Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost - 259th day - 106 days to come

Looked in my files for I-QUBES. Couldn't find it, but I'm pretty sure that KLIX is the same game.

Packaged PUSHOVER and THE 31ST HEX in homemade boxes. Copied 13 solutions - one for each type of hex - and included them with the latter.

Redid 3 pcs. [pieces] for the 18 pc. GAME that I had originally done wrong. By myself tried out my idea of last night. Not good. Another possibility: Each player (or team when four play) has his own symbol. Score for sequences, but own symbol counts double.

If have more than one bill of a similar nature collect more. (Rough idea).
Took rules of CORNER-THE-MARKET to read and return to her. She didn't have the playing equip't, since she told the inventor to hold off with sending them.
She is returning URBAN RENEWAL to its inventor.
When she saw Gary Sherbell she refused to handle CHESS WITHOUT TEARS (why?). She wanted him to take back TORTS - THE GAME OF SUIT AND COUNTERSUIT, but he begged her to keep it and she did.
She had a date with Jack Barry of Owens-Illinois. She drove there with the inventor of the GAME with lights (which I never got any details of). He liked it and kept it. He
