With so many new arrivals to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa the Face of Everyman wasn’t sure what quarantine measures should be put in place. The clinic was already swamped with kids needing their shots before school started. Hopefully none of his songbirds had been to China during school break. Avian Flu was next on his worry list.
Boxing Day
Rupert had an overwhelming sense of guilt. Yesterday was Boxing Day and he had failed to perform even the simplest of rituals. He considered for a moment how he might redeem himself. Alas, the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was not a place that lent itself to gift box or alms giving. the Face of Everyman tried to assuage Rupert’s feelings by suggesting he give a talk about what this unique holiday meant to him; or something.
Skinny-Dipping
It was a quiet dawn at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Colton tried to control his impure thoughts; but, never-the-less he couldn’t resist the urge to go skinny-dipping. the Face of Everyman could only roll his eyes at such exhibitionism and drift back into a sound sleep. 
Scholarships
Robespierre was back to the familiar haunts of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. This time he was selling legacy admissions to top schools even Rhodes scholarships if you could afford his scams. Luckily the Face of Everyman warned young parents against signing up for such programs; after all, their kids just might want to be birds not scholars. 
100
Without proper sports equipment recess at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Montietorkie School had been reduced to such tests of endurance as holding one’s head under water. Seen below Casper dunks his head while the Face of Everyman counts to one hundred. The CPR kit was close at hand if resuscitation was required. 
Fledging
Chester’s widowed Mother has been paying the Face of Everyman to coach her fledgling son through some of the finer points of flying. Perhaps they should have used the meadow near the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa as there was lots of room. Seen above, Chester seems to have got himself stuck and can’t turn around. The venerable sage tried to keep his voice calm as he explained the hop up and twist around maneuver.
Noli turbare circulos meos!
Young Milo was preparing his TED talk to be hosted by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. He had chosen the topic “Archimedes and the Origin of Circles.” the Face of Everyman helped Milo give a truly dynamic presentation with the loan of a few faded slides taken by the venerable sage of the ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer; recording his most creative period.
On Thin Air
A rare phenomenon illustrates how cold it at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It is so cold that the Towhee slipped on thin air. the Face of Everyman tried to calculate the odds of this event being caught on camera. The American Robin and White-crowned Sparrow are eye witnesses and think of it as a spiritual event. A sign perhaps.
Sharks and Minnows
Raspberry felt uncomfortable with that trio behind him, each giving him the Evil Eye. the face of Everyman commented that this pool games hour at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa and that perhaps he would be asked to join them. Was he any good at Marco Polo? Sharks and Minnows?
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.
