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.

Guess Who I Saw at Newark Penn Station Today?

It was a normal commute today as I got off the train and Newark Penn Station. I started to walk toward the stairs to get to the Light Rail and who do I see? Governor Chris Cristie. He seemed to be having a casual conversation with two women, There was no crowd around him. I just found this article from CBS News stating that the Governor was going to Washington to see President Trump. He was likely waiting for an Amtrak train to Washington.

I sincerely hope that the Governor encountered a major train delay on Amtrak so he'll know how we feel. Many of the NJ Transit delays on the Northeast corridor are caused by Amtrak.

Next I learn you're at NJIT when my old classmate Joe Bozelli is (or was) head of the Chem Dept forever. Next I learn you're getting out in 2017 (as is my wonderful wife, an attorney at NJ Courts). Next I learn you're a Dylan follower ('nuff said).

Are you tryin' to give me a headache (smile)? Keep it up.
