 fi·nesse      [fi-ness] Pronunciation KeyShow IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -nessed, -ness·ing.

–noun

1. extreme delicacy or subtlety in action, performance, skill, discrimination, taste, etc.
2. skill in handling a difficult or highly sensitive situation; adroit and artful management: exceptional diplomatic finesse.

After much deliberation, I have decided on Finness as a place to hang my blogging hat.  It works for me for a few reasons:

1) My dog’s name is Finn and mine is Ness

2) It challenges me to mess with the English language in ways that usually make me squirm (ie. incorrect spelling)

3) It is ironic because neither I nor my dog have much if any finesse.  In combination, we are possibly the anti-finesse.

 Since I have this fabulous new space, I will no longer be updating my old blog site at Sponsorhouse.
