MICHAEL MANNING'S OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF SUMMER!
A Date with the Judge?Judge Marilyn Milian
All rise!...Please be seated. Yesterday afternoon, I received an e-mail from a reader in Finland (of all places) asking if I had received a response to my Blog Post of April 28th ("Top 10 Blogs of April Past" #3). For those of you who missed it, this was a tongue-in-cheek countdown of 10 Blog Posts that I randomly selected from my years of Blogging. It just so happened that "Number 3" involved the recounting of a hilarious dream I had about four years ago involving Judge Marilyn Milian, who presides over television's "The People's Court". A friend of mine suggested that I mail a copy to her. For the record, ( no pun intended) I did compose a nice cover letter to Judge Milian. This Blog Post was a humorous poke at myself, and of course I just couldn't pass up that opportunity. So, to answer the reader's question in Finland: So far, I have not received a reply from Marilyn. However, I have relied on good counsel who informed me that the Judge has a wonderful sense of humor, and yes--had a good laugh at it. You are more than welcomed to "relive the dream" by going back to my April 28, 2009 posting, and remember. "Mi Casa Es Su Casa"! Moving right along...
Gabrielle Anwar This photo of Gabrielle Anwar reminds me that (a.) there is a God, and (b.) not all people over 39 are jaded! That said, I have not seen the television show "Burn Notice" yet. But as soon as time permits, I'll gladly watch an episode.

Secondly, I'm pleased to announce that for me, Summer Officially begins today and extends through the last day of September. You may ask: "Why?" Well, my timing was deliberately undertaken to allow we romantics (who are not jaded, by the way) more time for...well, romance! Also as a kid, I considered June, July and August "Summer". As an adult, I get to add on an extra month. Next...a new topic...
Dog lovers: How many times have you been out driving your car when this scene appears in the vehicle ahead of you? Clearly, dogs love to have the wind in their face. This is an adventure, of course!
But in Michael Manning's car? We "ride" like this (see photo above). It's just safer, that's all. And you can still have one or more windows unrolled just in case you stop at a Red light with a dog seated in the adjacent car; they can exchange greetings. This is not my dog, by the way. I was dog-sitting yesterday for a friend of mine so she could go hiking in Sedona.
Checking out the neighborhood...
Unsafe at any speed: Once in a while I see this scenario, where a dog is dangerously at risk for falling out of a moving car or truck. But even once is too often. On a lighter note...
In the spirit of welcoming Summer, this pooch is prepared for Monday, June 1st!MAY THIS BE YOUR
BEST SUMMER EVER!

It's summer?
Dammit. That means winter.
D-Man: No wait! You can improvise. (ALL: Go over to D-Man's site right now and listen to his latest work tape. It is very cool!). :)
if you're going to stick your head out the window, goggles should be mandatory.
walking the dog in sedona sounds like what paradise must be like. exept for having to take a plastic glove along to pick up the "mess."
I have a court date on Thursday and it doesn't matter who the judge is - I'm nervous as whatever the opposite of 'nerves of steel' is. I'll let you know who my judge is. And I'll post my story Thursday night.
That's one judge I like!
Seraphine: She was in Sedona hiking. I was left behind with the plastic glove! :D)
Martini: I'm not sure how to respond to this until I hear from Marilyn. Maybe she'll respond before Thursday! In any event, I'll drop by later to see what's up! Wishing you good fortune!!!
Captain: Actually, I do too because a sense of humor goes a long way! :)
Burn Notice is a fun series, I have found some of the better series on
Cable.
Wouldn't it be fun if we could all ride with our heads out the window? :D
Green Tea: Yes! I'll try this on a side street with my new goggles purchased from a puppy store last night. They fit, and what's more I'll have my CD of "Working Class Dog" in the car's CD player for inspiration. Love and (((HUGS))) for your humour, GT!! :)
I don't strap my dogs in b/c they're so little that I figured it won't help them much anyway. I do let my terrier stick his head ou the window b/c he can barely get it over the child-restraint height so he doesn't have any leverage to hoist himself out.
Becky: You have very nice puppies with personality! They are very cool! :D)
