$3,500 for lunch with Theo?

I know it is for a good cause and all(benefits The Home for Little Wanderers, where his bro works) but that is a LOT of money. This better not be the divorce settlement lady from Hot Stove Cool Music. She allready had a chance to "chat" with him. I mean I get to chat with him all the time so this is no biggie for me.... and he seriously needs to make a decision to be with the Sox or not. If he does come back I may have to tell him that he should have done this a week or so ago. Our team is half gone... did he just not want to be the bad guy? Maybe i will ask him when he calls.
