21 FRIDAY - DECEMBER 1973
PILGRIMS LANDED 1620 - ST. THOMAS, APOSTLE - 355TH DAY - 10 DAYS TO COME

Red. a card from Stan Chess and returned one to him. BB had previously sent one to George and Dorothy Bredehorn including Stan.

Moved the piles of books from the west shelf of the game room upstairs to the new shelves. Didn't put them in subject order, instead putting them in groups with multiples of 5 - and usually 10 - in each group. (Actually did this yesterday and the following today.) Went over the books on the east shelves in the game room - fairly thoroughly - and moved those that haven't been cataloged upstairs.

Dana picked up an 1974 for me at Trooties.
(Gave it to me as a present.)

Ordered the bins from Sears (See 12/20).

Wrote card to Jim Scully. Mentioned PATTON, HOLIDAY,
THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, FITTING & PROPER, and ACQUIRE.
Wrote card to Paul Greenough. mentioned the same five as
above and also REALM.

Call from Phil Kaplan who was here last year with a
puzzle he called TACTICS (see 8/25/72), which was later
called KING SOLOMON'S DIVERSION. He has a new puzzle he'd
like to show me. Made date for 12/26 at 8:30. (His telephone
number 787-3849.) (Later learned name - JIGSAW MOSAIC.)

(cont. from 12/22) [12/22]

Also there was the problem of who would do the blocking,
at the expense of his own game.
Bob mentioned that he had enjoyed KGB when we played it at
S.P.I. He had thought that all mystery games had to be variations
of the CLUE mechanism.
He'd like to get together again at S.P.I. but I pointed out that
with all the people around he hadn't wanted to show his
EPAMINONDAS. He said we could meet at his house --
