Green is the New Black

Green bananas are gross. But, green grapes are a totally different story. Green tomatoes (fried and dipped in ranch dressing) certainly reside on my list of perfect foods. What else is on the list, you ask? Cellar temperature wine, Frito Lay bean dip, nearly rare tuna, Harry & David pears, and Heinz ketchup. I'm clearly too sophisticated for my own good.

One time a former boss described me as green. I'm going to assume he didn't mean it as an insult because Leonardo DiCaprio brags about being green, Bill Gates is made of green, and Ralph Nader parties with it. Perhaps it was a dig -- who knows? He used to also comment on my inability to tan and librarian-like personality. *air high-5 to all my fellow nerds*

But, life's one fat mixed message, right? Green means go to a driver and stop to a polluter. If your thumb is green -- good. If your big toe is green -- not so good. I'm not convinced green tea is all it's cracked up to be. Green blog entries on the other hand...
