Downtown and deposited the AGOG check in the "United Mutual Bank."

To "Skunk Works." Played THE STOCK MARKET GAME with 3 others and a fourth who was only the broker. Played only 6 months of the simple game. Played MINE A MILLION (new name - BUSINESS GAME) with 3 others. This was more fun.
Jim Dunnigan had flyers offset but didn't get them from the printer yet. I'll pick them up during the week, also brochures. He hasn't had a chance to get me a press card yet.
Took six copies of issue 22 and 2 ea. of 19 & 20. S&T.
Jim is still negotiating with Vidmer to put money into "Poultron [sentance crossed out] Press" but they are not completed yet.

Felicia called. Garry Sherbell called her about TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS. He insists on calling me about it and Felicia couldn't stop him. I said it was OK.
Felicia said that she decided not to handle anything of Gini Scott's except an active GAME played with hoops & scoops.
When at Felicia's today she showed me a picture of an outdoor GAME that "3M" was interested in. Basically it is a series of posts on which players spin saucers (like the act in the early days of TV).

Gary Sherbell called and told me the ideas behind his changes. If you have a bad hand it is difficult to improve it without going thru a few losing court trials. The extra cards for using an Appeal card he felt slowed down the game. I agreed and suggested cutting out the extra cards for a 7. He'll think about that.

Using the tiles I got today I worked out a PUZZLE I have been thinking about for a while. 24 are placed as shown with the same face showing. Jump over one or more tiles in a straight line, including diagonally. Tiles jumped over
