Told her that I was working on <u>LIVE WIRE-SUDDEN SHOCK</u> and that I could get it  to her next Monday. She said that she is not coming in anymore on Monday's and will try to cut out Friday's too. Also that she is telling Hallmark that I am holding up the game, not her. I said that they keep us waiting all the time, to which she answered that we need them --they don't need us.

<u>Felicia</u> called and had been trying to get me. Told her that I'd been talking to <u>Claude</u>, so she didn't have to go thru the story again. She confirmed that <u>DEDUCTION</u> and <u>BADDLE</u> were the only tow they were offering back. <u>Rael Cowan</u>, the inventor of <u>BAFFLE</u>, will do the same as Claude about it.

I told her that I had the idea for making <u>DEDUCTION</u> into a puzzle. She said that puzzle-games and two-hand duels are first priority, and it would be better if it _ my idea can be played by 2. It can, by having two room layouts and having the players open windows in turn. Felicia asked if Claude would give me a share, and I said of course.
