A couple was spooning at a Coldplay concert where a kiss cam caught them. Then realizing they were on camera, the couple pulled apart where the woman hid her face in her hands and then turned away while the man ducked down. All while Chris Martin said to the crowd, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
It was found that the man was the CEO of Astronomer and the woman was the HR chief. The CEO is married (to someone else!) and since has been placed on leave by the board of directors. So I guess this makes him the vict-him. It doesn’t say what is happening to the HR chief so maybe she is keeping her job and this would make her the vict-her. Or maybe the CEO’s wife will leave him, making her the vict-her.

The small city of St. Thomas, Ontario has a statue of Jumbo the Elephant that is the largest tourist attraction there. The world famous Jumbo, in the 19th century, was hit by a train in St. Thomas and died, receiving international attention at the time.
Now there is a museum exhibit in St. Thomas, telling of the event and Jumbo’s world wide fame at the time. One of the prize exhibits is a cross section slice of one of Jumbo’s tusks.
I was fine with the statue. It just signified the event of Jumbo’s passing. But a museum exhibit takes in some money and that does rankle. They are profiting from being the most incompetent city in Ontario. Why was an unscheduled train on the tracks just when Jumbo was on them?
Perhaps St. Thomas has come up with a new money making scam. Taylor Swift, I suggest you don’t perform there. Who knows what kind of “accident” could happen during such an occasion. If you happen to die there, expect a museum and statue. But with none of the money collected going to your estate.

Just recently I saw an ad for The Open. “Which open was that?” I wondered. I think it was golf because I saw golfers. But it could have been the French Open or Australian Open of tennis. They might just be advertising that they have good golfing in their area as well as tennis.
But it’s much more likely that The Open is golf. Since the advertisement was in Canada, shouldn’t it be the Canadian Open? But I think I heard that the Canadian Open was last month.
So could it be the U.S. Open which is the most populous of the golf adept nations? Or maybe it was an ad for the British Open? Didn’t the isle of Great Britain invent the sport in the first place? So that might make them the most pre-eminent golfing nation and excuse them while they just call it The Open.
I don’t know. After all this pondering on the question I think I know as little now as when I first saw the ad. But if they’re a little bit vague about what they’re advertising, I can be a little vague about watching this tournament. If they just can’t come up with a name, how about the “I’m Keeping My Options” Open.
