Free cookies!<br /><br />Thanks for the link, and even more for the compliment- high praise indeed, considering the author!Yeshiva Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548367691264768113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277610123203340064.post-72999206196730113762009-09-14T04:35:19.156+03:002009-09-14T04:35:19.156+03:00This post and the tribute to that candy man really...This post and the tribute to that candy man really touched me. It resonates; it's the same reason that I particularly love Isaac's Bake Shop in Brooklyn- for the little old man who is always learning there, his sefer out, and then helps me. <br /><br />But your description, especially the darkness and the slow nature of his movement, makes him seem totally fascinating. I wonder who and what this candyman was and what he had seen.Chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655144434904957767noreply@blogger.com
