I'm very sick, either stomach flu or mild food poisoning.
DSR is also sick, with a bad cold and muscle aches (probably not flu, as he can still eat).
We're trading off kid duties as we can, and it's my turn after he feeds them so he can nap.

In the meantime, small pleasures:

Typo Hunt Across America:
The Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL) is dedicated to a more perfectly spelling union.

This March through May, we, sworn members of TEAL, will be taking a road trip around the country to stamp out as many typos as we can find, in public signage and other venues where innocent eyes may be befouled by vile stains on the delicate fabric of our language. We do not blame, nor chastise, the authors of these typos. It is natural for mistakes to occur; everybody will slip now and again. But slowly the once-unassailable foundations of spelling are crumbling, and the time has come for the crisis to be addressed. We believe that only through working together with vigilance and a love of correctness can we achieve the beauty of a typo-free society.
The itinerary is as follows:

* Whole of March: From Boston to San Diego, via the steamy South
* Much of April: Up the West Coast
* Late April - Mid-May: From Seattle, through the Northern plains and mighty lakes, to New England once again

He's an entertaining writer, and his stories of trying to fix typos can be pretty weird and amusing.
