The Hall of Mirrors

When I was in high school I was on the debate and forensic teams. Our school teams were managed by the librarian, Pat Brown, who was a serious mentor to me in my teen years.
I remember us driving in fractured groups to a meet in Tennessee. I was with Bobby Kingery and Robin Robertson, who were a platonic couple through those years. My main memory of the trip was the winding roads up the side of the mountain, the slow electric musicbox feeling of that Kraftwerk album and the sheets of white snow layering a dreamlike atmosphere to the trip.
