Yesterday I did laundry and read The Economist. In the evening I watched a DVD of the movie Spartan, a David Mamet movie staring Val Kilmer. Like all David Mamet movies it is complex and strange but fun to watch. I give it four stars. Joshua called yesterday to say that the process is started to refinance his house. His APR will be 4.99 percent. It will probably take about a month before he actually gets the money.

Yesterday I had my regular outing with Beech to Burger King and his gymnastics class. Otherwise I continued reading The Economist until time for the Sharks game. Josh came over to watch with me, but we discovered that it was on TV on a channel that I do not get. We tuned it in on the radio, but Josh went home to listen to it. The Sharks gave up three goals in the first period, so it was pretty disgusting. Joe Thornton then scored in the second period, and then again in the third. Patrick Marlow also scored in the third period to tie the game. Unfortunately, Phoenix scored with a few seconds to go, so the Sharks lost 3-4.

After the game I watched a DVD of the movie Traitor. It is a thriller in which Don Cheatel play an American Muslin who infiltrates a Middle Eastern terrorist organization. I give it four stars.
