In the recent election in Boston, Marty Walsh was elected the new mayor. It seems that there are six Martin Walshes in the Boston directory and when Joe Biden called to congratulate, he was connected to the wrong Marty. Biden being Biden he probably congratulated the surprised Marty for being Irish.
Similarly, there are at least two Jonathan Martins out there - one a professional football player and the other a reporter for a prominent New York newspaper - the latter recently finding his hashtag buzzing with unanticipated activity - some of which unprintable. Then I began to think that there are hundreds of individuals out there bearing my own surname and, hopefully, none of them commits a heinous crime else my dormant "hashtag" will come alive from those vicious vendors of venomous vitriol. Alas, such is life when fame or fortune - albeit misplaced - comes your way.
