On October 15, 2005, I started Bruce's Journal and kept going. It started as an AOL blog, but it transitioned into a Google blog when AOL discontinued that service. For $10/year I purchased the BruceSlutsky.com domain that I must renew every year. I wish I could purchase it in perpetuity so that when I pass away, hopefully, many years from now, my thoughts will be preserved on the Internet. I am approaching 4600 entries with about 1,100,000 hits. I question that number as I think many of them are from robots. By the way, the song above Seventeen by Boyd Bennett seen above was used in 1989 when WCBS-FM celebrated its 17th year as an oldies station.
The major topics include:
- Bob Dylan
- The New York Mets
- Other Baseball Issues
- Oldies and Classic Rock
- Family issues (I try not to be too personal here)
- Strange experiences
- Movies
- Old Friends (I usually just write the first name)
I am usually careful as anyone can read my blog. I read that a couple of people were fired after they wrote articles critical of the police department. I once got into trouble with a pompous professor from Texas.
I usually write off the top of my head, but my best articles in my opinion were
- Reviewing the times, I spent with Karen that I wrote shortly after her passing
- Remembering Alan Berman
I never know who reads the blog regularly, Nick from Long Beach, California is one, but people usually want to surf the web anonymously.
I hope I can keep writing for another 17 years when I will be 90 years old.
