I'm taking some time off from this blog.... so I can work on a different blog. So I guess it's not really a sabbatical at all.
Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite TV show of all time is The Twilight Zone. No, not that cheesy 80's version, and definitely no, not that more recent piece of shit on UPN. I'm talking about the original series, which ran from 1959 to 1964 on CBS, and has been perpetually airing in syndication around the world ever since. The show celebrates its 50th anniversary THIS Friday, October 2nd. Needless to say, I'm excited as hell. I've already taken the day off from work, and I'll be immersing myself in various Zone-related activities all day long, culminating with a screening of the first episode ("Where Is Everybody?") promptly at 7:00 p.m. (technically I should be watching it at 10:00 pm, since that's the time it originally aired, but my good friend Bill Huelbig is watching it at 10:00 pm in New York, so I decided to watch it at the exact same time, adjusted for Pacific Standard Time).
What does this have to do with my blog? Well, The Twilight Zone is more than just a TV show to me. In fact, I love it so much that I've started a new blog in its honor:
My Life in the Shadow of The Twilight Zone
So that's where I'll be posting for now, since I'm pretty much consumed with All Things Zone these days. This does not spell the end for Craig's Cul-de-sac, however. After the 50th anniversary buzz wears off, I'm sure I'll have other topics to blog about... at which point I'll find my way back here.

Craig! Dude!
My quest for a "Twilight Zone" artifact has lead me to your "TZ" blog, but I couldn't for the life of me find out how to e-mail you. It seems that you're the only one on the internet who can help me.
I'm looking for a piece of artwork that appeared on the cover of "Twilight Zone Magazine." I've seen various versions of this image in different places, and am desperate to own one. The only place I know for SURE has printed it is this particular cover--I believe it was a later issue.
The image is that of a human foot, complete with ankle...however, the calf turns into a wrist, and the top of the foot is actually a human hand. I know I didn't hallucinate this, nor do I know which artist originally came up with this concept. Do you know?
I am so glad my search lead me to your blog! I am a "TZ" fan from the time I was 12, too! (I'm 42).
