Dave,

When you "step up to the plate" in baseball it means you're in the game!
Not just sitting in the dugout the whole game (OR season). "Moreso" means
she'll be in the game (biz) a lot more than usual.

Now when YOU step up to the plate for dinner, that could only mean NO
LEFTOVERS!

Best,

Best,

Andy
