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.

First Spring Training Game Today

It didn't matter that the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2 in Port St. Lucie. It just meant that since spring training games have just started, the regular season can't be too far away. This year opening day is early on March 29. Hopefully, it won't be cold that day. New manager Micky Callaway let the pitchers go only one for one inning. Both established Mets and rookies not likely to make the team appeared in today's game. If there are no major injuries, the Amazins should be competitive this season. At this point we can only hope for the best.
