Every year the Michelin Guide inspector came around. This year’s test was making a Hot Toddy. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was known for the Classic Martini but not even the Face of Everyman was sure that his Swiss Ski Resort trained bartenders could meet this challenge. She awarded the lounge two stars for the year 2020.
Avalanche
An Arctic Outbreak had brought snow to the magical Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The Avalanche and Rescue Team met in the conference room. Not even the Face of Everyman could remember where they had stored their equipment at the end of last season.
Snow
Lily and Lester cherry picked their way thru a select offering of the breakfast buffet at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Snow is forecast within the next 24 hours; so good nutrition is a must. the Face of Everyman had made certain that only the best was provided. He wished that others had been as thoughtful when he was growing up. C’est la vie.
Visitor
Panther was back. This time she tried slipping thru the visitor’s gate. She paid the two bit coin fee for visiting during feeding time at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It was a well trained Docent that actually sounded the alarm. the Face of Everyman napped thru the entire red alert emergency. But he had ordered a collar with bell from Amazon.
Dance
The dance recital continued unabated. Even the Face of Everyman yawned despite himself. The good folks at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa hadn’t been so bored since a road troupe staged a lengthy event based on an early Persian poem. Some folks had tickets to see “Chicago, the Musical”. But that group was detained at the border by TSA. 
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.
Duck and . . .
Cheeky had just came from the village where there was talk of teaching the school kids:”duck and cover”. the Face of Everyman wasn’t so sure that the guests of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa would quite get the hang of such a intricate scheme. Maybe he should develop a lesson plan, create a few slides. Or direct a short film with a celebrity narrator. 
Shock Therapy
Recidivism is high among cats. After a short bail hearing Panther was right back to her old tricks. One more citation and she’ll be banned for life from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman had proposed electroconvulsive therapy. Management agreed to look into matter. After all, this was a U.N. Sanctuary.
Owl?
the Face of Everyman had dropped a dime on the one eight hundred number: Owl Hotline. A recorded message advised the venerable sage that, “Your call is important to us, but all available agents are busy at the moment. Your call will be answered in the order received.” Dang! There was never a cop owl around when you needed one.
Mom’s Adage
the Face of Everyman’s Mother had always said, “Birds of a feather flock together.” Seen below is proof. As these two species of birds wreak havoc on the Friday afternoon smorgasbord at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Everyman was already over budget this quarter because of the New Years Eve party. He would have to call on his creative accounting skills to make things look right.
