Author’s Note: This week I had a little pink tin pail on my desk full of candy for trick-or-treaters. There were five or so types of different Hershey treats from an assortment pack, all pretty good choices. When I picked up the pail at the end of the day to dump it -- in another candy dish, not the trash (let’s make smart choices, not ridiculous ones: I’ll be out next week and someone else should eat all that before I’m back) -- there was a single crowning mini Snickers. How did it get there? It had landed out of nowhere, as if from a totally different candy planet. I didn’t overthink -- I ate it. I’m totally sure it’s because I wrote about Snickers the other day. Simple -- reality. Boom!
