Pickels, or was it Huckelberry, tried to stave off the pangs of hunger that swept over him/her at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa by eating birdseed. Alas, the Face of Everyman had no budget for cat food.
Cat Food?
Chic’n
Pogo was sure that he smelled fried chicken. How can that be? Maybe he was delirious from lack of nutrition. His New Year’s weight loss program seemed to be working. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa only served chicken on special days. the Face of Everyman confirmed that there was no chicken on the menu. Drat!
Night Stalker
Boots was out looking for a meal in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman thought better of commenting on his record of poor success.
Future
Prestwick gazed deeply into the divine waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. He expected the future to reveal itself if he stared hard enough. the Face of Everyman thought: “How strange. He had tried that himself a thousand times, without success.”
1812 Overture
By the time the band began play Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, the smoke from the fireworks obscured almost everything in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman began to cough, and tears came to his eyes. The cannon fire was deafening.
Auld Lang Syne
Johnny Dark Eyes was supervising the New Years celebration at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa, but he was having a problem remembering the words to “Auld Lang Syne.” As emcee he would have to lead the crowd in singing this traditional favorite. An inner voice told him to ask the Face of Everyman.
Warm Weather
A warm spell of weather brought old friends to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman hoped that this quest stayed for the New Years celebrations.
Tradition?
Cedric wondered that if by accepting these few stale French Fries he was obligated to adhere to the time honored Covid tradition of giving a small gift in appreciation. He had run out of colored beads and skate keys. He would have asked the Face of Everyman, but the matter seemed trivial among the other concerns of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
Attack
the Face of Everyman called out: “I can’t breathe.” but the twins kept up their relentless attack. They had been banned from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa, yet they were not dissuaded.
Tradition?
Even the crippled offspring was able to enjoy Christmas. Would it become a tradition at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa? the Face of Everyman couldn’t be sure.
