Day 143 Lynn and Geoffrey

May 29
Day 143


Lynn's reflections did not make it to the Blog on Thursday evening. The dude is one busy man and all of Wednesday and Thursday he was carrying out the multitude of requests volleyed his way. Our games always begin  Love - Love. By the time he is finished with my volleys the score reflects his win. Lynn simply never stops. However, he did stop to write his response to my prompt: When I think of Geoffrey, in time to make the display for Thursday evening

The similarities between Lynn and Geoff are many. Geoff is Lynn and Lynn is Geoff. It has always been uncanny.  Between the two of them, there is nothing they can not create!

Lynn's Ode to Geoff:

"To know Geoffrey is to love him. He is free spirited and has an easy going sense about him, yet is very determined and aggressively pursues the things that interest him. When he has an idea of something he would like to do or try, he will research it relentlessly until he has a thorough understanding. And he is usually very good at whatever he puts his mind to.

Throughout any given day, it is not unusual to hear a variety of accents coming from Geoffrey, perhaps Russian, Irish, or British. And the spontaneous standup comedy routines late at night. Or how he has been schooling us ever since a very young age on dance moves. So much laughter! he loves the performing arts and acting. And is always eager to sit and watch a movie or documentary.  Nor is it unusual to find him advancing through many levels of a newly released video gam.

Geoffrey is a gentle giant. Solid and strong but with a tender core that houses a level of sensitivity that you might not expect at first glance. This leads him to have the strength be brutally honest in conversations and confront wrongs or misunderstanding head on.

And I'm not sure you could find a more loyal friend. He loves his family and friends deeply and it shows. It is an honor to know him.

Now if we could just find a way to wake him up in the morning...!!!!"
