When I got back to the hotel, there was a note to call Philadelphia operator.

[[/underline]] [[underline]] I feel good [[/underline]] not to be drinking. But I still [[underline]] smoke [[/underline]] too much.

Lockwood's yacht but Charlie Creasser called the party off so we could all work on the material flow program and I pushed a baby slide rule from 8 to 11 PM until I could barely see straight.
