Day 563
Day 563 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bedside book club convenes at Seahaven General — chapter five, at last! Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
