The dance studio at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa performed for the public on Sunday afternoons. Seen above is Johnny Dark Eyes performing a few improvisational dance steps to the delight of luncheon crowd. the Face of Everyman was proud that “JDE” was such an apt pupil.
New Guests
This young couple weren’t sure that they would fit in at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa: being so colorful and all . . . the Face of Everyman was quick to assure them that everybody was welcome. Well, perhaps a few, like raptors and nest robbers, weren’t regarded as guests, and never will be. The venerable sage said that he would be pleased to store their luggage until after lunch when they could check in at the front desk.
Barking
To most folks the life at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa seems idyllic. But for some like Sydney the carefree life takes a terrible toll. As seen above the breakdowns begin by barking at bubbles. the Face of Everyman tries to step in and offer his style of talk therapy. No one knows what becomes of those who are sent to the clinic in Switzerland.
Spin The Sage
The rowdy trouble makers were out on parole. Their first stop was the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Tonight’s choice of fun was Spin the Sage. By sunrise the Face of Everyman was totally disoriented. He closed his eyes and tried to hang on to any fixed object.
Subwoofer
Despite the wet weather of April, cats continued to test the defenses of the Foggy Bottom Resort and Spa. Security forces held off sounding the alarm. Instead a recording of the Face of Everyman’s soliloquy from “Hamlet” played at half speed usually drove off the intruder.
Robynn
Robynn was the Poster Child for the CBT clinic at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. This poor fledgling had shown up with the worst case of ablutophobia ever seen by the venerable sage. After weeks of cognitive behavior therapy Robynn was at last free of her fears. She joyously splashed water on the Face of Everyman. His smile was so broad, his face almost cracked.
Rocket Propulsion
Early Chinese manuscripts had given the Face of Everyman the idea behind avian rocketry. A small rocket is attached to the under belly of the bird; a pull on a string ignites the rocket. Seen above is the first successful flight at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Test Facility. Onlookers seem unimpressed by this technological marvel.
Daylight Saving Time
Edith was relentless. She harped all morning about how they had missed the Free Continental Breakfast at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It seems that Mullard had failed to set the clock correctly for the new time. Hopefully in November he’d get it right. the Face of Everyman offered to enroll them in his “Rise an’ Shine” wake up service.
Barnstorming
Spring like weather brought the return to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa of daredevil flyers known as Barnstormers. This fearless aeronaut is probably here to join the famous Bergdorf Flying Circus. the Face of Everyman gave a forecast of good weekend weather. The nearby meadow would be busy with airplane rides, concessions, and of course “E”s signature brand Bulgarian Hot Dogs with Sauerkraut.
Ice Patrol
One again the scientists at NOAA had asked Elroy to do the dangerous Blue Nose Ice Patrol. He would leave the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa and fly North to the very edge of the Polar Cap. He carried sensitive instruments. Upon Elroy’s return the Face of Everyman would download the data and report the findings. The small stipend they earned allowed them to buy a round at the bar when the day’s work was done.
