I choose not to use the word ‘blog’. I recognize it but choose not to use it in my spoken vocabulary. It has that much kinship with the term ‘Homeland Security’ but for different reasons. The word ‘Homeland Security’ is one I loathe. I do not loathe ‘blog’. I just find it bit too cute and ultimately temporary. Hence, I refer to the content you will see here as a “column” to borrow the venerable term from the newspaper world and which is every bit if not more applicable to a computer screen as to old fashion newsprint.
This is not yet my first column, since I just installed the WordPress blogging engine and this is my trying that out. My first column will appear here. Just not today.
