Harmonica 101: Introduction to Terminology

Although I have decided to start a blog, I must state my strong repudiation of the word "blog." It sounds murky, malevolent, and somehow, sweaty. It is altogether an unpleasant word.

I hate it especially when used in conjunction with the word "political." "Political Blog" sounds like a Creature, such as one from the Black Lagoon, who is also a pundit. He doesn't vote a straight ticket in his opinions, so you never know what he'll have to say to James Carville or Tucker Carlson. In this way, the Political Blog always contributes to a lively Sunday morning on the talk shows. However, he is roundly criticized for his frequent oozing.

So this is not a Blog. It is a Chronicle. A Repository of Ramble, A Cauldron of Commentary, and A Daily Dish of Desultory Delight. Sometimes, it is an Almanac of Alliteration. But it is never a Blog, and it is always. . .The Harmonica Chronicle.
