Matt Helm: "Shouldn't we be introduced first?"

Babe: "You're Matt Helm."

"That's good enough for me!"

--The Silencers


    Baked raisin bread.


    Tried to go see Dr. Ang about my "stitch," but she isn't in on Thursdays.


    Did some more campaign leafletting along Arlington and Rushton streets, which I'd planned to do two days ago.


    I was late getting home for dinner, which was fish.


    In the evening I finished the area west of Christie Street. (We need a new doorbell!  I forgot my house key, and when I came home I rang five times, but they only heard me when I banged on the door!)


    Saw Phil Karlson's The Silencers, the first of the secret agent series featuring Matt Helm.  A languid spoof of James Bond with an emphasis on the drinking and womanizing, it's very much a Dean Martin vehicle.  What a 1960s artifact!
