Day 1184
Day 1184 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bev Tanner has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation. A quantity of paperwork has appeared on Truman Beaumont's desk. Bev has been briefed to keep him at it. Dot Ferris is expecting a baby with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
