- A car service ride from my home in Flushing to LaGuardia Airport cost $27.50 without the tip. On the way home, a yellow cab charged me $16 for the same ride.
- Many branches of banks have closed since so many transactions can be done online. Today a CD from a bank that used to have a branch in my neighborhood closed. I had to make a short trip to Whitestone to close that account and take the check to another bank that offered much higher interest.
- Thankfully, the trade deadline in MLB has come and gone. I was tired of reading articles speculating about trades that were never made. In any event, the salaries that professional athletics are getting are so outrageous.
- I read an article in New York Magazine about the dating app, Tinder. Most of their users were kids under 25. I guess dating apps have replaced the singles dances of the 1960s and 70s.
- I attended a few meetings of seniors in eastern Queens. The topics of discussion were so boring. I'll try this group one more time before deciding whether or not to stay with them. I just hate it when people talk about their medical problems.
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.
