Thrive or Survive

January 31, 2015August 23, 2017 / Writings By Rosemary / 1 Comment

Rains falls down in Austin today, allowing me to continue my dedicated procrastination towards the obvious weed pulling and mulch spreading needed in the front lawn.  Every day I am reminded of all the outside work my husband did when he was still alive; and, every day that it rains is a chance for me to … Continue reading Thrive or Survive

Hook Plaid Shirt Story

November 25, 2014April 13, 2018 / Writings By Rosemary / 5 Comments

In defense of myself, I never expected the absence of the plaid shirts would mean so much.  I figured that by the time I’d gotten around to fessing up to Allan -- 20 or 30 years later -- how and when they disappeared in 2011 that so much time would have passed that he would … Continue reading Hook Plaid Shirt Story

Live Forever

November 17, 2014November 16, 2015 / Writings By Rosemary / 6 Comments

Today I will spread the last of Hook’s ashes. In the movies when a person does this, it's made to seem as though ashes are but a cup full maybe two. The reality is that a human body cremated produces more than four liters of ashes.  I only know this because I dropped off four, one … Continue reading Live Forever

A Pilgrimage of Milestones

August 14, 2014April 19, 2016 / Writings By Rosemary / 16 Comments

In two weeks, I'll be on a plane to Australia. Someone said that I was taking a pilgrimage but I've realized that this entire year has been nothing but a pilgrimage of milestones.  The first birthdays, the first holidays, the first trip back to the Texas coast, our anniversary in June which by the way is not … Continue reading A Pilgrimage of Milestones

All Things Must Pass

January 29, 2014December 13, 2016 / Writings By Rosemary / 14 Comments

            Even though I haven’t posted a blog since December, I have been writing like a mad woman.  Today I write from a condo on the Texas coast in Port Aransas having arrived Sunday night.  The plan is to spend the rest of this week focused on cranking out the … Continue reading All Things Must Pass

When the Epilogue Comes First

December 22, 2013April 22, 2021 / Writings By Rosemary / 3 Comments

Sometimes we have to finish writing the ending of one story before we can begin writing the beginning of a new one.  A year ago today, I was at the hospital to pick up Hook after a three-week, post surgery stay.  Absolutely nothing since that time has turned out the way I'd expected, and mostly … Continue reading When the Epilogue Comes First

Hook Story: Dr. Hook is Ruining My Life

November 11, 2013June 19, 2014 / Writings By Rosemary

Last night, I hosted a mini Hookabration, a celebration of Hook's life, for the entomologists who are in Austin for the annual ESA conference.  Five different hymenopterists shared heartfelt stories of their relationship with Hook -- how he influenced their lives, what he meant to them as a friend and colleague -- with 30 other … Continue reading Hook Story: Dr. Hook is Ruining My Life
