Day 2885
Day 2885 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Gil Ferris has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. Alma Callahan was born to Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
