Or Avalon could hire a barber to visit and also cut his hair. To be fair, we do not know what Avalon can afford.

Why do you need to stand up when you shave? Do the best you can and then check the mirror.

Rita and her husband, Orson Welles established a restaurant in Big Sur with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. I ate there in the 1990s. Restaurant is Nepenthe ARCHIVES | 1985 AN ENCLAVE IN BIG SUR By JOSEPH GIOVANNININOV. 10, 1985 Cut into mountains that dive operatically into the Pacific, California Route 1 presents consistently sweeping vistas of Big Sur, about 150 miles south of San Francisco - down the coast to a succession of spurs, up the sides of the mountains and out to the vast, swelling ocean. Subtle for its shifts in color, especially at sunset, the Big Sur landscape is nonetheless awesome for its scale. At Castro Canyon, just south of the hilltop cottage where Orson Wells and Rita Hayworth lived in the 1940's, the highway turns inland, and Big Sur folds in on itself in what is, for this coast, an unusual moment of intimacy. Even though forested with 200-foot redwoods, the canyon is close; a stream at the bottom of a deep V separates two hillsides that are 50 yards apart at the level of the highway. It is here that Helmut Deetjen, a Norwegian immigrant, and his wife, Helen, settled in the early 1920's, when the highway was a dirt road. He built a small wood-frame, redwood-sided home in the canyon, with a pitched roof, in a style that recalled that of his homeland. When travelers came along, Mr. Deetjen invited them to stay over, and Mrs. Deetjen offered meals; gradually the small house became an inn, and the inn, a local tradition. Mr. Deetjen added on as the years passed, always with the same all-wood buildings. There was no master plan, just a casual string of free-standing houses settled in the canyon - and Mr. Deetjen's intimate touch. He named each cabin, and even tatooed the cottages with homilies by burning words into wood plaques - one reads, ''Open from Dawn to Dusk but not always awake.''

You now have two threads on this page with the word I in the title. The other: I have ordered a walker. What's up?

Any book by the ditzy author, Patrick Dennis, except the photos in the hilarious movie star autobiography, "Little Me"

I have not watched any TV in months, since moving to a new apartment in late June. I have many Blu-ray disc, so needed to buy a player. I am seeing Jonas Kaufmann in a Puccini opera on the afternoon of October 27. The opera will be broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera in NY and may be available on DVD in the future.

I completely agree. But, I took buses from the port authority in late 1960s and early 1970s, 42th Street was dangerous at night and even the port authority was dicey

I know. People have said much the same for months. This thread on walkers is typical of his lack of decisions skills, and lonely life. The lonely life is not his fault.

Aaron Hernandez was apparently Molested as A Child

Aaron Hernandez was sexually abused as young boy, report says 10:11 AM ET ESPN An investigative series by The Boston Globe revealed that former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who killed himself in prison last year, was sexually molested as a young boy. The previously undisclosed information came from the Globe's "Spotlight Team" from interviews, thousands of court and government records, and text messages, emails and images Hernandez sent and received while in a Massachusetts prison, where he was serving a life sentence without parole for the 2013 slaying of onetime friend Odin Lloyd. The newspaper's six-part series, the first installment of which was published Saturday, included details about Hernandez's childhood, sexuality and drug use. Among them: • Hernandez and his brother, Jonathan, were often beaten by their father, Dennis, while growing up in Bristol, Connecticut. The beatings were sometimes related to Dennis Hernandez's drinking. • Aaron Hernandez started smoking marijuana in high school with a teammate before school, before football practice and after games. • The teammate, Dennis SanSoucie, told the Globe that he had a sexual relationship with Hernandez in junior high and high school and that the two tried to hide it. • Jonathan Hernandez told the Globe that Aaron Hernandez disclosed later in his adult life that he had been molested as a young boy. One of Aaron's lawyers in his criminal case also said Aaron spoke to him of sexual abuse as a child. Neither was willing to identify the perpetrator to the Globe. • Aaron Hernandez was close to a cousin, Tanya Singleton, and he was crushed when he learned that his mother, Terri, was in a serious romantic relationship with Singleton's husband, Jeff Cummings. The report Saturday included information gleaned from recordings of nearly 300 phone calls Hernandez made from jail over a six-month period. Hernandez was found hanging from a bed sheet in his cell on April 19, 2017, just days after he was found not guilty of two counts of murder in the killing of two men in a drive-by shooting outside a Boston nightclub five years earlier. -
