I'd like to meet:

anyone interested in the medical field, people who enjoy small cafes on a sunday morning, and people that are into good bands and good music.

since my wife, melissa, has died i've been quite the anti-social one.. i'm looking to break that mind-set and gain some new friends.

emails are always welcome: [email protected] or you can leave a message with my voicemail: 512-533-0438.

i'm really just looking for people to talk to during this difficult time...
