Day 890
Day 890 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Linus Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
