   Summary

   "Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.

   "Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."

   "Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"

   (In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)
