California Dreamin':
My middle daughter has an art history assignment this weekend: to visit San Francisco's MOMA and view a current exhibit, "Matisse and Beyond: The Painting and Sculpture Collection." I am green with envy at her opportunity... and so disappointed that I can't experience it with her. I long to walk arm-in-arm with my sweet angel and be among the works of art produced by such amazing 20th-century masters as Henri Matise, Mark Rothko, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo ("I luff my monkeys."), Rene Magritte, Joan Mitchell, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol.

Think of all the places this art has been ... and all the people who have seen it...
