I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

It's hard work, but I love my new job in cardiovascular surgical recovery. I'm new to Houston and looking to explore the city. When I'm not working, I'm usually reading, seeing live music, watching movies, working out, or getting het up over politics.

My Interests

Live and recorded music, quiet movie theaters, books, laughing with friends, interesting patients, strange medical stories, moths that drink the tears from sleeping birds, that sort of thing
