Am playing this fab new game. You can play it without spending any money, although I am starting to collect the puzzle cards. And of course, there are helpful discussion boards to push you in the right direction. For one of the puzzles in the trickiest category (silver-bordered cards), for example, the general consensus is that it's a solitaire cipher.

So, of course, I follow a link from this discussion group to bone up on Solitaire, and whose name hits me straight in the face?

The world is too goddamned small. :o)

You shouldn't be that surprised, they've corresponded quite a bit.

So it seems. It's not my field, though, is it? I was just getting into a game, see.

Actually my work on Solitare was one of the things that kick-started that correspondence.

I remember talking with you about it a long time ago.

I was thinking of you recently actually, as I've been packing up stuff I found the run of the APA that I was in with him, a lot of what he was writing about during that time was what he went through trying to get the book published.
