Day 881
Day 881 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Abel Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Hal Brody is grieving Norma Quist. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
