SEPTEMBER 1977 * FRIDAY 16
259TH DAY * 106 DAYS TO COME

After lunch here (because of rain) I went with Claude and Anne
to Thrift Shop in Children's Village in Dobb's Ferry. Bought
a homemade but quite attractive :Turntable" - for $1.50;
AD-LIB unused - for $1.50 (discovered that I have it);
a book TABLESPORTS - 10¢ (without a cover); "Template" with "word"
symbols - 10¢; 4 sets of 5 holders for recipes - 15¢ each
(originally bought for BB but she decided not to use them - they
may be used for mounting informational material in games).
Before we went out Claude and I played two games of LOA,
splitting. Then I showed him TWISTS 'N' TURNS.
When we returned had supper with Claude buying a pizza.
Claude showed me a variation of his WATCH. A player can
move, as well as the regular orthogonal move, to any tile of the
same color; so being forced to move to tile of the same
'color as that on which the opponent's PC. is onj, is a loss. Played
well.
