Day 865
Day 865 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Elaine Whitlow is a delighted new parent. Marla Finch is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
