Some good political news

Yay, Iowa! The Iowa Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a ruling that limiting marriage to mixed-sex couples violates the state constitution, and ordered that marriage licenses be issued to same-sex couples within the next three weeks.

I'd lost track of this case, as we were all watching California and I kept a cautious eye on the NY legislature*


*always the best kind, though in this case I was hopeful they'd do something good, not wary that they'd take something away.

Another gym entry

It turns out the person who is now sitting across the corridor from me is a member of my gym, and we spent a little while talking about different branches, and agreed that while in theory it's nice to know that they have some that are open 24 hours a day from Monday morning through Saturday evening, neither of us was likely to take advantage of this. She sometimes exercises before work, but since we get to work a little after 9, and most of the clubs open around 6, the 24-hour branch is less relevant than whichever is otherwise convenient and/or appealing.

And then we both headed out and went to different gyms. I hope she enjoyed her workout too.
