Name: Maggie, as in Smith, Gyllenhaal and May.
Birthdate: Nov. 12, 2008
Ethnicity: I'm a tweener Schnauzer. At 17 pounds, I'm a little chunkier than an average miniature (10-15 pounds) but nowhere near a standard Schnauzer (30-40 pounds).

Turn-ons: Tickets are still available for Tuesday night's taping of WWE "Smackdown" at Toyota Center. The action starts at 7 p.m. The matches will be broadcast Friday night on Spike cable channel. Lately, the WWE superstars have been chasing each other through the crowd, so there's a chance you'll be seen on television. Wear school clothes. And run a comb through your hair.
See you at the Moonlight Bicycle Ramble, starting 11:59 p.m. Saturday at the George R. Brown Convention Center downtown. It's a fun ride; no butt ache the next morning. Check out bikehouston.org for details.
Turn-offs: I'm so embarrassed. I like to keep up to date on politics. I watch both Fox News and MSNBC. I think it's important to hear both sides of a debate. I've been following local races here very closely, but until two weeks ago, I didn't know that President Barack Obama was running for governor of Texas. I'm not sure that's even legal, but I saw it plain as day in a political TV ad.
Not sure this is a turn-off, could be a turn-on. But coming soon to a supermarket near you … camel milk. The brand is Desert Farms, and the milk comes from U.S.-based camels, with photo ID so they can vote. The milk reportedly is very healthful. Best of all, you drink one glass and it holds you for six months.
Ideal home: I'm such an idiot. As a superstar midlevel media person, I get a ridiculous number of emails from people who want to be LinkedIn with me. You know, so we can network and swap business ideas. I do not want to be LinkedIn. In fact, I'm looking to be LinkedOut. I want to be the Missing Link of LinkedIn.

I never open the LinkedIn emails. I know what they say. But one arrived Wednesday with a familiar name - an old friend from Phoenix. So I opened it. And whatever happened, happened. And whatever I clicked on, I clicked on. Somehow I sent an email to EVERYBODY who ever sent a LinkedIn email to me. I was inviting them to be my LinkedIn buddy. As you know, the No. 1 problem in Houston is … everybody is a comedian around here. I spent Wednesday deleting emails from people who, as punishment, will never get to hear my brilliant business ideas.
