About elipongo
I'm a single, Modern Orthodox, Jewish man.
I live in Ellington CT and I'm currently the Co-President of my synagogue, Congregation Knesseth Israel.
I work as a paramedic for the Ambulance Service of Manchester, a commercial ambulance service that does both emergencies and routine transports throughout the region.
In addition to my Paramedic License, I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I enjoy Bicycling, Reading (Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Biographies, History), Blogging, Watching Movies on DVD (Yeah Netflix!), and meeting people.
I'm looking for that proverbial nice Jewish girl who isn't intimidated by someone who's observant. I want to settle down and raise a nice, observant family.

OK I was wondering why New York is called The Big Apple. What does it mean & why does it mean that.
Thanks!
The Wikipedia has a nice article on this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Apple
Basically, they're not really sure. One prevailing theory is that it refers to a section of Manhattan where there were a lot of Jazz clubs that the Jazz players called "The Apple". That if a Jazz player got to be really successful, he got to play in the big apple.
