While I was moving out of the big room, Pop had settled in and was talking on the phone about his Thanksgiving plans. I was wondering why he had not said anything to me. Although it is still only the 16th, he usually has already approached me about what we should do for the big meal. Maybe he made this call in order to inform me in a discreet fashion. In truth, I was kind of hoping that he might go elsewhere for Thanksgiving, whether to Jack and Jill's or someone else, perhaps with Kay or Lorie. It sounds like he will be going elsewhere, but nothing personal and homey. It sounds like he is looking to go downtown and take advantage of Jimenez's feast (the successful restaurateur who has made a tradition of putting out a big, free Thanksgiving meal). I am not going to count on this coming to pass, as though it is a promise, but my fingers are crossed hoping that it is full speed ahead.
