Happy Green Day!

Today is Saint Patrick's Day, and whether or not you know (or care) that Saint Patrick lived in the 5th century A.D. and is regarded as the most famous patron Saint of Ireland, you'll undoubtedly notice a lot of green today. It's inspired me to put together a personal top ten green list - here goes:

10. Green public "art": Chicago River on St. Patick's Day. Yes, the Chicago Irish contingent actually does dye the River green for today.

9. Green restaurant: Nora, in Washington, DC. Restaurant Nora was America's first certified organic restaurant, given that distinction in 1999 before it was so hip.

8. Green drink: Dr. Oz's Green Drink. Never did I think I'd utter this ubiquitous doc's name, yet alone quote him in a blog, but his green smoothie is both good for you and tastes SO good you won't even want that doughnut in the conference room.
