Oh Shit: For Jim

















I lost my dear, amazing friend Jim this week and in going through hundreds of his emails I came across this picture from him simply titled "Oh Shit". Still makes me laugh every time.

I was lucky to have known Jim. My words will never express what he meant to me, so I leave you with much better words, HIS words:

"Wow, Katy.

Until just a few seconds ago I'd been operating under the assumption that my own childhood had been the most irregular of all.

That detailed description of you exsanguinating the pickles with a drinking straw... I feel like I just saw you naked, but in a not sexy way. More like I walked in on you attending to a large, inflamed hemorrhoid.

Very troubling indeed. I'm eager to hear more."

Ahhhhhh Jim. I love you and I miss you terribly.
Katy

To really read how wonderful he was and how much we all miss him:

I remember when he left this comment. I wanted to write something for your inaugural post, but I thought to myself, "how the hell do I follow that!?" and didn't even try. Such a way with words. He will be missed. I hope y'all are laughing and crying remembering him this weekend.
