21 Sunday - September 1975
<br>Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost - 264th day - 101 days to come
----
Working on game diary.
<br>Played <u>DOMINOS</u> with BB and my folks.
<br><u>WOMAN'S DAY</u> had ad by Time/Life Books for
<u>THE FAMILY CREATIVE WORKSHOP</u>. Clipped it. Each volume is
$5.95 + postage.

she is bringing a children's game, <u>THE ZOO KEEPER</u>, with her.
She has played it and thinks it is lots of fun.
<br>In one of our calls <u>Felicia</u> and I discussed the possibility of
my doing a regular column for <u>DAISY</u>. She brought up that I
would have to review children's games, and I said that I just
wasn't qualified.
<br>Picked up the Sears X'Mas catalog. Tore out game- among others:
<u>PONG</u>, <u>FAST TRAK</u>, <u>THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN</u>,
<u>THE U.S.A. BICENTENNIAL GAME</u>, <u>WHATCHAMACALLIT</u>,
<u>SECRET MAGIC SESAME WORD GAME</u>, <u>HIGH STAKES</u>, <u>SPELLBOUND</u>,
<u>POWER BROKER</u>, <u>DOGFIGHT</u>, <u>SKIRMISH</u>, <u>SUB SEARCH</u>, <u>TANK BATTLE</u>,
<u>FRENZY</u>, <u>SLIGIN' SLOT</u>, <u>FACE OFF</u>, <u>HEY TAXI</u>, <u>BARNSTORMER</u>,
<u>SUPERFECTION</u>, <u>PERFECTION</u>, <u>YESTERYEAR</u>. [Filed in '75 misc.]
<br>Called Paddington Press again. The woman in charge of review copies was out again
left my number - but she didn't call back: <u>THE WAY TO PLAY</u> [illegible word crossed out].
Called <u>John Stephenson</u> and asked him how far back to go with addresses.
Not more than 2 years - unless I am sure they are still there. Told
him that I'd have 50 names at most, and I'd bring them sometime
next week.
<br>Thinking of a <u>GAME</u> played similar to <u>FREE FORM</u> but with dimen-
sional pcs. that have parts higher than others. In order to be
able to move a pc. it must be able to be gripped from two sides.
<br>Call from <u>Earl Perel</u>. He's like to get together to play games soon. I
suggested his contacting <u>Claude</u> and picking a date, and then one
of them calling me to see if I can make it.
Called Claude. Not in and spoke to Anne - mainly about the trip last week.
<br>Call from <u>Claude</u>. Made a tentative date for Thurs. of next week,
depending on which night I meet with <u>Warren Buell</u>.
<br>[started 9/23]
