Wednesday 1 January 1969
Happy New Year - Circumcision
1st day - 364 days to come


Finished writing up SLAM. Decided to deop PIX since chapter 3 was running bigger than I expected.

Sent a card with a note to Mary Hilt of Whitman who sent me
a small book as a greeting. Came Monday.

Called Bob Abbott to tell about the book MATHEMATICAL GAMES I saw
yesterday. He said his book was doing well in paperback, he was told.
I read him what I wrote about him and he liked what I said and also
[CROSS OUT ILLEGIBLE] thought it was great writing. Invited him to come here next
Wednesday.

Dana & Dale checked chapter VI. Dale thought that completing 5
games of CHANGE CHANGE in 100 moves is too easy.
