Olympics

Tryouts for the Summer Olympics has began in earnest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Seen below are two young athletes competing in women’s cross-country racing.  the Face of Everyman was offering evening classes in Japanese etiquette, simple language phrases and saki tasting.  IMG_0005 (2)

Nesting

Rodney found nest building a trying task.  The couple had chosen the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa for the schools and recreational activities but everything he brought home Charlotte would toss aside.  the Face of Everyman chose to remain mute on the laundry list of readily available items: string, twigs, grasses, moss, . . .   Poor Rodney he was picking up brightly colored stones and shells.IMG_0223 (2)

Audit

As soon as the delivery drone left, Rocky came waltzing out of the lush jungle growth in search of a free meal.  The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa didn’t have a homeless problem, per se, but it did have a free loader problem.  Deer, raccoons, squirrels and pidgeons drained every resource.  the Face of Everyman was skilled in creative accounting, but the annual audit would surely expose the truth.  There were no quarterly earnings.  Never had been, except on paper.

Stack Overflow

the Face of Everyman was disappointed.  His security system designed to alert the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa failed the facial recognition test on this intruder.  The super computer went into stack overflow and endless loop conditions without identifying the presence of a Cat.  This image would under go close scrutiny.  From now on facial recognition would mean both ends of the prowler.

Mime

Marceau struck a different pose every few minutes.  A Mime contest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was open for auditions.  the Face of Everyman was to guess each pose.  Alas, he failed on this one: A disgruntled dockworker ready to take on the ruthless heavy handed straw boss.  Marceau found no end of eclectic poses. He kept his day job.IMG_0276 (2)

Fresh Seed

Bucko Billy, the First Mate on the Hell Ship Marie Laveau, had been asked by others to put forward their complaint about the drek being served at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Despite having only one leg, Billy could put forth a forceful argument.  the face of Everyman tried not to show fear as he logged on to Amazon Prime to double his order for fresh seed and fruit.IMG_0275 (2)

Crisis

The quarantine of guests and residents of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa seemed to be working.  the Face of Everyman was now free to worry about the next crisis: sunburn.  He hoped that SPF-50 was good enough, even at these high latitudes, to prevent burns, ageing and exfoliation.  Paradoxically, a deeply chiseled face needs a smooth complexion.IMG_0405 (2)

Super Tuesday

Barney had waited to shop at the Mom & Pop store for a time when fewer folks would be present and offer the spread of contagious respiratory diseases.  His timing was bad.  Stores along the arcade entrance to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa were all closed to observe Super Tuesday.  “What kind of holiday is that?” he asked rhetorically.  the Face of Everyman remained mute.  He was experiencing his own problems.  His 401K had tanked.

Golf

Agnes had been loitering around the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  None of the eligible males she had been corresponding with seemed to have shown up for Spring rituals.  the Face of Everyman was loathed to interfere but he couldn’t help but suggest she try the marshes and water holes over by the municipal golf course. The guys were known to play a couple of rounds before reluctantly starting a family.  IMG_0230 (2)

Jet-pack

the Face of Everyman enjoyed early success with his hydrogen powered jet-pack.  Seen below is young Orville Wright, dare devil aeronaut home based at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa experiencing lift off utilizing hydrogen; with the only residue being water.  Onlookers seemed unable to comprehend the historic significance.
