Yes, I’m seeking your help… no, we weren’t mugged while
visiting Paris and can’t pay our hotel bill without your financial assistance
because our flight leaves in 4-hours or the good-ol’: “Permit me to inform you of my desire to go into business relationship
with you after going through your profile and I prayed over it and selected
your name among other names due to the nature of my proposal, which requires a
reputable and trustworthy person. Someone who will be kind and sincere to me.
My father was the wealthy Cocoa King of Ivory Coast and…”
I’m asking for your help in determining a question I’ve been
curious about. Some background: when finishing out one of our assignments at
Petra we met our DOI-ITAP and USAID contacts at the Starbucks near the US
embassy in Amman. When I placed my order the baristas jaw dropped and he
quickly called a colleague over that had better English language skills. She
explained that her co-worker wanted to know if I was an actor. I told them that
I wasn’t, but my son was (thinking that certain undercover & covert

When I got back home, I thought about this exchange and
streamed the 1st season on Netflix, at the conclusion of which I
wondered: do I look like Stacy Keach, the warden?
Justin reminded me that there are several
other seasons to the series. So, I'm asking for anyone out there familiar with this show and that can
help with some hints to do so. I’ve included a photo of us at Petra (above) so you have something
to compare: I’m not aware of George Clooney, Harrison Ford or Tom Cruise doing a role with
that production (as I thought they could've doubled for us) but, I’m still waiting…
Hope all are well as we start 2013 (and approach 4610 “Year of the Snake”).
