Blizzard

The blizzard had produced white out conditions at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  The few guests present were entertained in the casino with bingo.  When the storm abated the Face of Everyman sent in his reports of snow fall depth to the weather bureau. New records were being set daily.  A TV crew got stuck in the snow in route to televise the venerable sage giving an on scene report of the horrific aftermath.IMG_0839

OSHA

Members of the famed Polar Bear Club from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had complained that the entrances to the Cabana Hut changing rooms were too small.  Well fed songbirds had a hard time getting in and out.  OSHA sent an inspector to evaluate their claim.  The report disclosed that few modern songbirds were that small.  A federal grant would be awarded to the Face of Everyman to increase the size of existing holes.  A prestiges ivy league body measurement standard would be used as a guide.IMG_0074 (2)

Hippie

Lil’ Dexter wasn’t sure why he had to take a bath.  He was cold and the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was over half way to the North Pole.  the Face of Everyman cited a list of people who had braved the cold to achieve a clear head: Greeks, Romans, Samurai warriors, Baptists and perhaps even Evangelists.  Dexter didn’t really care; he wanted to go home.  Mom felt as tho’ she’d lost the battle. Her son would become a Hippie. IMG_0252

UFO

Annually the Pacific Flyway Chapter of the UFO Society met at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  This year the Face of Everyman was fortunate enough to engage a UFO from Alpha Centauri to fly thru as the opening gavel signaled the beginning of a week long series of workshops.  The Hospitality Suite remained packed.  The mixed nuts party mix was a favorite.IMG_0393 (2)

Brainchild

The new guest was part of the Writers Group and Golf Package at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  It was the marketing brainchild of the Face of Everyman.  When ‘writer’s block’ hit; you played a round of golf or, at the very least, hit the driving range and shot a bucket of balls.  It was touted as very therapeutic.  Third quarter sales were at an all time high.IMG_0306

Whirling Disorder

A rare case of Whirling Disorder was reported by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Family Clinic.  A gene was expressing itself among a few family members from a remote part of the Pacific Flyway.  As music played those afflicted began to whirl.  the Face of Everyman took copious notes in preparation for yet another scholarly paper.IMG_0108 (2)

Twins

Bobby and Billy were twins.  For them being twins was awkward.  They always dressed alike and finished each others sentences.  They weren’t the only pair in the the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa and the Face of Everyman had been collecting data on each group.  His monograph was due to be presented at a world conference in Oslo in the Spring.IMG_0045 (2)

Entitlement

Civilities fell by the wayside when Senior swimmer workouts collided with Adult Lap swim.  the Face of Everyman had left a fifteen minute space on the schedule but, as every guest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa felt themselves special, those precious minutes were absorbed.  The venerable sage was always surprised at the venomous language spewed by little old ladies.

Thimblerig

The pidgeons are up to their old tricks; illegal gambling at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Some run the shell game others three card monte. The guests always lose.  the Face of Everyman decided to have some fun.   Pigeons scattered when he yelled “Cops.” IMG_0070 (2)

Aida

Once again the Face of Everyman tried to bring a little culture to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  For the lunchtime crowd: Act II, Scene 2 the Triumphal March from “Aida”.  Unfortunately artistic tempers flared and the stately march broke into a rout. IMG_0211 (2)
