I've decided I'm not busy enough, so I may get going on grad school this summer quarter, starting June 23, if I get get the finances together in time.

I was notified today that they could bump my admissions up if I wanted to get a jumpstart. Might as well, right?

I'm also trying to work out a trip with Scott to Puerto Vallarta the weekend before school starts. We'll see how this shakes out...

The Desert Sun reports, via Gramps, that Palm Desert's premiere meat market, South Beach Nightclub, has closed its doors.

"It was not immediately clear why the Palm Desert, Calif., club shut its doors. Financial reasons, of course, are often the primary cause.

However, the word around town via the 20-something chicks, is that the club actually "peaked' more than a year and a half ago when men-about-town, Paolo Mottola Jr. and Scott Chaffee, from Seattle, spent a memorable evening there. Their inability to return to the club (due to European travels and marriage, respectively) undoubtedly started the down-hill spiral to it's closure last Thursday."

Something tells me Gramps altered the original report...

For those of you out of the loop, South Beach was the location where Scott and I ran sick game nearly two years ago. You can read the original post about our adventures here.

So yeah, I know I've been posting a lot of photos lately, but a picture's worth a thousand words, right? I'm also super busy with a photography right now (a good thing) and that seeps into the blog content. Deal with it.

I'm working on finishing an engagement set for my friend, coworker and occasional blog reader, David, and his fiance. We went out shooting a couple weekends ago under some less than favorable conditions. Nevertheless, we got some great shots. Here are some favorites:

WIB readers, meet Colby Jack Puppy -- Nina and David's new dog.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Ole!

I would take this time to say something really cool in Spanish, but I all I remember from my two years of high school Spanish classes are "Me llamo Paolo" and "Arroz con pollo."
