More from Nadine Wendell-Mojica ...

... and the unusual, winsome, and talented Morley: 

The "Penetrating Study of the Morals and Manners of ... The College Male" is one of the more bizarre things Nadine has ever sent me, and I'm intrigued that she made a point of circling the "with case histories" thing. She didn't send the actual book. If you learned anything fascinating from those case histories that I should know, Nadine, you'd better spill it! I'll be waiting. I always wanted to want a letter man, but didn't; what a piece of good luck that was. 

It all speaks for itself: an assortment of art and oddities plus artistamps by people like Mike Dickau that explains why an envelope from Nadine always makes my day. Thank you, Nadine!

Beautiful, collection- archive art, found objects, photos! Don't get lost in Case studies... you miss out on real life!

KDJ--it's "god they were old," of course. At first it came out GWTO, which would be "god were they old," which wouldn't correspond syntactically to your GIO, you know? Some of your spell-outs beat the original, though, and you deserve a medal. Thanks for the boring pix. No, actually, the second is fascinating. The guy on the right looks like the mayor of some city in New Jersey.

Ha, you nailed it, Angie: repressed sociopath, that's the look. I never went for it. Only for obvious sociopaths.

There was a singing group, The Lettermen--3 or 4 of them? Terrible, boring stuff. Saw them in a parade 20 years ago. GTWO. 

That's true about case histories, Nadine. Any book that has them is unreadable to me. 

Big fan here of Carl Chew's stamps!

Thanks so much little lady. I never wanted a letter man either. The guy was creepy, no? I also think it's funny when someone tries to authenticate a book with "case histories" in tiny type of course.

Stamps on envelope are from BuzBlur and Carl Chew as well. Cool as always.

Ok. What does LMFAO mean? GIO.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

I hear you and promise I don't intend to give you any more. This does seems to have been a year for the stuff, up here too. 

GIO! Can we share it? Suits me also, but who wants to actually spell it out more than once or thrice.

KDJ, let me catch my breath from laughing thanks to you.

All righty then. Nadine will need to clear up the birthday gift questions, but I should say that Nadine's drawing/painting and Morley's card were separate in the envelope--I put them together for scanning.

Nadine WAS at Tony Orlando's wedding! She just forgot to tell us. Oh yes, there's a theme running through these items. The bachelor buttons especially clued me in. I know, the stamp, yukka, but hey, open yourself up and receive life. :--}

Morley's website is GREAT, I love it. And you're so right: he is his mother's son.

Morley is so cute! I do love the wedding photo! Great stuff by Nadine, lucky you, Nancy!!
