20 Saturday - December 1975
354th day - 11 days to come

Rcd. a "card" from David Greenwald.
Speaking to our new postman and he had heard somewhere that I was a game inventor. Told him about BEYOND TIC TAC TOE and he said he'd like to buy it and have it autographer [sic]. Told him that I'd give him one. I'll also include AGOG, the two for X'Mas.
In sending an X'Mas card to Mary-Ellen (Soucie) who sent us some spi chutney through Claude, we promised to send her a copy of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE.
BB spent X'Mas card to Stan Chess and the Sapersteins.
