Tugboat's In

After my golf outing, I called Dad to check if there were any car wash messages. There weren’t.

Where's William?

William had told Dad he would be released from prison in August. I don’t believe that to be the case—he or his daughter, Amelia, likely would have informed Dad if it were true.
