AND YES, I DO BELIEVE OMAR SHARIF WAS CAST AS THE FATHER IN THE MOVIE HIDALGO BECAUSE OF THE RUSSIAN I GOT DEFECTED, THE COACH NICKNAMED ME SHERIFF (LIKE HE COULDN’T PRONOUNCE MY NAME, I’M SO SURE) IT MADE HIM LOOK STUPID TO ME; HOWEVER, I HAD A SORT OF PERSONAL POLICY OF MINE, WHEN INTRODUCED TO NEW PEOPLE I WOULD CORRECT THE PRONUNCIATION OF MY NAME, USUALLY THREE WAS THE MOST, AND IF THE PERSON COULD ONLY GET SO CLOSE IN PRONOUNCING, CHERITH, I LET IT GO, I DIDN’T LET IT INTERFERE WITH – THE REST OF WHAT COULD BE, MY THINKING, THE CONVERSATION. OF COURSE, I PREFERRED MY NAME TO BE PRONOUNCED CORRECTLY, BUT IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME, THAT THE OTHER PERSON DIDN’T FEEL BAD IF THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PRONOUNCE MY NAME, I’VE DONE THAT, AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. MY SOFTBALL MITT HAS SHERIFF AS MY NAME WRITTEN ON IT FROM OREGON, AND IT MOSTLY LOOKS LIKE A STORY, HE, THE FATHER, WOULD HAVE WANTED TO KNOW, HOW A LITTLE GIRL IN BRAIDS ASKED FOR THE SCARIEST INTELLIGENCE AGENT TO BE BROUGHT TO HER, WITH OTHER MEN MORONS, TO PREVENT WORLD WAR III FROM HAPPENING BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE WORLD WAS HEADED AT THE TIME.
