I just saw an Economist video describing why the flu shot was only 23% effective this year. In case you’re interested, here’s the link:

Unfortunately, while so diligent in staying healthy while taking care of Anya, the flu hit me now. The good news is that I don’t have to take care of Anya, and I don’t seem to be hit as hard as Anya was. After a poor night of very little sleep, I’m still not able to focus much. I did some reading and watched a documentary I had on Maasai women made by a British anthropologist in the 1970s.
So, Anya went to school and off to the store to pick up some after school. It isn’t quite on the way home, but adds about half a mile to the walk home. Her friend from school went with her, as the store is not too far from her home. Anya was introduced to some Norwegian candy, which pleased her.
Did you realize that the World Ski Championships are going on? Here’s the link: http://www.fis-ski.com/ Today, the USA women earned a silver and a bronze for a total of 2 medals. (Yes, Norway is in the lead with 11 medals.)
