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.

I Got a Final Jeopardy Question That Ken Jennings Missed

This week is the battle of 15 top notch Jeopardy players from the 2000s. The Final Jeopardy answer was (my wording may not be exact) The city in which George Pillsbury was mayor. The correct questions was What is Minneapolis? Ken and his two opponents got the question wrong while yours truly got it right. It really didn't matter since Ken had clinched victory before the final round.

I am certain that if I played a real game against Ken, he would beat me very badly. Anyway the big tournament of the 15 winners of the 3 decade mini-tournaments will take place in May.
