It's an absolutely perfect day here in SC, hope it's nice where you are. Here's another weekend edition - Covers 94 full of goodness. Next weekend I'll be at Pazfest and the following weekend at Yosemite (unless our silly government shuts down and then we'll have to improvise some kind of vacation in that area). Maybe just go to a tree museum. So it'll be three weeks before you get the next one. http://goo.gl/aW8BgD 1. James "Jez" Graham & The Trio - Hejira 2. Ben Jelen - River 3.

Barbie-doll pink! But they're one of those cloistered groups so not sure if it makes sense that Joni would have met one. They've been around since the late 1800s and they do have a few convents in the US. http://www.adorationsisters.org/history.html > > > On 2013-09-28, at 12:50 PM, McKay Catherine wrote: > > >> When I don't know the answers to things, I make them up. To me, at the time, the song sounded like a psychedelic/hippy song, so the pink nun was just one of those drug-induced, Alice-in-Wonderland type of things. >> >> Looking back on it now, as an old fart, I wonder if there's a correlation between the Pink Nun and Blue Nun wine?

My kids and I always make up names for people we see a lot of but don't know - there's Mr. Starey, and the White Witch and Mr Grouchy and so on. >> >> But, as I've already said, when I don't know answers to things, I just make stuff up.
