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.

Facebook Friend Inventory

Tonight I decided to inventory my Facebook friends and categorize them. I really should defriend many of them, not because they are undesirable in any way, but because I have not maintained an online or personal relationship with them. When I first got on Facebook about 10 years ago I was anxious to friend people, but since then the novelty has worn off and I am reluctant to make friends with people I don't know. Sadly some of my Facebook friends have passed away.
