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.
