Tomorrow is Vanessa's birthday, so we had an adult breakfast at Heidi's Pies. Beech was in school and Annie was at daycare, which is her usual Friday routine. It was nice to have a leisurely meal, and for a change Vanessa actually ate hers.

Last night I watched the Sharks beat Edmonton 2-1. It looks now like they will have the most points of any team in the NHL, and so will have the home ice advantage all the way through the Stanley Cup playoffs, if they make it that far.

After the hockey game I watched a DVD of the movie An American Crime. It was a very disturbing movie based on the trial transcript of an actual crime in Indiana in the late sixties. It was about degenerate Christian white trash neglecting, torturing, and eventually killing, a young girl. Ellen Page plays the victim. Maybe it was her first movie, because she must have been only about thirteen years old. I only give it three stars in spite of the fact that it was very powerful and realistic so I don't really recommend that you watch it..
