THURSDAY 3 FEBRUARY 1966 34th day - 331 days to come

Rcd. the 4th quarter 1965 royalty report for ACQUIRE. $2,949.96. Disappointing because we expected considerably more than last year.

To I/S. Alice, Felicia, & Ruth there. Played GO AND SEE. Alice and Felicia at first both objected to adding money. But they all loved it after we finished. I won. Ruth particularly appreciated what I had accomplished.

Before I came they had played a new version of PEACHY. Use the "peachy" deck, 7 suits of 5 cards each (5 - 10 - 15 - 20 - 25) and a "peachy" card - making 36 in all. Divide them equally (discarding 1 if 5 or 7, the maximum, play). Play in tricks. No trump. Winner of a trick loses 5 points, except the last trick. Peachy can only be played on the last trick. Winner of the last trick scores (+) for the "peachy" (50 points) and any other cards (point value) in the trick. There is also a bonus for winning the last trick by leading "Peachy" (how much?). Scoring would have to be balanced to take into account the different numbers of players.

Hallmark had sent back the copies of GLIB and FACTS-IN-FIVE that Bill Dodge had sent them. He told Alice I could keep them. Took them home. Also took some Toys & Novelties and a British magazine.
