Day 2 of our vacation was a trip to Six Flags Over new England which was a short 15 minute drive from our hotel. The last times I was to a Six Flags park was in 2000 when we went to Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. I am a chicken and there was no way that I would go near one of the big roller coasters as seen in the above photo. We certainly went on plenty of the more tame rides in the park. Since we went on a weekday early in the season, the park was not crowded and we never had to wait more than 10 minutes to get on a ride. I remember dreading to go to theme parks when you spent more time waiting on line than doing anything else. It was not uncommon to wat 1/2 hour or more and the ride lasted 3 minutes. It was nice being a kid again for just one day. I will post photos when I return home in a few days.Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 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 37 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.
