just realized it was Thanksgiving 1969 when I quit shaving... my Sophmore year at Miami University... felt it was the first time I had a full enough beard to grow a real beard... don't remember the exact date... I'm thinking I was getting ready to go home for Thanksgiving and didn't bother to shave and then decided it didn't make sense to shave and then go out into freezing weather... ALTHO, I have that memory more from being on campus... I do remember getting up and shaving and then going right out the door into freezing weather thinking THIS IS CRAZY... having a wet soft face from shaving and then walking out outside in cold freezing early morning windy weather... feeling like my face was going to "crack"...
wonder if I could find historic temperatures from Oxford Ohio to see how cold it was in November 1969...
also remember how slippery "SLANT WALK" on campus would be... it would ice over and we'd watch girls all dressed up falling down... knew one hippie girl that wore golf spikes to class... we'd walk in the grass...
