Pop is at Kay's place, and for a longer period than usual. It's only Monday, and he said that he does not expect to return until Thursday. I have a feeling, though, that he misspoke, perhaps thinking that today is Tuesday. In any case, it is an unexpected and happily received break, though I also worry about what it might cost. I get the impression that Kay has become more aggressive about seeing what she can get from Pop. The last time she was here, I overheard her asking what Pop is doing for money, considering all the groceries that we get and his general Big Daddy routine, practically asking for his tax returns and financial statements. It's a question I have been curious about myself, of course: how does he do it? I didn't hear Pop's answer.
