16 Sunday - November 1975
Twenty-sixth Sunday after Pentecost - 320th day - 45 days to come

Wrote to Pierre Berloquin saying I'd keep the time open that he will be here - and will await his call.
Called Claude to tell him that I couldn't meet him this com- ing Friday because of Pierre's coming in. Set date for Friday after. At thrift shops Claude picked up copies of BOTTOMS UP (Embossing co. - not the board game) and COMPLETION (which I informed him was by Howard Wexler); he doesn't think that all the cards are there.
In two different bazaars in Queens bought SET POINT (for $3) and TELL IT TO THE JUDGE (for $1). The instructions and "Judge Card" were missing (checked against set I already have). The box was in poor shape but I fixed it up so that it stays to- gether.
From TIMES clipped ad for THE CONTRACTING GAME.
Saw ad for Deluxe SCRABBLE on TV.
