Born in the south, raised in the north, lived abroad, climbed some mountains, danced in grocery store aisles, cooked in deserts, made some art, got a few degrees, reclaimed my Texas roots, it all worthwhile...

Still filling out my profile. In the meanwhile, I'm happy to respond to any questions and will gladly send pictures upon request.

Working a job that I love, travelling lots, and spending as much time as possible with friends and family.

remembering random trivia

Absolutely my smile.

Books- Haroun and the sea of stories by Salmon Rushdie, Ender's game, Gone with the Wind, anything by Malcom Gladwell and hundreds more -I love to read.
Movies-my taste in movies runs the gamut from classic Hollywood to documentary to blockbuster superhero and everything John Hughes.
Shows-Don't watch a lot of TV but I enjoy Big Bang Theory, Games of Thrones, and old episodes of shows like the Wonder Years, Friday Night Lights, Twin Peaks, 6 Feet Under, etc.
Music- Love live music and listen to just about everything including stuff that people often stick in the dislike column (like country, heavy metal, and opera). Although I do not enjoy anything really discordant and I've gotten a little bit sick of 80s lately which used to be my default listening choice.
Food- I'm adventurous when it comes to food. I love to cook and try new restaurants. The spicier the better!
