A Few Words From Your Sponsor
Hi! I'm David. And I'm incredible. A while back, during a compliment-gone-hilarious someone once told me that I was THE Incredible D-A-V. My guess is that Dave was the intended destination for that little name-game, but as I never liked the name Dave, Dav stuck.
I'll write about all sorts of stuff in this blog, probably only 1/3 of it will be of any interest at any given time. Keep coming back...we'll see what we can find out about each other.

Before he discovered sunshine.

A Van Gogh has been donated to the Portland Museum of Art after hanging in a family’s home since 1950. But it’s not your everyday, run-of-the-mill Van Gogh. No sunflowers, no one-eared portrait. It’s a dark oil-on-canvas depicting an Ox Cart, probably hauling dung. As Curator Bruce Guenther explains “[it is] brown and black and grey and green … and it’s filled with an atmosphere”. NPR’s Susan Stamberg explains that “Van Gogh made it [in Nuenen, a Dutch village] before he went to Arles and other towns in southern France and discovered sunshine”.
