One has to wonder what terrible crimes these night marauders have committed that they compulsively wash their hands. the Face of Everyman had to ask. It turns out that Figs are in season at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Overripe Figs with juicy goodness are messy Figs. The venerable sage opined that he liked his stuffed with Blue Cheese in hopes that a few might appear on his door step.
Circuit Rider
The circuit rider reverend arrived to give a memorial for Lem the pigeon lost to a Raptor on Friday. The Reverend Wigglesworth disliked the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa because there was no live TV feed to the networks. Neither Songbird nor Pigeon attended. Could the Face of Everyman forgotten to post the announcement?
Locker Room Talk
There was always a lot of locker room talk on Saturday mornings when the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Running Club completed their runs and hit the spa. Blueberry pancakes topped the list of topics; while Maple syrup ran a close second. the Face of Everyman tried to recall if he had ordered enough maple syrup from Vermont. It was his favorite too.
News
News that POTUS had cancelled the big parade was met with mixed reaction in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Some members of the drill team wanted to continue to march and train for national competition. the Face of Everyman suggested that some could join the Foggy Bottoms Square Dance Club and use their skills of precision and timing in a social atmosphere. Nowadays cries of Do si do and Face your partner ring out every Saturday night.
Don Quixote
Don Quixote perceived the bowing stalks of Elephant Garlic as a threat. He pawed the dirt ready to charge. He was victorious. The smell of fresh garlic hung in the air for hours. the Face of Everyman served up dishes of a delightful pasta to all. Very little goes to waste at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
Air Pollution
The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa has been blanketed in smoke and haze from forest fires raging in an alternative universe. Seen above are two EMTs assigned to help the elderly and infirmed deal with the polluted air. the Face of Everyman had given out his last face mask; there was nothing else he could do but remind folks to stay in their nest till onshore winds improved air quality.
Rapid Eye Movement
Legend has it that a Ghost protects the innocent inhabitants of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It must be so, because the Face of Everyman, shown above, is in his REM stage of sleep and seems oblivious to the rest of world.
Cadre
Once again, under the cover of darkness, a cadre of highly trained marauders struck at the very heart of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. By diverting recirculation water meant for the Spring of Eternal Giving the vast lagoon was emptied before sunrise. the Face of Everyman awoke only when he felt a cold draft on his bottom.
Meditation
Yesterday there was a comedy of errors committed by the kindly ol’ pensioner. Not one camera captured the rain of biblical proportions that occurred nor the reaction of any guest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. So you are to be treated to a popular archival image of a guest enjoying the spa created by the William Wallace Memorial Stone. The stone often replaces the Face of Everyman when he is called away to serve in Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Coincidentally both stones were carved by the same gifted, but, reclusive artist.
Triple Jump
The Summer games at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa featured a few unlikely efforts. Seen above is Timothy Rostenkowski going for his best in the hop, step and jump. the Face of Everyman resigned himself to be the jumping off spot during this contest. Judges would review the video of every attempt to assure that no wings were flapped.
