Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.
~William Wordsworth, 1806
100 days of Firsts!!! Whoa! Yeah baby. A hundred days of crazy, eye opening, silly, fascinating new Firsts this year.
I felt the need to spread the love today. The First Fairy (that would be me) went up Market street in Philadelphia with a hundred quarters to feed a hundred parking meters.
I actually got excited when I found a few meters about to expire. It was fun thinking, the meter maid would be foiled again. The poor car owner spared a ludicrous ticket because some lunatic journalist has a first project.
Or not. Maybe I just wasted a bunch of quarters.
Hey, it was good for me. Don't know if it was good for anyone else. Doesn't matter.
Happy 100 Firsts Day!
