In A T-Boy Journey into the Curious Case of Dark Nursery Rhymes – we took you into the world of joyful children’s nursery rhymes. But, when we looked deeply into their core, many of the soothing melodies and their haunting rhyming schemes, are bleak, sinister and deathly macabre. In Part II, our journey continues with more of the same, but found others that might have a deep effect when you sleep: Three Blind Mice, later adapted as a calypso version in James Bond film; Jack and Jill, not the power couple we had thought; The Real-Life Story of Humpty Dumpty and the English Civil War; Rub-a-Dub-Dub and how we might find that we are not as a clean as we thought; and we close with Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater which leads us to an Audrey Hart recipe for a delicious Thanksgiving pie.

As you read this, I will probably be in La Jolla, CA beside the beach. No, I won't be soaking in the sun. I will be resting in our hotel room while my wife attends a company retreat. Because of my wife's work activities, I have traveled to several US tourist areas. I guess you can call it a blessing. But I enjoy a nice conversation more than any travel.
