I remember that Blomgren afternoon vividly. I think you were wearing that purple-bold-striped (or was it teale) sweater. Within 48 hours I interrogated Josh G about you because I knew that he knew your friend Jen.

Blomgren had that authority destabilizing appeal. You used to spend time there whether or not you were in detention and I used to sit in on his classes even though I never took a class with him. Do you remember the grease paint Sinead O’Connor and Bob Dylan portraits I did in his class?

Well I hope that the mix lived up to the expectations, did the trick, and jumpstarted your adolescent rock and roll heart!

My favorite way to spend detention (in my case, for late arrival to school) was in Mr. B’s art room, hanging out. Which is where I first met you and Josh, or rather got your attention, because of course i knew who you were. Which is where I preferred to hang out after school even without being required to. What kind of crazy non-punishment was that?? Typical softy, liberal, mushy child-rearing… ;)
