Pigeons

As if from a Biblical parable the Ungrateful Five have increased in number.  As a rule, these unwanted guests to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa took the low hanging fruit leaving the hardscrabble life to the songbirds.  Characteristically the Face of Everyman took a philosophical position on the unfairness of it all.

Plight

The Yellow Bus bound for the Sanctuary City had a flat tire just beyond the boundary of the real world and the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Bolivar stepped down to follow the magical sound of wind chimes.  At last he encountered the Face of Everyman.  The venerable sage immediately saw this traveler’s plight and offered the stranger a lite lunch w/choice of beverage, medical attention and the use of one of his AirBnB units.

Offering

IMG_0238 (2)
Little Bobby brought a token for the Face of Everyman.  He hoped that this bright glass bead would help pay for the damage he had done to the Spring of Everlasting Giving.  Without the Spring’s generous flowing waters the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa is in danger of slipping into reality

Cattywampus

Bosworth had been asked by the Face of Everyman to rotate him slowly thruout the day as he was trying to achieve an even tan.  Inasmuch as the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa is a magical place; such things as the arc of the Sun can be irregular.  Sun dials can off by as much as several hours.  Bosworth soon tired of his labors and left the venerable sage a little cattywampus.IMG_0014 (2)

Martial Arts

Young Alister knew that this wouldn’t be a fair fight; but, his one advantage over these four bullies was that he had taken martial arts classes every Saturday morning in the park.  The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa offered a variety of classes.  Some for health as well as defense, such as Tai Chi and of course water aerobics lead by the Face of Everyman.  

Ennui

Only Barnstorming Billy had signed up for the 4th of July fly over.  In fact, a general lack of interest was the root cause of the Face of Everyman cancelling most of the festivities.  Free food furnished by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa brought out a lot of the community.  Sack races and miniature golf were the biggest events.  The venerable sage would rather it had rained.

Happy Fourth

Panther took perverse delight in choosing the path to the Mall that led thru the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  The Klaxons clanged and sirens wailed; announcing the intruder.  It was a great start to the Fourth Of July.  Poor the Face of Everyman his adrenaline would keep pumping for hours.

Sock Hop

Saturdays at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was the nationally televised Sock Hop dance party.  The dress code was fairly rigid.  Often, however unfair, the Face of Everyman had to draw the line.  Poor Jokul, he never really understood the clean and dry dress code concept.

Debate

All ten candidates were prepared to take their places.  The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was the ideal venue for the debate.  the Face of Everyman had agreed to be the Moderator.  All bets were off for a second round.  Maybe a clear front runner would be seen tonight.

Open Mike Mondays

Every Fourth Monday of the month was Soap Box Orator’s Day at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Residents and visitors alike could speak on any subject.  Seen above is Alcibiades speaking out against the teachings of Quantum Mechanics and in particular wave-particle duality.  the Face of Everyman could only roll his eyes at such an arcane subject.
