So I've managed to get the flu... and only right before a scheduled weekend of parting and such... (sigh!)

I'm not really a pills person so I'm doing the salt water gargle and neti and chicken soup thing...

Anyone else have any tried and true 'cures' for the seasonal bug?

I'm a member of the local chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

Essentially a bunch of us will drag our scopes out to the Ontario Science Centre and set them up so the public can have a boo at all the wonderful things 'up there'

Jupiter and it's moons, several comets, star clusters like the Pleiades and so on...

and of course reassuring everyone that teh world isn't gonna end in 7 weeks...
