Ah yes... the "natural beauty" of Santa Royale... 'It's SO beautiful and peaceful, in fact, I had to go on vacation to the Pax Resort to relax and unwind from all the stress of dealing with the natural beauty and peace here'.
Mary used to live in New York in 1929, when Dear Jack took a header off the Flatiron Building when the stock market crashed.
I suppose some mousy woman Mary hasn't met yet but who will be perfect for Adam will transform his life. Then he will be eternally grateful to Mary. Is there a waitress at Diner who fits the bill?
I hope Mary asks Adam if his disability causes him any issues with driving a car - we all learned what happens when there is a near miss in the Grocery Store Market parking lot.
Tysons Corner Mall security guard Adam Miller was slightly injured when the Segway he was riding collided with a Rascal Scooter being driven by a 93-year-old woman whom Miller suspected of shoplifting in Victoria's Secret. Miller received a sprained ankle and a pink slip, and the 93-year-old woman received a large settlement from the mall corporation and a pink slip from Victoria's Secret.
OMG! Adam Miller is really Hanna's barely-acknowledged son! And the reason they are estranged is because he used to be Adele Dingdon, and now he's transitioning to Adam Miller (because Adam Dingdon is just too silly). And he wants to feel close to his estranged mother, so he's rented her condo! And he enjoys sniffing the drapes because they have her scent (Evening in Paris)! And there will be a great reunion and reveal at the pool party!
No, wait! He's actually Sean Hastings' son, born after a one-night stand in Goleta after a Tommy Dorsey concert! Sean doesn't know about him! And there will be a great brawl at the pool party!
Nance, that would be so much fun, together with ominous hints in Joe's artwork. I love the shadow of the enormous open-beaked bird of prey looming behind Adam, like some dark secret waiting to devour his soul.
We have the first floating head for this storyline! And it's a ponytailed mystery woman. Is she a lost love, or perhaps the cause of his job- related injury? Stay tuned, because it's probably going to be a lot duller than anything we can make up.
The Sunday drawing and coloring team changed Mary's pants to a skirt. Very nice! But they missed so many other chances for mixing it up. Adam is still wearing the same old pants, shirt and jacket (although points for having him continuously morph age-wise), and his box and suitcase collection has not been rearranged in two days. I have a hard time dealing with all this continuity.

...also the features on your face and playing with your age. As in, in Panel One, you look about 14, whereas in Panel Two, you look about 55.
I hope KM's entire plot with Adam Miller involves him saying Ominous Vague Lines, and that's it.
Mary: We hope you can join us at the pool party on Saturday.
Adam Miller: I look forward to it. (Because there's NO TURNING BACK NOW.)

This has all the makings of a wonderful, ridiculous MW story. After the build-up, you know that Adam's secret will be disappointing.
Still, I'm excited by the prospects of another Pool Party and MMM (Major Mary Meddling)!
Adam is wounded in body and spirit -- so Dawn Weston's Love Radar must be screeching right now.

Meg, signing off now! Gasp, pant, sigh....

Adam Miller only came for ONE THING, and that thing is ... not family friendly.
Never mind the luggage; wait till you see what the flower fairies do to Mary's pants tomorrow!
