No, do not send him to school. He's still contagious, and he might feel progressively more miserable tomorrow. Let the meds work.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Because books.
he has had no fever, just increasingly sore throat.
That used to happen with Ben all the time, and I missed strep until way late a couple of times because his throat *wasn't* really too sore.
Give him a day at home to let the meds start working.

I find it charming that a couple of my neighbors have taken to calling me for distraction/support when having awful commutes home. Just talked one down after watching the car ahead do a 360 and crash into the rail on one of the scary overpasses into downtown.

Should be - Christchurch is on a very volatile plate right now. Auckland's a couple hours' flight north, and, I think, more prone to volcanos than earthquakes. I could be wrong. I've dropped a line to them and to the people we met from Christchurch. Hopefully they're ok.
Thanks for asking JZ.

Loki wanted out. He dug in the snow and lasted 30 seconds before he was digging at the door. The whole house hates snow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am starting to get a little afraid of the end of the world...

For some reason, I dreamed last night that there was a Hollaback-Congress. I'm not convinced that HuffPo qualifies.
