Clinic Day

Cheeky was in line at the Clinic just as the Sun rose over the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The only one to be excused from the vaccination mandate was the Face of Everyman. His basalt exterior was nearly as hard as diamond and would break any needle. The venerable sage was resigned to his vulnerabilities and always masked up when others approached.

Demands

Most of the Flock departed wordlessly from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The was no picketing, confrontations or vandalism. the Face of Everyman was sure that they would return. He was ready to discuss their demands no matter how trivial.

Okolehao

On a self-guided tour of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa world famous botanical gardens one of the Flock picked up enough materials to make Okolehao. As they passed the bottle around; everybody felt happy except the Face of Everyman who seems to have been left out.

Cajoling

Mom always had trouble getting Baby Huey out of the water. The obstreperous child refused to give up his place, even for his Father. the Face of Everyman soon tired of this cajoling and although it was sacrosanct in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; the venerable sage pulled the plug and drained the pool. Not to worry, it would soon refill for Dad’s bath.

Ten Most Wanted

the Face of Everyman was unsure about this new guest to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. He took a moment to scan thru the FBI‘s ten most wanted felons list before he rented a nearby roost. This guy seemed out of his normal migration pattern.

Ones and Twos

A strange phenomenon was taking shape in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Songbirds which normally flock were appearing in the ones and twos. the Face of Everyman was reluctant to pry; but, he did wonder if they had no friends. Dare he ask this youngster.

Stories

In his mind Fitzhugh had never lost an argument and he seldom let an opportunity go by when he would gladly tell a naive newcomer to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa the facts of the matter. Often recalling several confrontations in the moments of sharing. the Face of Everyman took this time to nap inasmuch as he would not be called upon to verify such far fetched stories.

Coyote

Well, it had to happen; just as the Face of Everyman was about to go on his Sabbatical, a major intrusion of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa occurred. Klaxons, sirens and giant voice loudspeaker systems came to life. A remote IR system detected a Coyote entering the periphery of the vast sanctuary. Now the venerable sage could see himself dragged before endless Senate sub-committees to answer for this lapse in security. He wished that he had never been born.

non sequitur

Big Boy was back seeking more advice from the Face of Everyman. As the Hunter’s Moon approached, the competition between big males became more fierce. Big Boy wanted to leave his legacy to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. “Was there somewhere safe that he could take his herd?” The venerable sage tried to dodge the question. His response was a non sequitur.
