Dinner with O is the opportunity to tell him what matters and what he needs to do.

And I'd write it out on 3x5s ahead of time, to make sure that 1. I didn't leave anything out, and 2. if I got tongue-tied, I could just pul the cards out of my purse, one at a time. It would probably give him a laugh...
