November 1975 - Wednesday 19
323rd day - 42 days to come

Called Claude to tell him that I couldn't make it to the Thrift shops with him tomorrow. Actually he went to the Thrift Shops today. The only thing in games he saw was an old Parker box - small - for HALMA, with pieces and nothing else - for 25¢. Asked Claude to pick it up for me if he sees it again.
Told him that I had the info on BOTTOMS UP, but not the equipment. He told me he'd lett let me have the one he bought (see 11/16). Claude said he'd like my help with his movable maze (COPS AND ROBBERS) - as agent and business advisor. Told him that I doubted that I had what it takes to do that, but we can talk about it.
Friday with the Pelham Burns, but they'll be out of town. They have been seeing Wald and Maria on Saturdays and playing POWER.

(cont. from 11/23) [11/22]

I asked about the Oil GAME he mentioned last time I was there. He said that the copies he ordered haven't arrive yet and he hasn't heard from the company.
He put a copy of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE in the window and had me sign the others (9 - I believe).
I said that I had some ideas for mail order GAMES but we both agreed that it would be best to wait until after X'Mas to discuss them.
