Day 397
Day 397 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Rex Callahan took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Bev Tanner is not currently speaking to Kip Doyle. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Sunrise CafÉ takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
