"I hope you are all having a great summer so far," said Stegosaurus. "I had a nice surprise I wasn't expecting, and the summer isn't even half over yet! I have been patiently waiting several years now for Marilyn Maxwell to return from her USO tour with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, and it looks like this year was the year! We even had our picture taken together, a moment I have been waiting millions of years for!"

"Well come to think of it, maybe it was only 44 years, some time not too long ago. It was some time between now, and the last time that big meteor hit .... but it has been a very long time. I was going to bring her some marigolds, but I ate them before she arrived, just as I did before. I eat when I'm anxious, you know," swooned the lovestruck plate lizard.

"I would have taken her to dinner at the Four Seasons Courtyard, but I ate it all on my birthday. Sigh. I was so smitten I plain forgot to ask her how Bob and Bing are doing, and even Jack Benny I haven't seen many of my old friends in so long. Not Dean Martin, or Frank Sinatra either. Being an entertainer sure is busy work, they have no time to visit anymore. It is all for a good cause though so I don't mean to complain, after all, I hear them on the radio and see them on TV ALL the time. I have seen Marilyn Maxwell, though, and it has really helped make this summer a very special one."
