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 The First COVID Vaccine Today with Excellent Service for the Walgreens in Downtown Flushing

Persistence does pay off as I was able to get an appointment for the COVID Vaccine at the local Walgreens. My biggest surprise was how efficient the service was at Walgreens in Flushing. My appointment was at 2:30 and I got the shot at 2:25. It was over in a few seconds. My appointment for dose 2 is on March 31 at Walgreens in College Point. I am not familiar with that immediate area so I will have to take a drive over there to see if there is a parking problem there. If so, I can take the Q20 bus there.

I originally thought I would get my vaccination at Citi Field, but I could not get through. Walgreens is actually more convenient. I heard on the TV news that people had to wait for hours at Citi Field for their shot. Hopefully, fans will be allowed in the stadium early in the 2021 season. I certainly missed going to games last season.
