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 hope My Most Popular Tweet Was Not Misunderstood

Since October 2007 I have posted 9165 Tweets, most of which have received few if any retweets or likes. On August 18th I posted:

I just heard on the August 1 Inside Jeopardy Podcast that the producers are thinking about a tournament with all librarians.

I specifically included my source and that the producers are thinking about holding such a tournament. In two days this tweet received 32 retweets and 232 likes. I assume that most are from librarians who want to become contestants on Jeopardy.

Please understand that this librarian's tournament is not definite. The "Powers that Be" at Jeopardy can reject this idea completely or table it. It may not happen for another few years. I think it is a good idea as Jeopardy has held tournaments with teachers for many years.
