Day 5649
Day 5649 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming. Kip Doyle nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
