27 Tuesday - March 1973
86th Day - 279 Days to Come

Called Felicia and told her that Aurora had come out with a game called PURSUIT, so that George Bredehorn won't be able to use the name PURSUIT. She said that she knew about it, but she did appreciate my calling to tell her. She said that she had played a little of the game with Stan Chess yesterday, but now wasn't sure that she liked it. Told her I'd come in tomorrow and play it with her. Also that I'd bring my SEE THE U.S.A. to show to her.

Made the city cubes and two of the boards for SEE THE U.S.A.

Wrote a note to Keith Tuggle thanking him for POUNCE, NIX, LINKUP, and UPON MY WORD. Didn't mention HABITAT, TAKE-A-WORD, or SUPER-TAC-TOE.

Edith gave BB a cartoon from PLAYBOY magazine about "The Funnin Games Co." (Filed in '73 misc.)
