About Me

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.

Calming Affect

I was told that L-Theanine, an amino acid derivative from the Camellia sinensis plant, has a natural calming affect and helps to relieve stress.  My Beloved sits next to a nice lady who finds it necessary to talk all the time.  This constant chatter gets in the way of the successful completion of assigned tasks.  I suggested that she might give the talkative co-worker a Theanine capsule and tell her that it will give you a calming affect if she will place it against one lip and hold it tightly in place with the other.

For some reason my thoughtfully crafted advice was shunned.
