Thinking of a GAME - puzzle idea. Have a number of 10 x 10 grid boards
with holes in (say) half of the spaces. There are enough
pieces of (say) 6 x 2, 5 x 3, 4 x 3 with pegs on part of the
spaces. Object to place the pcs. on the boards
to either 1) cover the entire board or 2) arrange
connected pieces to touch all 4 edges.

[Diagram of a 3 x 4 grid. 5 of the 12 spaces are marked with circles. An arrow pointing to the lower left corner says 'possibly plastic']

Met with Felicia and Alice at their house. Looked at a game
called SHOW BUSINESS. It was a MONOPOLY imitation played with dice-
(get an extra throw for landing on another player, not for throwing
a double). When land on a "play" can option it if wish to. Pay a
specific amount for the option. Then collect a specific amount
of "angel" money.
