Friends,

Today I leave for San Francisco to staff meetings at CTIA for work. I'll be back Wednesday evening. I'll be staying at the W Hotel downtown. Postings here may be frequent or few depending on how busy I am.

Arrivederci,
Paolo

P.S. Dumbledore is gay.

Trivia: Which one is Katrine, and which is an orange tabby?

I think I'll be working 80 hours this week and I need a break! I haven't even had time to tell y'all about my weekend!

On Saturday, I rolled up to beautiful Bellingham, Wash. Nina was excited to see me.

Shortly after we left the apartment for dinner, I took this really cool picture of Nina:

We had an excellent Thai dinner at Jimmy's in downtown Bellingham and then saw "We Own the Night," a very good action movie with Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Walberg and Eva Mendes. After the movie, we went to Boundary Bay, where I taught Nina and David the nuances of beer drinking.

I came back to Seattle early on Sunday, and Jenny came over to the Burrow in the morning to kick it. Lo and behold, she and Moos were dressed down in nearly the exact same outfit. (See left). Moos later changed into a different set of scrubby clothes before we left for the Ballard Farmer's Market (See below).

My beard was in full effect, too.

After the market, I rolled down south to golf with Scott and Dad. Moos and Jenny went to Fremont, where Moos paid a young boy at the Farmer's Market there $1 for a temporary tattoo.

After golf, I spent the rest of the evening watching the Seahawks (lose) and playing Halo 3 with Andy. Not a bad weekend.

Did I not ask you people if anything major happened while I was in Italy? Did I not?

All of you failed to tell me that Jenna Fischer (of 'The Office') is back on the market. After all I do for you people -- providing mostly pointless news and personal tidbits... And no one can tell me that my TV crush is single? What a slap in the face. I'd really be angry if it wasn't for this being such good news and Jenna's radiant beauty.

Like Picasso had his blue phase, I'm in my blonde phase right now, but Jenna, I'll make an exception for you. You know how to contact me on MySpace.
