Called Phil Orbanes. He was sick yesterday and didn't see Carl Eisenberg. That is why, he said, he wasn't in a good mood when I dropped in Wednesday. I asked about the games, 6 of each of REALM, CARTEL, MONTAGE, INFINITY, and BRIDGETTE, he said he was sending me. He already put in the request and will check on what is holding it up.
