Yearbook picture

 





I have been working on my Summer pictures for Clerkmanifesto, a little group shot of the cast of clerkmanifesto for this Summer. Just a moment for us to touch base here and gather ourselves at France's clerkmanifesto headquarters.

I don't have a definitive image yet. It eludes me, and also, there is a lot of soccer to watch.



Like, did you see Messi's brace?



I know that yesterday I said that trying to predict soccer is a fool's game. It doesn't exist until it happens. But then, to slap me down for my hubris, I had one of those moments of absolute conviction. Sometimes they are positive, sometimes negative. This was around Messi's penalty kick he missed. I knew he would miss it so completely that I hoped he would give the kick to the forward who was fouled, Lautaro Martinez.

He didn't and he missed the goal.

Luckily it didn't matter and the two goals? Well, you saw them.  And if you didn't. Thank you for your attention to this matter. But they were an expression of a treat I have been enjoying for 12 years. It's almost over now, but weird that it still isn't. Talk about unpredictable.

Meanwhile, I have these images in various odd states of completion. I offer them forward as the Summer cast of clerkmanifesto.

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.
