Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Ticket Buying Weekend

I'm in my Sunday night grrove of listening to Brian Matthew's show on BBC2. Thank goodness for Internet Radio since commercial radio on AM/FM radio is so crappy these days after the demise of WCBS-FM. Lee is watching his buddy Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes. Yesterday I ordered a 6 pack of tickets for the Mets. This is the only way that I could get tickets for a Met-Yankee game. Today I ordered tickets for Ring of Fire, the musical based on the music of Lee's beloved Johnny Cash. I ordered tickets for Saturday February 18th while the show is still in Previews. I had wanted to see the musical Lennon, but it closed after a few weeks. Hopefully, Ring of Fire will be a success. We saw the Elvis Presley musical All Shook Up, last year, but it closed within a few months. Today we drove to Hofstra to see the Women's basketball team beat Drexel 65-52. If we had stayed home we would have seen the Giants lose to the Carolina Panthers 23 -0.
