Abstract

I searched and searched and could not find any. It was seldom I needed birthday candles. Truth be told, it had probably been a decade since I last used them. I scavenged in a drawer-the one containing bread ties and postage stamps-for used candles. Stubs would do for the purpose of lighting and then extinguishing. But, in a fit of "organizing," I must have cleaned them out. I had no idea they would become hard to replace.
