Retired Public Health Professional. Immunology, Environmental Health, Epidemiology. Interests include music and photography. I'm really just looking to make some friends either local or long distance that I can talk to. I started my Education as a Religion and Philosophy major then switched gears to work on a PhD in Microbiology/Immunology. Since becoming an Atheist, I find few folks interested in talking about things that matter to me. Even my own wife tunes me out and criticizes what I read and think about. Not looking for sex or physical intimacy but would love to find someone to talk to over dinner or on the telephone. I guess I'm looking for some level of emotional intimacy.
