Orin abandons the toddlers to smoke with Marlon Bain

texture · Weston childhood; recalled in Bain's Nov YDAU letter

• When: A Weston afternoon when Mario and Hal were crazed-toddler age.
• What: Per Marlon Bain, on a day Orin was to baby-sit Mario and Hal, he and Bain slipped to the garage loft to smoke Bob Hope, lost themselves in a "Marijuana Thinking" labyrinth, and left the toddlers unsupervised all afternoon (both survived); Avril's later phone calls "rang and rang," exposing Orin's lie that he had been supervising by phone.
