I was thrilled and astonished by the Supreme Court ruling on LGBT employment discrimination this morning – and even more astonished to find Gorsuch writing the opinion. SCOTUSBlog’s report is worth reading. I was also pleased that the Court refused to take up the Trump administration’s challenge to California’s sanctuary laws – this is the most hopeful I’ve been about the state of the country in months.

On our most recent (I don’t want to say “last”) cruise, we made friends with quite a few people and have even stayed Facebook friends with some of them. Today, though, we actually talked with one of our “new” friends and toured the outside of each other’s houses – it was a lot of fun, and something we should do more often!

The Los Gatos Farmers’ Market has “senior time” from 8-9am; we were there this morning during senior time to pick up our pre-ordered fish and see what else might look good – the answer was “strawberries, plums, apricots, tomatoes, and corn”. The answer nearly included cherries, but that farmer didn’t open until after 9, and we were long gone by then.

This afternoon, we indulged in a little culture and history, watching the National Theater’s broadcast of the Nottingham Playhouse’s production of The Madness of George III – it was excellent. I knew George III had suffered from mental illness after the Revolution, but I didn’t know the ramifications for English politics (I did some research after watching the play to find out more). It reminded me of the current situation in the US. The National Theatre’s stream is available through Wednesday, June 17th – I recommend watching if you can. We’ll also probably watch The Madness of King George sometime since it’s free on Amazon Prime.

There doesn’t seem to be any danger of running out of things to watch!
