I got this Ryobi as a housewarming gift from my sister in 1998. It has never failed me...and boy do I love power tools- really any tools- I am really surprised I don't have my own tool belt-I guess because more than loving a tool belt on me- I love a guy with a good tool belt! LOL-

365/236: Kindle vs. iPad-Apple Wins this Round
Apple would never allow this...a known issue (based on the number of websites, blog posts and Youtube videos describing the problem (Thanks LindaX and Greg)- yet Amazon chooses to only replace it (at my cost of $89.00) for a "refurbished" one. Not only do I have a Critical Battery- as the screen so kindly tells me- but after a little prying and 4 screws later- I pulled the battery out and the screen won't go away! So not only is my "battery" empty- theres isn't even one in the Kindle- so what is it operating on????? Perplexed and annoyed!

365/222: Mishneh Torah: History of my Name
This is the Mishneh Torah- the origination of my last name. My great, great, great, great gradnfather dropped the "h" - The Mishneh Torah- literally the "Second Law" - was the first complete codification of Jewish law by subject matter. Compiled between 1170 and 1180. There are fourteen books that make up the Mishneh Torah, this is the 8th book or Sefer Avodah (the Book of Divine Service). Pretty cool...a little bit of history

I know this isn't what you think of when you think of "The Mall" but this is one of my favorite places to walk in Central Park...The southern end is known as Literary Walk....my favorite thing about this "grand promenade" is the way the trees are- all crooked and intertwined!
