Amaro and flowers











Dear Clerkmanifesto:


I was hoping you would show more interesting pictures of weirdly veiny, translucent flowers today.


-A reader





Dear Reader:


I'm afraid you'll have to ask that in the form of a question about Amaro, the luxurious and odd variety of herbal liqueur.

Dear Clerkmanifesto:



"Can today's post please not be about Amaro?"

How's that?


-A reader





Dear Reader:



You don't like Amaro?



-Cm






Dear Clerkmanifesto:



I just already know a lot about Amaro.


-A reader





Dear Reader:



How much, exactly, do you already know about Amaro?


-Cm







Dear Clerkmanifesto:



I got my Doctorate in Amaro at the Sorbonne. I'm a little burnt out on Amaro.


-A reader




Dear Reader:


So would you like to know my favorite Amaro?


-Cm






Dear Clerkmanifesto:



Fine (heavy sigh). What's your favorite Amaro?


-A reader





Dear Reader:


Green Chartreuse.



-Cm





Dear Clerkmanifesto:


That's not an Amaro.



-A reader





Dear Reader:


Why not!



-Cm





Dear Clerkmanifesto:


It's green. And it's French.



-A reader





Dear Reader:


I don't care. It's my favorite Amaro. Want some?



-Cm





Dear Clerkmanifesto:


Yes.


-A reader





Dear Reader:


Here you are:

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
