Hi Theo,

You are an Angel!

We ended up flying to Boston and checked into the Sheraton, just in case you still wanted us to try out for the shortstop position for your team, and our name was indeed on the list! :-) We are very grateful, and God Bless you.

Looking forward to seeing you on the field very soon!

With Love, Tareq & Michaele Salahi

Tareq,

You are most welcome! I hear the smile in your email and am delighted that you and Michaele will try out for our open shortstop position.

This will be great publicity for our team, which has fallen off the Boston sports radar!

Have a wonderful flight and I look forward to seeing you both with gloves on.

Much love,

Theo
