Bertram was never sure which suit to wear to these parties thrown by the Face of Everyman. He thought it was a soiree so he came in full mating colors. Which, of course, made everyone else appear dowdy. For the next week he was ostracized by the entire Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
Veterans Day
Each year the Face of Everyman hosted the Veterans Day pancake breakfast at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. This year the descendants of the WW I Army Corps Carrier Pigeons received special honors. The venerable sage announced that the highlight today would be the wedding of Two to the Nth power grandchildren of the most decorated wartime carrier pigeons. It was his great pleasure to present “Le Vaillant” and the beautiful,“Cher Ami”. Few turned their heads, but a hoarse chorus of “Here, Here” was evident.
Party
The morning after the party Cheeky returned to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The only damage seemed to be to one of the Cabana Huts. It had been knocked over and had a few chips here and there. Cheeky’s memory was hazy about last night’s events, but the Face of Everyman took pleasure in recounting how Cheeky had danced the night away with a Raccoon and kept saying, “Excuse me.” every time he bumped into something; even the kiln fired Cabana Hut.
Operas
Jussi was a promising tenor but occasionally his deep voice turned to a squawk. the Face of Everyman had promised management at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa a winter opera season to exceed their wildest dreams. Now the venerable sage started to have misgivings about the whole concept: what if suddenly the entire cast migrated?
Chaos
Slidell was hell bent on creating mischief. Things in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa needed stirring up. But, inasmuch as it was almost sundown, he thought he’d best return to his pipe & slippers. the Face of Everyman could sense Slidell’s inner rage and was thankful that this quiet resort community would not be subject to chaos and blind panic this very night.
Social Media
Cedric watched carefully as the self timer counted down the seconds. the Face of Everyman stayed as still as he could. At last the flash went off and bathed the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa in an eerie light. Cedric hoped that his Mom liked the picture. He posted it to all relevant social media.
Orts
After lunch, Daphne one of the circus sideshow performers lingered at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. She turned to her host, the Face of Everyman, and asked for a doggy bag for the orts. The venerable sage graciously complied though he was feeling a bit peckish. He had hoped to nosh.
Asylum
After the big windstorm these three show up at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa seeking asylum and refugee status. They had fled the circus sideshow wintering in the meadow. the Face of Everyman explained that in this magical land they were free to come and go as they pleased. Bewildered by this new sense of freedom, two balked and wanted to return to the circus and train for a new opening act. The venerable sage treated them to a special lunch and they said their goodbyes.
Friday Frolics
Try outs for the upcoming Friday Frolics variety show slated for the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa were cut short yesterday when an area wide power outage occurred. The massive pumps supplying the Spring of Eternal Giving ceased to operate. the Face of Everyman rescheduled the soft shoe act of Donny and Marie for 3PM if power was restored. The show must go on.
Swimmer
Chadwick is in training as a long distance swimmer. Seen above as he emerges from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa pool after a grueling ten minute swim. the Face of Everyman, his coach, tries to find words of encouragement but knows that anything he says is . . .
