Introducing myself...
Hi! my name is Dave Adams, and I am kind of new to the site, and thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce myself.
I am a 44 year old single male, living in Highlands Ranch Colorado. I have been a Democrat all of my life, and haven't been this energized about the party since Carter.
I was born in Tennessee, and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania. I have been all over the country, with work and travel. My international travels are limited to Mexico and Canada, but would like to see those places across the ponds. I am in the process of working out the logistics of a summer trip to Alaska.
Being an avid fly fisher, this summer is going to be one for the books!
I am a big Clark supporter, and now that he is out of the race, I once again return to the ranks of the undecideds. I plan on doing research into the other candidates, and will support whoever the nominee happens to be.
I am seriously ABB.
I have a dog, a yellow lab named Emma, who is my little sweetie, and will continue to be as long as I keep feeding her I suppose.
Authors I enjoy include Garrison Keillor, Ernest Hemingway, and John Geirach.
My musical tastes range from classical to bluegrass; my personal favorites are Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Bruce Springsteen, Yo Yo Ma, George Strait, just to name a few.
I find Robin Williams hilarious, as is Chris Rock, Lewis Black, and of course, The Daily Show.
Favorite movies: Field of Dreams, Dogma, Bull Durham, Amelie, and the entire Thin Man series.
Can't think of anything else interesting to tell you, (that of course, assumes that any of the above was interesting) so email me with any questions you might have.
Oh yeah, I'm a freelance editorial cartoonist, currently working on a strip for syndication. I keep forgetting that.
My hobbies include fine art, photography, the aforementioned fly fishing and fly tying.
There.
Me in a nutshell. Albeit, one big ol' honkin' nutshell at that.

6. Do you really like the movie versions of The Thin Man?
Maybe its because I read the book first and adore Hammett, but I thought they cleaned it up too much. Althought I think the casting was great.

19. I love Hammet as well...
but it is a rare occasion that a movie actually lives up to a book. I just reconcile them as being two different entities, with positive attributes in both.
And yes, the casting was impeccable! Myrna Loy was the sexiest movie star of her time!

22. I just hoped for more decadence than
what the movie delivered. Maltese Falcon was perfection though.

Oh, and I forgot to say, Welcome!

11. Welcome from another Clark supporter
Steve from central Mississippi, 49, single (but gay and happily partnered for 15 years); English Springer named Champ, big garden, love to read, ex-state employee bureaucrat (now enthusiastically retired).

Hope you enjoy this place. It's...,well, different. But I love it and only hope you have thick skin or asbestos armor. It gets a little hot in here sometimes.

\_/ <--Beer I am also somewhat new to DU. It is like a local pub, with a lot of old time regs, some that might look at the newcomer with skepticism, most that will welcome you with open arms and still others itching for a fight/argument. Don't be too thin skinned. (I can be guilty of that at times) and most of all...



S P E A K Y O U R M I N D

Colorado is a beautiful state and i envy you living there.
BTW....has your Lab had the surgery?

You know....the surgery to get the tennis ball out of it's mouth

24. Emma was a "free to a good home" puppy...
And there were times when I thought I paid too much. But those days are behind us, (I hope) and if she had the surgery you speak of, I haven't seen evidence of it, or it didn't take.
Every time I try to extract the tennis ball I am successful, but only for a few seconds.

27. Welcome to DU, Adams Wulff aka Dave!
I have gotten to know you better in a few minutes than people I have known on this site for a year, LOL! You sound like you share the values of most DUers, so I am sure that you will fit in just fine. An editorial cartoonist? Cool. Maybe sometime you can post some of your work so we can see it. Again, welcome to DU.:hi:

37. Welcome to DU.
I already feel like I know you better than 90-something% of the 39,386 registered DUers, LOL.

For the record, I'm 43.83 years old, twice-divorced, mother of adults, grandmother, teacher, unrepentant, independent, defiant, lone-wolf idealist, and live on the left-coast.

Enjoy your time here!
