Hi, and thanks for visiting the website. I hope that you’ll stay long enough to find an article that you like. My work is neatly compartmentalized under descriptive headings. Just click on a category you’re in the mood for and you’ll see a list of pieces with brief hints as to the content therein.

I'm not much for "Artists' Statements" but I will tell you this much: I write about what moves me. I write about what piques my curiosity. My political bent is decidedly left and my take on the world is that we, as a rule, are amusing. My wish is that what you read here strikes a responsive chord with you, uncovers something that we have in common. If not, thanks for visiting. If it does, get comfortable and stay a while. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Ed Holahan was born, raised and educated in New York City. He is retired from a long career inventing toys and games in Chicago.

He lives on beautiful Ella Bella Farm, near Westby WI, with the love of his life, Mary Benson. His column appears in the Houston Banner, a bastion of independent journalism.

He continues to conduct workshops in the art of helping folks rediscover what we all had as kids namely, creativity and joy. He has spoken before thousands of people as a humorist and motivator and is available to do so for you. His schedule and fees are available upon request.
