Confident He Was Cloaked

He was sure of only one thing No one knew him here He could recreate and reinvent himself This was a face they did not recognize No one would see his hair and think “Murphy boy” from over the hill. He was confident he could be, say and do outrageous things without consequence. Of course, he had forgotten about social media and how far it goes. Mother, wife, and boss were all three waiting up for him after his return flight. A video of his honesty had made it from Austria to the USA in incredible time. His mother was irritated, his wife was furious, and he lost his job. Honesty, and anonymity apparently no longer exist in our high tech world

So true, Caren. I'm not familiar with this situation, but we must never discount the reaches of social media.
