Too Hot To Write... Read My Other Stuff

We're experiencing a heat wave here in the Northeast. I believe I am the only person in Connecticut without air-conditioning. This is my gift to future generations; I can only hope that my extreme discomfort will make for a better, greener future for our children. I'm sitting in front of a fan attached to a water sprayer, so needless to say, it's a bit hot for a candy review. But I thought maybe you'd like to read this, an article I wrote about a candy mystery in my hometown. Stay tuned. The mystery is unraveling even as you read this.

Mrs. Barsky and the Mysterious Penny Candy

About a month ago, I posted that a candy mystery has popped up in my life. It's all very intriguing. It started when the Necco Door Neighbor's Famous Author Husband mentioned something about Barsky's candy in the town we grew up in. Barsky's candy? Never heard of it. He said it was a little old lady who sold penny candy out of her house.
I found this to be very mysterious and exciting, but you know, you can never trust an author to tell the truth. They do, after all, have a way with words.
But then I started writing a column for a local website and in my research for other articles, I came across a few other people who mentioned "old lady Barsky." Crazy stuff! I'm hot on the trail because this contains all the stuff of a great story: penny candy, an old lady, nostalgia and intrigue. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
