So, I'm still following the Kim case, as every day new information unfolds that shocks me to the core. That said, Kati recently posted a reply on Yelp that made me feel better. I hate that someone who has lost something so great could make ME feel BETTER! How ridiculous. I can't talk about it anymore, because there has been a moratorium on it at our house.
I will blab about pleasant things.
Like the fact there is a lull in my work right now, so I can peruse the internet at will today.
Like the fact that my daughter pads out into the dining room all sleepy-eyed and cute looking for me because she NEEDS TO BE WITH ME AWAKE before I leave for the day. Very rarely is this kid still sleeping when I leave. She MUST be in my arms for Banana Time. And Make A Bottle Time. And Nunu time. Fat chance that, my attempts to wean. Almost 16 months, and she can STILL get me to pull out my boobs at a restaurant for silencio.
Aw little droobage, I loves you so much.

Awww! What a cute beanie!!!
What did Kati say? And what's shocking you now? I read that he actually walked 16 miles, and they were not 1 mile from a lodge as previously thought.
(Heh. You don't have a moratoruim with me!)

I was shocked that the owner of the black bar lodge had seen tire tracks, called the emergency services offices to report them (the road was supposed to be inaccessible) and when he didn't get an answer, he checked it out himself, but could only go so far with his snowmobile. He kept calling the ES office about searching that road. The SARs who were ON that stretch noticed the open gate and called it in, and were told THE OWNER OF THE BLACK BAR LODGE CLEARED THE ROAD. So they ignored it. They would have been found sooner, he would not be dead. The woman serving at the head of the Emergency Services, the one who has been quoted all over saying they did everything right, should be canned. Possibly punched in the face a few times. She blatantly ignored a VALID LEAD. That's shocking. I get so mad thinking about it...

Dear Yelpers,
Difficult as it has been, my inability to sleep has forced me to pry myself from between my two sleeping babes each morning to read stories and view pictures of our terrible affair on the Internet. As much as I've been scared of dealing with the media, reading about my husband's heroic efforts and seeing pictures of him has helped me immensely.
Reading all of your kind thoughts and prayers this morning has given me much strength.
Even though I first joined Yelp only to defend the family business against nay-sayers, I felt that I had become a part of a community and I poured a lot of heart and soul into writing about my experiences around the city with my husband and my children. I am so grateful to have had this forum, because now I can go back and read about our times together.
I believe that the family businesses my husband and I started together were a gift to me. I'm not quite confident of my ability to run them in his absence, but I have an amazing group of friends/staff who are working their hardest to keep these stores alive. Late last night I visited Church Street Apothecary and saw all the flowers, candles and notes which symbolized the grief and sympathy from our community. James would've been so proud.
Out of respect for him and what we created together, we will be re-opening both businesses on Monday. The girls at the stores and I have all agreed that this is what James would've wanted.
xo,
Kati Kim

He was buried last weekend in Oakland in a small, private, quiet ceremony.

Oh, god, I feel so awful for her. I guess, especially with little kids, you just keep living your life, doing whatever you have to in this minute, and then the next minute . . . but I still think I would lose my mind.
