Severn drives his rattletrap Hyundai up the driveway to the Tavern. There's still a sign up on the front door that says Chef wanted, which is not a GOOD sign by any means. He sees our security man Len the Lawn Moor and ask him if anyone has shown up and he claims neither he nor Semi-Modo up in the bell tower has seen a sign of anybody, not even the alligator who brings Cajun food every year and tends bar, but the checks keep coming in and there's still some food in the kitchen, so they might as well say on the job. The parking lot and the stables are empty. There's a pallet of cases of green Jello waiting to be brought inside for the Squid family's Jello pit. A quick look in the mailbox reveals a Christmas Card from Defrosty he retired snowman, who's quit his Snomadic ways and settled down with a snowlady in Antarctica somewhere. Severn gives Les the Mood his contact information in case anybody shows.I Severn waves goodbye and gets back in the battered Hyundai, turns around and heads for home to plan his next radio shows.....
