"So you don't blame him?" "Blaming is for God and small children"--Papillon

Dreamed of our old Electrohome TV set; a non-existent episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in which Mary went on a date and her date threatened to strangle her with a scarf, and his relatives showed up and it turned out this was a kinky game he played with all his dates!

Got a Prince Valiant reprint and seven new Classics Illustrated comics.

Headache.

Finished the Ten Commandments comic.

Dinner was scalloped potatoes and ham.

Baked raisin bread.

Went to the Simplicity Meetup.  There was nobody else there, but I wasn't really eager anyway.

Saw Franklin J. Schaffner's Papillon at the Revue, with Steve McQueen as a convict who repeatedly escapes from Devil's Island.  Long and rather conventional, but I'm a sucker for there macho epics. (It was projected on video, and the sound could have been better.)
