This Week's Letter from an Astronaut

Tweet

My late husband and my best friend is a retired astronaut.. He writes he keeps meaning to slow down, will be 72 this August, but has not yet. Last month included consulting or speaking engagements in all four corners of the world. He mentioned he often thinks of Abalone fishing with Brian in the Pacific Ocean; I had never cooked it before but managed to serve our combined households some mighty tender deliciousness. We both retain very fond memories of those years above Malibu at Pt. Mugu. We held block parties once a month, everyone bringing their favorite dishes to share, the kids of all ages played games in the common green around our party areas. Most of all, I miss Brian.
