Yesterday I picked Beech up at school and took him to Burlingame for a haircut and then to McDonalds for lunch. I also read over half of a book Vanessa gave me titled The Explosive Child, which has some helpful tip about how to help us help Beech avoid his meltdowns.

In the afternoon Joshua came over and watched the Sharks play the Redwings in Detroit. The Redwings went ahead 2-0 in the first period, but 1.8 seconds before the period ended, Setogucci scored for the Sharks. In the second period the Redwings scored again to make it 3-1. In the third period Thornton and Coutour (a rookie recently brought up from the farm team) scored and sent the game into overtime. In overtime Thornton passed to Marleau on a two-on-one breakaway and won the game, so the Sharks are now ahead three games to zero in the series. All of us fans are now thinking maybe the Sharks are finally starting to be the team we all thought they could be.
