Yesterday I resumed my usual Tuesday routine of picking Beech up at school at noon and taking him to lunch. He now prefers to go to Subway where he is known by the workers behind the counter. After we ate I declined to stop at another store and buy him a toy, but took him home where we read part of one of his new Dr. Seuss books. He is making progress on his reading, but he seems mostly to want to work it out for himself instead of having me help him. After he tired of reading, we played some of his new Wii games.

In the evening I watched a DVD of the movie Whip It. Ellen Page plays a seventeen-year old school girl who sneaks out to become a Roller-Derby star. The skating was new and interesting to me, but the plot was pretty simplistic and formulaic, so I only give it three stars.
