On registration day at the Montetorkie school Dad was forced to make the decision to put young Albert into the Special-Ed classes and see how well he integrated. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had world renown teachers and few problems were expected. Despite vehement protests by the Face of Everyman the School Board demanded that Albert’s mating colors be inked out for the time being. The venerable sage knew the heartbreak of being different. 
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
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.
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.
Triple A Ratings
The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa has become the target of the Hotel & Innkeepers bureaucracy. Weekly, inspectors from some agency or another descends on the Resort to assess and evaluate. the Face of Everyman began expect the beginnings of a hostile takeover and tried to warn Corporate. In the end Foggy Bottoms was downgraded to: “A A +”. The venerable sage agreed to add signage in Esperanto and double the amount of berries served at Brunch. He would be re-inspected for compliance.
Horse of a Different Color
Public comment has always been encouraged; but, when speakers go beyond the fifteen minutes allowed by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa something has to be done. the Face of Everyman tried to interject by clearing his throat but the speaker just ramped up a new stream of venom and vitriol. By-standers were never sure what his problem was; after all a Brown Headed Cow Bird is a different bred of cat, horse of a different color, bird of a different feather.
Red Dye #4
Little Lester had learned of the joy of giving from his parents. When the Face of Everyman required a Maraschino cherry for his evening cocktail, little Lister was right there with a naturally sweet Queen Anne cherry from the vast orchards of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The venerable sage accepted the gift graciously then let it steep in his secret batch of USDA contraband Red Dye #4. He was a traditionalist.
3 AM Prowl
The Trixster left empty handed. Klaxons and sirens had driven him off. The good folks at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa could rest easy once again. the Face of Everyman noted the intrusion and made an entry in the log book. Forensics searched for scats and other evidence to determine if this was the same intruder or a clever one that used infrequent forays to find weaknesses in the defense.
