Orangemen's Day 193rd day - 172 days to come
Seventh Sunday after Trinity

Some more work on the Memory GAME and brought it to the Baschkopf's, but didn't get a chance to play.

Played OCTRIX in evening with BB, Phil, and Dale; then with BB & Dana. Used my version that the trick number is the value of that trick, multiplied by the number in sequence.
