’s just started! Set your DVRs, Edward, you know you want to—and enjoy the run!
Just make sure to hydrate-hydrate-hydrate!

This is so important it bears dual-coverage in my blogs! DVR, baby, DVR!
That’s the best way to bring in the new year!
Don’t you know it! And had I not been sick the past four days, I’d be off today, too! :-]
Thanks for stopping by!
Twilight Zone: Still (and always) #1 on my “Desert Island” list.
Happy New Year! 😀
No argument with one with the Vampire Syndrome. Uh-huh. :-]
Nicely done as always, Frank! Only correction to the “winners” part: The “Serling estate” isn’t getting any richer via TZ marathons. CBS is. Serling sold his rights to the series to the network many years ago, never dreaming it would live on in lucrative reruns ad infinitum. Too bad he didn’t have a time machine, a la TZ, eh?
