    Such genuine, comfortable affection between them and I love how Leonard insisted on reading his poem right then and there... and how naturally well he did so. He's so affirming of everyone he meets... and, as we see here, knows.
    Loved his thumb wrestling account and his humour with regard to Kristoferson.
    Wonderful footage of Leonard in a friendship comfort zone. He's so at ease... as seemingly always. This is a treasure.

    My ex, in the late 1960s, used to encounter and talk with Leonard in some park in lower Westmount. A few times they went together from there to Schwatrz's for lunch. She told me, and I believed her, that Leonard wasn't her type. She just liked discussing literature with him.

      I always thought he was very good looking, as a man looking at a man, but my ex was a little weird. She had to be to fall in love with an impoverished used bookstore owner who, frankly, in his own opinion, didn't have much going on in the way of looks.
      But Leonard has left us, and for the past couple of days I've been crying off an on, bittersweet tears that have more to do with joy than sadness. I started reading his poetry about 1965. I've been listening to his songs for almost 50 years. He has enriched my life more than anyone else I can think of.
