About Me
- Jeff Jones
- Wake Forest, NC, United States
- My life has had its normal ups and downs. I cooked professionally for years and was a breakfast, lunch, and a dinner cook. I was a saucier, a sous chef and a chef. I was an actor in a made for TV movie entitled "The Secret Life of John Chapman". For years I pit crewed on an A Production Corvette and traveled to races all over the Northwest. I ran computers at Boeing to test 737 and 747 development. I was responsible for and ran computers at Cape Canaveral for the early Apollo flights and on an atoll in the South Pacific (Kwajalein) for early star wars testing. I've developed and maintained computer applications for years and was part of a team of 9 or so tasked with developing and maintaining the processes used across EDS to manage projects and develop software. I developed and maintain a website for people who are caregivers of people with Parkinson's Disease. For fun I exercise regularly, read, and play with new programming languages. My wife blesses me tremendously. She is truly my Beloved. The progeny are source of pride and wonderment.

Silence
My mother used to say, “It’s better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” It would seem to me that this advice might be embraced by many, if not most, in congress. Those who spew forth opinions as if they were facts and end up calling others names simply because their opinions differ clearly should learn that silence is the best and surest way to hide ignorance.
