green?

why is the fountain at Love Park green? it's been green all week, and i have no idea why. they sometimes dye the fountain different colors- all of them crazy bright- for different occasions. pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. team colors if one of the sports teams is in the playoffs or something. but green is the Eagles, and they're not playing now. when i walked by this morning, tables were set up, and there were people scurrying around, but i didn't see any signs that would explain why the fountain is green, and these are things i need to know.

this would be a more interesting post if i had a digital camera, and therefore a picture of the bright green fountain. i need to invest in one of those. i do so often see things walking too and from work that need to be immortalized. or at least blogged about.

speaking of green, it's finally freaking spring here, and i know that is true because the fruit trucks are back. woo hoo! smoothies! there are a few fruit trucks in philly that are out year round, but most of them are seasonal, just popping up when fruit is in season and cheap. the trials of living in the northeast.

and, as usual, another terribly exciting post from me. i think i felt the need to say something because sheri is on a work trip, and i've been living alone for the last couple of days. which is fine, and i enjoy having the house to myself, but i become pretty solitary when she's not around. i don't have any close friends at work, and i don't generally see my friends much during the week, since none of them are in philly, and we're all busy with stuff. so i'm speaking into the void a bit, to see if i can hear my voice.

of course, i didn't go on the trip with sheri, which was to miami, because i should have just been starting my busiest time of year at work. note i said *should*. because i haven't recieved a single budget, and by now i should have at least half. we'll still meet the deadline of getting the last budget into our office by next week, but we'll also be getting the first budget then, too. of course, if i had gone to miami, all the budgets would have been in my office by now, and i would have been hated by my co-workers.
