Day 1979
Day 1979 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Abel Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Kip Doyle is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Ned Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
