Nadine Wendell Mojica and the Oxnard MoMA of Many Wonders

Things are picking up at the Oxnard MoMA where Nadine Wendell Mojica is Staff Historian when she is not in a self-induced coma. Luckily, as a resident of the Bautista Assisted Living Facility I get the newsletter which is packed with info. The envelope isn't too shabby either....Lots to chew on here and...

...there. (included are helps and translations from the original Hollywoodese). The envelope actually has some interesting King Learian subtexts. For example, the poem by Robert Hayden is his lament about his callow, shallow youth which is slyly mirrored in the carload of crass male artists en route to visit their moms at the Bautista Assisted Living Facility (BALF). But let's move on to the article from the API:

Nadine has thoughtfully supplied me with a medic alert necklace: "David Stafford: Be cautioned: he wanders..." Too true, though I hope I don't look so much like a dessicated Larry King when I'm 106. 

It's a newsy nugget for sure with a cast of thousands rocking away, laps full of rubber cement, paper  and pens. Thank you, Nadine. Keep me posted on the Oxnard MoMA's latest acquisitions. (As we went to press they were angling for a collection of Jeff Koon's runcible spoons.)

You promised last year we'd be in adjacent rocking chairs on the assisted living facility's porch, David, when it was time. You failed to mention how much older than me you are, which I just might come to resent at some point. That you wander goes without saying, though.

This is a class A mail art from Nadine! Might be the longest story I've seen her tell? I love it and thank you, especially today.
