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.

The Mets are Hot! Hot! Hot!

This is by far the Mets best start in history winning 10 out of the first 12 games. There are still 150 games to go and of course anything can happen. Tonight Pedro Martinez beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3 for his 200th career victory. Carlos Delgado and Xavier Nady hit home runs for the Amazins. Atlanta is the team that the Mets have to beat, but tonight Chipper Jones and Edgar Rentaria were out with injuries. The big games will be June 27, 28, and 29th at Fenway. If the Mets win all 3 games Pagebyrner will have to listen to the audio tapes of all librarian and faculty library committee meetings since he left NJIT. If the Red Sox win all three games, I will grow a pony tail. Anyway, its looks like an exciting season.
