Adventures of Pebble Beach

Jon and Adam continue to consume enormous quantities of food. Every once in a while, when Pebble is least expecting it, they reward her efforts to become Mother of the Century with a rare flash of kindness or brilliance. Sometimes, too, without her asking for it, they wash all the dishes and vacuum clean the entire apartment. When this happens, Pebble is quite sure she died and went to heaven.
Pebble’s mother, Molly, never mellows, even with age. But when her brother Mel tells her that Pebble is dating Richard Davis, and that Richard Davis could, perhaps, become a serious candidate in the life of her star daughter, Molly is instilled with new hope for the future. Her father’s only comment is, “Maybe she’ll get married and come home.”
