Mom with three of her five Kits caught on camera as they scurry to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The Foreign Press has started to label her: “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe” after the early English nursery rhyme. She is seldom seen with all five kits in tow. the Face of Everyman has scolded her about exercising more parental control. Easy for him to say.
Bubbles
Uncle Jack has never been the same since he hit the plate glass window head on down in the village. He was out for a week after the kind folks brought him to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Avian Clinic. Now, most days, Jack chats with the Face of Everyman and yells at his image reflected in large bubbles. “Watch out Jack or you’ll be a goner.” The venerable sage has prepared a case study to present at a prestigious university in the Fall.
First Day
The bus from the orphanage dropped off Daphne for her first day at the Montetorkie School. the Face of Everyman welcomed her to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa and gave her words of encouragement to help her on this day of new beginnings. His own first day had been chaotic; inside a lava tube at the base of a volcano. Chalk hadn’t been invented yet and the heat had been almost unbearable.
Elitist Appeal
After a hard day in court the Judge would find comfort in the distinctive soda water leaking up from the secret underground laboratory of the Face of Everyman. The venerable sage pretended that soda water was a natural occurrence in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. He had hoped to bottle this sparkling effervescence but was waiting till he had the right label, one with elitist appeal, for proper marketing.
Five Kits
Mom has upset the eco-balance at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. This morning she set out with all five of her Kits on a sort of meet and greet tour. At this stop Madalynn got to meet the Face of Everyman as well as wash up a bit. Not seen are: Harold, Cletus, Sophie and Yvon. The kindly ol’ pensioner can be sure that the new family will be back; almost nightly. Mom has till September to teach them everything they’ll need to know as adults.
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.
Spring of Eternal Giving
Bambi crept forward slowly to see if she could determine the cause. The Spring of Eternal Giving had somehow stopped. The sacred waters were the very lifeblood of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Even the Face of Everyman was alarmed. Flow recommenced by Noon and the guests all had a good laugh at themselves over their exaggerated concerns.
Boris
Boris was back trying to patch things up with Anastasia. She had been aloof to his advances and may have actually checked out of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman could not discuss the comings and goings of guests however he was not above recommending The Old Village Inn to those who wanted to escape the noise of late night pool parties and raucous Bingo games in the Casino.
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.
