12. October 1959- October 1999The Twilight Zone’s 50th Anniversary "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. 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." - Rod Serling On a Friday night in October 1959, Americans began slipping into a dimension of imagination as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. They've really never returned.

58. Encourage people who know you to send you things that relate to your interests.

59. Attend conferences. I encourage you to find a friend here today who shares your interests. It's not just about the "what" you learn here today but also about the "who".

60. Look for websites/blogs/twitter feeds/ listserves that will deliver a steady stream of information to you. How are we ever supposed to keep up with all of the changing technology?

61. Happy Trails to You! Some trails are happy ones, Others are blue. It's the way you ride the trail that counts, Here's hoping a happy one for you. Happy Trails to you, until we meet again!
