Boris questionnaire: 1. How did you meet Boris?
Dinner at The Wolseley in London, March 2006. A month or so before I started dating Lev... felt a bit early to be meeting a family member, but rolled with it being in London and all.. and little did I know then, that was the first of countless lively dinner conversations and delicious meals with Boris. PS - still remember the sorrel soup from that night!
2. What was the first thing that kept your attention from him?
The fact that he had an accent when Lev did not. But I could see why Boris would call Lev his "american" brother.
3. What's the craziest you saw him do?
I think when you are with Boris, when crazy things are happening, they for some reason don't seem as crazy at the time? For me it's been more of the stories I hear about Boris - like buying and selling a cow for fun in Oklahoma, wearing alligator skin shoes on the beach, making a reservation at El Bulli at least a year in advance so he didn't miss out on the experience, wearing head to toe opera quality costumes in Golden Gate Park (oh wait, was there for that!)... and I could keep going hahahaha.
4. How did you think he would look in his 50s?
Same as he looked in his 30s. (Seriously!)
5. Any memory related to "otters"?
I have never known someone whose love of otters runs so deep and for so long as Boris. Pretty sure there are still some Lontra otters stuffed animals floating around our apartment. But what is most impressive to me is how he convinced another person to love otters as much as he does and embrace their "otter" joy!
6. Three words you would use to define him...
Colorful, Thoughtful, Conversationalist
7. What are Boris' most unique qualities?
Ability to never age? :)
Out of the box thinker
Global citizen
Enduring support for brother Lev
8. What would Boris be, if he was... one food/ one country/ one song
For song, Bohemian Rhapsody comes to mind due to the name and the fun theatrical music but not sure if the story or type of music matches. But I'll stick with that since I don't really know any opera songs by name.
9. What's your last memory with Boris?
Family zoom call? :)
