Not with this administration". Music venues of Washington, D. She didn't dress this way for weekends or long drives. She'd stopped at a gas station ten miles before Garberville and changed out of her baggy T-shirt and tight jeans. Sandi and I satisfied him with our straggly hair and car-rumpled corduroys. He knew everyone in town. Mom walked on the other side of the street, keeping an eye on us but trying to ignore Fuzzy. I could tell she was steamed.

She looked almost glamorous with her bleached hair, sunglasses hiding her eyes, and the red shirt, walking through. Garberville, a town of earth tones. People stared at her, maybe thinking she was a narc, or maybe the hippie women were remembering what it felt like to wear heels, and the hippie men recalled women who bathed and groomed.

She sighed and sat at the next table. It just doesn't work out," she muttered. Fuzzy didn't buy her ice cream. She usually dieted anyway. Solar panels heated Fuzzy's home, but since we came on a rainy week we had no power. Dad played his acoustic guitar by candlelight, and lots of spacey friends visited, and I didn't see him put his shirt on all week. He was brown despite the gloom, with curly golden hair on his chest and back.

The cassette tape was worn, the batteries dying in the player, but Mom started crying and Fuzzy held her hand. Mom forgot the pumps and switched to jeans that day, and Fuzzy walked beside her through the town. The third day, we hiked to a stream in a forest and we all swam nude in the rain. We'd never seen this side of our mother, a throwback to those two years she spent with Fuzzy in the sixties.

They told us to go play upstream for a while, but I didn't want to leave them for a second. I wanted to see Mom in this new way -- her soft beige body amongst the trees, reclining on the bank against our hairy but handsome young father. I'd never seen a naked man before, except in the encyclopedias I snuck open whenever a substitute teacher turned off the lights to show a film.

But Mom blocked most of Fuzzy's mysterious body with her own familiar one -- the full breasts hanging a little low, the rounded stomach and hips, a triangle of dark hair. That night Mom didn't sleep with us on the floor in the front room. She disappeared into Fuzzy's bedroom, and we didn't see her again until noon the next day. Sandi and I found stale granola in the cupboard, then slipped out to the stream that knifed through the back lot. I'm glad we had that trip to Garberville together, because afterwards Fuzzy got weirder.

Sandi and I heard nothing about him for a couple of years. I think he got busted. But next we knew he lived in Portland, Oregon, operating a legit business: I was thirteen by then, which Mom considered plenty old to take a plane to Oregon without her.

She kissed us goodbye at the United terminal and then Sandi and I were strapped in the air going five hundred miles an hour. I'd never flown in a plane before, and tried to hide my nervousness from Sandi. Not that flying scared her. She looked out the little window and beamed at the clouds. Fuzzy didn't meet us at the airport. We stood by the baggage claim, shifting our bags from shoulder to shoulder, until a young woman in a wrap-around skirt, her red hair braided down her back, stumbled over to us. Her eyes got clearer long enough to take a quick look around. We followed her out the door and into a July heat wave.

Arrowroot directed us to a van she'd left in a loading zone. Food wrappers littered the van, and bits of yarn, clothes and empty baggies. I'd just finished seventh grade, and didn't want this trash rumpling my red Calvin Klein pants, my flowered Hawaiian blouse, or my three inch spiked Candies shoes. Between sixth and seventh grade all the other kids had discovered fashion, and I'd spent a miserable year struggling to catch up.

Sandi sat in the middle of the front seat, all eagerness to see a new place.

Huge trees converged on the highway into town. Arrowroot lit a cigarette and turned the radio onto an Aerosmith song, which I recognized because junior high school kids had to know all the songs on the radio. None of us wore seatbelts, which made me feel reckless. Annabelle and Mom were sticklers about belting up. His girlfriend," Arrowroot mused, looking straight ahead in a dreamy way, like she didn't notice the other cars on the highway. I thought my aquamarine eyeliner and rose blusher made me look grown up, like someone who should take a plane alone.

Last time I'd seen my father I still looked like a kid. I fidgeted in my purple Le Sac purse for a Clinique lipstick. I'd shoplifted the tester, which didn't really count because they couldn't sell it anyway. Annabelle disapproved of thirteen-year-olds wearing make up, so I'd applied most of it in the airplane bathroom, which accounted for one rosy cheek being higher than the other.

Kids with doctor, lawyer and engineer fathers overran Dana Junior High. But there could be advantages to a father who owned a record shop. I imagined returning to San Diego with a suitcase full of new 45s. He could give me all the songs they played on 13K, the top 40 radio station, everything from "Funky Town" to "Brass in Pocket. The highway swooped in on the city and we crossed a river right downtown. We rode on a red bridge, and as I looked left I saw a whole series of bridges linking the banks like sloppy stitches in a cut.

A ship called the Valistroika rested between bridges, beneath huge cylinders on the bank that Arrowroot said were grain elevators. They looked about twenty stories high. Arrowroot pushed in the car cigarette lighter, then pulled it out and thrust it at Sandi, who handed it to me along with the cigarettes. Times like this she remembered I was the older sister.

I took a cigarette from the pack and pressed it against the orange-hot end of the lighter. Arrowroot glanced over and laughed. Press the lighter and inhale. The cigarette caught and the awful fumes flooded my mouth. Sandi watched me, shocked, like we were two completely separate people, a new idea for her. I handed the cigarette to Arrowroot. She stuck it in her mouth, then pulled it out fast. You got lipstick on it! People lounged on their porches and front steps in the sun. I saw a naked man and whipped my head around for a better look.

I didn't know what bourgeois meant, but it still hurt. She pulled into the driveway of a huge, particularly shabby building. The white paint peeled off in strips. Sloping balconies jutted out with all the planning of a two-year-old's Leggo creation. Three hairy guys in tie-dyed shirts lounged on the stairs passing a joint. Arrowroot sighed and jumped out of the van. She opened the back door so we could carry our bags inside.

Two of the steps to the house were missing, the wood rotted away. I elbowed her to make her keep quiet. I didn't like how hair and mirrored lenses covered almost his entire face. Arrowroot rubbed her temples like she had a headache.

I wondered why our father, now a business owner, chose to live here. We came to a door with a red X painted on it. Arrowroot pushed and it opened -- not locked, not even closed all the way. Even Annabelle, who believed in trying to love humanity, would never leave her door unlocked. But when I saw the trash inside, I realized a burglar would throw up his hands in exasperation, unsure where to begin. Should he pick a path through the Styrofoam coffee cups, ashtrays and wadded up Indian print wrap skirts?

He could head for the purple bedroom, where a dirty mattress lay on the floor, half covered with clothes and magazines. Was there a wall safe behind one of the Grateful Dead posters on the living room wall?

A tiny dog with a Chihuahua face and steel wool fur bounced through the door from the hall, its teeth bared. The dog scrunched up and took a tiny shit right on the living room floor.

Arrowroot hurled an ashtray at it, cigarette butts flying onto her discarded clothing, rolling into the matted orange carpet. I looked at Sandi and my tough little sister's eyes shone like they'd bust open with tears.

He's making us some bread. Sandi and I still held our bags, reluctant to set them down in the filth. My red bag and Sandi's blue one were probably the newest, shiniest things in the apartment. Arrowroot made no move to clean up the dog turd. Fathers were a big deal to her that year. Her sixth grade class had organized a Bring-Dad-to-School Day where kids could bring their fathers to class. It was mean, since about a quarter of the kids didn't have fathers, or at least not within a hundred miles. And stupid, since mostly the fathers worked during school hours.

Only three kids brought their dads: Two loser fathers who hadn't worked for a year or two, and one cool father, an artist, who worked any time of the day he wanted. I already knew the answer. Something was definitely wrong with her head. Sandi tripped, trying to avoid the dog turd. Arrowroot closed the door behind us, all the way this time, and Sandi and I stood in the hall, still clutching our bags. I tried to keep up, tottering on my heels, watching the dark carpet for things that would twist my ankles.

The tie-dyed men had left the porch. Now two boys about my age sat out there with a battery-operated tape deck. One had black hair, a crooked nose and a Led Zeppelin T-shirt. The other had curly honey-colored hair waving around his shoulders, tan skin, green eyes and a pale green embroidered shirt that looked like a girl's.

He was too cute. I froze in place. Temporary paralysis set in. They looked at us when they talked, unlike most of the boys in my seventh grade class. Talking to attractive boys was difficult. The House," explained my beloved. It's a kind of a commune. Lots of us live here. Mainstream," the lover of my dreams said. If he lived in here, he might need some cleaning up.

But these boys just seemed curious, so I only got a little mad. I kicked my shoes off and rubbed my feet, whose arches had assumed a new shape. I was a kid then. Their names were Moonchild and Lion. How could I love someone named Moonchild? I wanted to touch his honey hair, which didn't look dirty at all. Maybe other residents of the house kept cleaner quarters than Fuzzy and Arrowroot.

I imagined Mom seeing us now, hearing these boys trying to convert her daughters into freaks. After all the years she tried to escape Annabelle's influence and lead a main life. A lawyer or something. Golf games in the afternoon. Yacht clubs and shit. At least, the high-profile kids did. That one school year as an aspiring socialite, I'd ignored the other apartment-dwelling kids. I thought about washing my face. Maybe the makeup didn't look so hot after all.

I looked at her jeans and baggy T-shirt and sandals. She was definitely still a kid. But something lurked just beneath that tan, freckled skin, platinum hair and blue eyes. Something waited to get out, and then no one would ever look at me again. Most of them looked like they'd once been elegant. Now skinny cats and spacey-eyed people straggled in and out, sweating in the heat. We walked on the shady side of the street, my heels clomping, the other three pairs of feet silent. I felt conspicuous in that neighborhood, like an ostrich.

My bag seemed heavier with every step, and my shoulder sweated beneath the strap. Most people don't live in communes! And Fuzzy lives in one. Except to try to make her leave. It looked dark inside. We'd never gone to see him without Mom. This black-haired kid knew my father better than I did. Maybe Lion and Moonchild were like sons to him, and I was just a visitor from his past, an unwanted reminder of the main world. Sandi walked ahead of us. She pushed the door hard and it opened and she disappeared into the dark record shop.

I held back and Moonchild actually took my hand and smiled at me, leading me along. I'd never held hands with a boy before. I thought of those sappy posters of couples walking on the beach, an abnormally orange sunset in the distance. But this was something else -- a real hand, strong and hot, damp from the heat wave.

We filed through the door and there sat my father, sweating on a chair in the dark, between warped and dusty records in bins and piles on the floor. I clutched Moonchild's hand and we stood shoulder to shoulder before Fuzzy. Sandi already sat cross-legged at his feet. The only light came through the blinds, from the street. Did you grow six inches?
