Well it looks final,

I'm coming over to the great USA for christmas time (actually Hanuka
for me :-))
This is a long deserved vacation/honeymoon with my not so newly wed
wife (definitely SWMBO - I learn something new everyday :-))

I'm going to be in San Francisco and in New York City, does anyone have
recommendations of worthwhile things to see in those places - connected
to woodturning of course. Any good shoping? I need my holiday gifts -
one of these is going to be the Bed Extension for my JET MINI, and
maybe a few chisels and carving equipment.

Any other suggestions will be welcomed as well.
Moshe

Moshe,
I gotta ask - what does SWMBO stand for??

A little histroy lesson...gotta go SWMBO...is calling.

Joe

Haggard completed the novel in six weeks & presented it to his literary
agent A.P. Watt with the proclamation that that work would be the one
he would be remembered for. Certainly, he created a new class of
fantasy novel, the tale of the lost land & the lost race, but more than
that he unveiled an intriguing character, a figure of dread power which
continues to fascinate us more than one hundred years later. The
phrase, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, can be found verbatim on the English
television series, "Rumpole of the Bailey." The somewhat pompous lead
character, Rumpole, uses it to describe his domineering wife. Various
popular novelty items like coffee mugs & sweat-shirts can be bought
sporting the epigram. The American television series "Cheers" does not
use the same words, but She is there. On "Cheers", she is known as
Vera, a never-seen character with the power to terrorize the
unflappable Norm. These vestiges remain in a society that has probably
for the most part never heard of Rider Haggard's She.

Just to take things one step further, "SWMBO almost" surely migrated
to the Internet woodworking community through the Old Tools group, the
Stanley plane fanciers being fond of the notion that he was Rumpole
"of the Bailey."

Yeah, but I keep asking and I keep learning.
Never did explain what the hell an anomynizer was! After your post to DJ I'd
say you're on Venus and I'm in a cave when it comes to computers.

Thanks, Joe, cool answer.

Around here : Susan Was My Best Option

Nice to have an alternative so easily at hand to respond to feminine
questions.

Sorry, Tom - I though you knew... An anonymizer is used when web
browsing to hide your true identity - It conceals your IP address.
There used to be a few free services available, but I now see they
have all gone commercial.
As for the SWMBO, I believe the term was used by Rumpold of the Bailey
- an old BritCom.

Moshe -

Moshe,

When you come to San Francisco I am sure you will browsing the stores at
Ghiradelli Square. There is a small store that sells woodturnings that are
outstanding. I don't remember the name of the store but it is in Ghiradelli
Square, which incidentally is not very far from Fisherman's Wharf, walking
distance in fact. You should visit both locations, Fisherman's Wharf and
Ghiradelli Square. Ooops, almost forgot, another nice area to visit is Pier
39. All are within walking distance of each other. Great Restaurants and
shops. Enjoy your trip........Ralph

Moshe,

You must make sure and take a trip to Muir Woods in Marin County. It is not
far from San Francisco. If you have never seen the giant Redwood Trees
before this is a treat. There are guided tours that take you there but you
can easily drive there if you have a car rental. Also not too far from San
Francisco, 1 hour drive, is the wine country area in Napa and Sonoma
Counties. Lots to see and do. I am sure you will have available to you all
the advertisements for this area. Again, enoy your trip......Ralph
