Nachas is a Yiddish word that can roughly be translated as pride in someone else's accomplishments. It is often used when saying that a parent get nachas from a child. The Mets were playing in Philadelphia today. They took at 4-0 lead, but fell behind 8-4 and were down 9-5 at the end of 7 innings. They scored 3 runs in the 8th and won the game with two outs in the top of the 9th with a 2 run home run by David Wright who also hit a dinger earlier in the game. Carlos Beltran also homered in the first inning. To use a phrase popularized by the late Bob Murphy, here is the happy recap.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.
