Nosebleed-inducing 80-degree perfectly dry heat year-round weakens the body and deadens the soul.

And which summer are we talking about? The dry summer with balmy, beachy nights in SoCal, or the humid, super uncomfortable summers pretty much everywhere else?

I can hear the ulcers forming from over here.

I just had some Campari, just to be sure I wasn't being overly harsh. I wasn't. What a dreadful beverage. It's like letting pills dissolve on your tongue. Yeech!

Actually though, I leave out the vermouth so maybe I should come up with a different name. Or it is OK to say "a dry Negroni"? Also, have you noticed the big print advertising push Campari has made in the last year or so? They seem to have an ad in every New Yorker issue. Like so: http://campari.com/pdf/Issue16_P54-55_US_Posters.pdf They say these ads are a "modern incarnation" of the fabulous old Campari posters (like so: http://www.art.com/asp/search/ProductSearch-asp/_/search_String--campari/posters.htm), but I think they're sort of missing the mark. They're not sophisticated or sexy -- just scary. My favorite Campari cocktail is still a Negroni. Actually though, I leave out the vermouth so maybe I should come up with a different name.
