Practicing Random Acts of Candy
November 2, 2007
We were one pooped bunch of Tranmissioners on Halloween Wednesday, but Paul dressed up as a bookworm (picture coming soon!), bought pounds of candy, and inspired a few of us to hand out candy on the street. As we made our way up to the 116th Subway exit on Broadway, Katherine joked that we were “practicing random acts of candy!” This became our motto of the night.
We offered candy to everyone who passed and got an array of responses. Of course some people were suspicious and politely said “no thanks” (or maybe they really don’t like candy). But seeing serious and sad faces turn to smiles, being overrun by costumed kiddies, having random exchanges of kindness with strangers, and wishing our fellow New Yorkers “God Bless,” made for a magical evening.
