“Fin” is the Latin word for “end”… “ish” is used to indicate a “sort of” or “about” condition. “I’ll meet you around noonish for the moon launch.”
Every now and then, I almost feel like I’m “finished” with Ed’s Website… artists like to “fin” their work. But I’m not sure if this project has an “end”. Whenever I think I’m at the fin, something always comes up-ish.
Every day starts something new. Below is a favorite song from my past, present & future. It’s about the inspiration of change.
Sometimes I find a paragraph that needs to be moved from one post to another or else just simply edited for a better read or I may even add something new. Ed’s Website is a pause to reflect for everyone, including me.
Footnotes
The Internet is Earth’s lighted stage.
Building this website has been a rewarding experience akin to meeting a stranger and not knowing what to expect. Then after a lengthy exchange becoming great friends!
Katie, my youngest, asked me a while back to write something about myself for her in a “dad” book to have for posterity. I hope this website does a better job than I did in my little book.

Expounding
Below I explain my artists poem from the home page for the benefit of anyone who would like an explanation.
Artists
art, words, and music awaken the senses
(inspired works can make us feel good or bad)
composing mood reflections from life’s reasoned fences
(we each have unique perspectives so reactions to a work vary)
encoded skill and mind is the foundry
(everyone has gifts to share)
beyond the grip of night’s emotional boundary
(anxiety and depression stifle inspiration)
works evolve as inspired emotion is resolved
(creativity is bolstered by the spirit)
initially completed when an audience is involved
(an artist’s work is defined by its audience)
only finished after the artist has evolved
(life concludes when the curtain is drawn)
Artists finish their work.
An audience completes it.
Hang on to what gives you peace. Hang on to what helps you to love and uplift others along with yourself.

Right back to you Linda ❤️
So glad I found your site Ed! A breath of fresh air amidst the stale stagnation of the internet! (A special thanks to Sean Dietrich.)
Thanks Tom! ❤️
Hi Tom,
I hope you’re feeling well. I just realized, after all this time, that perhaps I needed to clarify with you that I’m not affiliated with Sean of the South except as a fan. In case you weren’t just thanking Sean in your comment, for being Sean. And I gave you an “affiliated” impression. Sean did actually answer one of my emails. Guess I’m bragging about that. He’s in demand. I comment on Sean’s blog because I love his work and his audience.
Take care,
Ed
PS – I’m glad you liked my website.
