Day 3401
Day 3401 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Hal Brody has come down with a spectacular head cold and is being kept in for observation. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Iris Brody. 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.
