The season opener for baseball was almost at hand. the Face of Everyman listened closely as each songbird auditioned with a variety of patriotic songs. This year was very special as it was The Foggy Bottoms Irregulars Vs The Mar-a-lago Gators. The Miami team were almost professionals. The venerable sage expected nothing but the best from his singers and ball club. He warned the singers: no free style or jazz breakout. He promised that they could each express themselves during the Seventh Inning stretch. Could they be ready in time?
Winter Sports
The blizzard that was Winter Storm Desdemona had finally stopped. The snow was so deep that the Cabana Boys couldn’t ride their bikes; instead they skied to work at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa, evoking images of the Winter Olympics. the Face of Everyman rummaged through his Sea Chest hoping to find his remaining Gold Medal. Since the early days of the sport the Curling Stone has often been awarded a medal. The venerable sage had fond memories of those long ago days in Scotland; sliding across the frozen lochs. Curling had been the sport of the common man.
Facial
It was a slow day following heavy rains and strong winds at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. An ideal opportunity for the kindly ol’ pensioner to do chores. First up was the long standing work order to vigorously brush moss and lichen from the face of the venerable sage. It was not a complete facial, however, there was a request to remove some of his frown lines. the Face of Everyman provided his own special formulation of organic body putty.
Wrinkled Peas
the Face of Everyman was only slightly troubled by the results of his secret pigeon breeding program at the Foggy Bottoms Resort an Spa. It was Larry, with the white flashes on his back. Could this be the “wrinkled peas” effect that the old Friar Gregor Mendel warned him about? The venerable sage quickly reviewed his lab notes.
