Lisadora Shares Her Geoff Memoirs

I have 3 FUNNY BIG MEMORIES of this man.

1. MEETING GEOFF: Carol and I were back stage ready to sing with the McGill University Women's Choir. I was wearing my ugly black plazo pants and an over-sized white blouse and Carol was wearing, most likely, the same. I remember a bushman amidst all the women in the choir. And Carol introduced me to the man who had been whisking her away on weekends. This mystery man who played classical guitar and loved to cook had stolen her heart...

2. Smoking with Geoff: Geoff and I enjoyed siting on the fire escape of various Montreal apartments smoking cigars. He taught me that I SHOULD NOT inhale. We let the smoke circle in rings above our heads into the night sky as the snow fell and enjoyed quiet conversation.

3. Watching Geoff do a dance in his underwear on our Vancouver apartment floor: Carol and Geoff vacationed to Vancouver before Ivy was born. Actually, come to think of it, exactly nine months before Ivy was born. Probably even EXACTLY the number of days it takes to grow a baby. Hmmm.. Anyway, Sarah and I both came home really late from work, and there was Geoff in his striped boxers in our living room, relaxing with Carol who was wearing her pajamas. We sat around chatting, and Geoff seemed in a particularly god mood that afternoon... (???) I fact, he seemed REALLY happy about something... He was in such a good mood and was so excited to see us (or so excited about something) that he began to do a floor dance on top of his sleeping bag. He thrusted his hips to the right and the left. He wiggled his hips and smiled and he did his goofy pelvic dance. He had had a really fun, productive afternoon in our apartment. And nine months later, Carol and Geoff's first daughter was born.
