• Marketing With The Wailers

   

  Drew & Christine left early this morning, and took a piece of my ♥ with them!   Thank goodness polygamy is accepted in Utah!  They'll be visiting me in West Hollywood in March, which I'm already looking forward to.  Here are just a few "iPhone" photos to post today (take that Bassam!).  We went to Portland Saturday Market (open on Sundays thru Christmas) today.  My college roommate Perry has a photography stand there and is an amazing artist.  I haven't seen him in over 5 years.  We had a short visit, but we're going out to dinner tomorrow.  Tonight we went to Trader Joe's and made a nice dinner at home.  Marcelo & Tom serenaded us with everything from Bob Marley to Moulin Rouge.  Tom, Cathy and Patrick are leaving tomorrow unfortunately, and then there were 3...(5 if you count Wiley & Marble).    I hope everyone has a great week! --Carey

  I'm reposting the pics, because the iPhone module was causing script errors for some folks:

  Coastal Contemplation

  No trip to Oregon would be complete without a visit to one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.  After a week of crisp cool weather and a highly unusual amount of sunshine, we encountered rain and just a hint of snow on our trek west.  That didn't deter us though, and just before sunset, the skies suddenly started to clear and I was able to stand on the beach with my good friends and contemplate how much I have to be thankful for.
  
  It was one year ago today that James Kim and his family became stranded in the Oregon wilderness in the southern part of this state.  His widow Kati, granted an interview recently, and I thought it appropriate to link here.  James Kim seemed like a great man indeed.
  

  Kati Kim breaks her silence to tell a story of survival.  (Part 1 of 2)

  On Saturday, 25 November, 2006 Kati Kim, her husband James and their two daughters were traveling home after having spent the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday in Seattle, Washington.  They were on their way to the Tu Tu Tun Lodge, located near Golden Beach, Oregon, when they missed their turnoff from U.S. Interstate 5 onto Oregon Route 42.  Instead of turning back, James and Kati decided to take a secondary route which they believed would lead them to the Oregon coast and their destination.

  Soon – due to high snows and increasingly bad weather – the Kim family found themselves stranded in a remote area of southwestern Oregon; though, both Kati and James believed their location to be mere miles from the nearest town and that imminent help would arrive to assist them.  This was not to be the case.  Read more...
  And read Part 2.

  I think this is my favorite photo of the trip so far.  Drew looking contemplative.
