Problem is: "Are either of us going" sounds right too.

Either is not always singular - Either the Red Sox or the Yankees are going to win tonight, not Either the Red Sox or the Yankees is going to win.

Fair, didn't think of that. If x or y in "either x or y" is plural, the whole phrase is plural. Either the Red Sox or the Yankees are going to win, either their team or ours is going to win.

Thanks for pointing it out!
