12 FRIDAY - MAY 1972
133RD DAY - 233 DAYS TO COME
Rcd. a carbon of a letter from Bob Gellman to Jean Silbert
concerning the errors I found in the HOLIDAY board.
Bernie Lane called in answer to my call of 5/9. Told him that
I still hadn't been paid by Xerox. He'll prod them.
I asked about the beanbags and they had another 100 made,
but had them filled with birdseed, as being less sharp. But
they are too light to slide down the ramp. They are still
"learning about beanbag technology".
I asked if I could ride up to pick up the box of game
parts he took back from Rochester. But Sym lives close to
Marylin and will drop it off tomorrow morning.
Finished the marking cards for COMPUTER BINGO. Took it
with me when we went to Felicia's but we never got the
chance to play.
Felicia told me that the girls who did JUNK had met
someone in Connecticut who did a GAME (probably a MONOPOLY
variation) and wants to go into business with his game and
theirs, plus another children's GAME they did. He expects
them to put up some of the money.
Bradford Bailey brought her some children's card games she liked.
Earl called with suggestions for COMPUTER BINGO. Have company names on
the boards and have peoples names on the
markers and the object is to place people in jobs. Thanked him.
Asked about ITINERARIES. He is thinking of adding
populations of the cities as an additional possibility for
determining the winner of the trick. But is going to
come down to 48 cards.
Finally rcd. the package (invoice date 3/20) from Alfons Rubbens
with 4000 A.D., SPECULATE, and CHESSWORD.
Rcd. FRANCE 1940 from A.H.
Rcd. CRISS CROSS from Ideal.
(cont. from 5/25) [5/25]
short of cash and I loaned her $5. She will show
TAM-BIT, TAKE FIVE, and PSYCHE-PATHS to Kontrell next week.
Didn't get a chance to tell her what Petricelli told me.
To Small Wonders. Tom Atwater will drive up for lunch tomorrow.
He gave me a copy of SNOWFLAKE. It contains two games -
SNOWFALL and GLACIER.
I fooled around with a PUZZLE whose name and details I
didn't get. There are a number of equilateral triangles which are
strung together as shown.
[Diagram of 8 triangles pointing down, connected at corners. Alternating black and white in color.]
There are 7 different patterns (one for each day) to be formed by
folding the triangles together. Some have empty interior spaces.
To Hausen. Asked Mr. Tripp to send me a glossy and the list price
and an address for LAND-BARON.
