Further Consolation Prizes...


I spent most of yesterday morning (Sunday, 9/27) scouring eBay for more Twilight Zone Magazines, and was able to add several more issues to my collection for very little money. They were acquired from a couple of different sellers over multiple auctions, so I don't have a single picture handy (how would I?). I can report, however, that my total now stands at 35 out of 60 issues acquired. I'm more than halfway there! I've decided to take a break at this point. My wife's reaction was less than trusting (I believer her words were something along the lines of "Yeah, right. Uh-huh.").

My happiest Sunday acquisition was this particular issue:


February 1984. The first issue I ever bought (remembered in detail in a previous entry). I can't wait till it arrives... it'll be like going back in time.

In any case, most of the sting from my back-to-back eBay defeats (see previous entries) is gone. I think I'm sufficiently consoled at this point. Now I can get back to anxiously awaiting TZ's 50th anniversary (four days from now!)....

I think my words were more like, "Take a break? For what, like a day or so? Yeah!" I know how you are when you are collecting something honey! It will eat at you until you have every last one. But that is part of what I love about you!

I HIGHLY doubt that my OCD behavior is part of what you love about me.
