Hologram

The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa drew a large crowd with their annual New Years Eve light show.  the Face of Everyman was testing the equipment days before hand but had overlooked clearing the projector slide carousel.  To his chagrin immediately the 3D image of an old flame materialized.  Luckily the focus was off, the image grainy and indistinct.

Therapy

Mullard and Delilah had been in Couples Therapy since day one.  Each was intransigent.  the Face of Everyman was not making progress resolving their differences, and Mullard was not safe talking anywhere in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa unless he felt the protection of the venerable sage.

ala Carte

Because of the snow storm and staffing limitations Brunch was served ala Carte poolside.  the Face of Everyman missed the decorum that had been the hallmark of service at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.

Storm

the Face of Everyman remained on constant vigil thruout the night as an Arctic Outbreak clashed with a Pineapple Clipper dumping heavy wet snow.  He only hoped that the small emergency pond heater could keep the waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa free of ice and safe for navigation.  Migrating songbirds and arriving guests were re-routed to the stately conifers on a hill high above this otherwise lush garden spot.  Pool boys restocked feeders at emergency shelters.

Whitey

Whitey is in the Avian Witness Protect Program.  The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa has been chosen for its remoteness off of the Pacific Flyway.  Nonetheless Whitey is to be careful and not allow his face to be photographed.  Seen above the Face of Everyman is maintaining a lookout.  Paparazzi, bounty hunters and thoughtless tourists taking selfies remain a constant threat to the very life of this important witness.

Conduit

Rocky tried to schmooze it up with the Face of Everyman at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Christmas party.  “R” thought that the venerable sage was a direct conduit to whoever gave out those wide screen TVs.  Actually it was  Everyman who was first on the list for that highly prized gift from Santa.

Squirrel Cage

Cheeky thought the Face of Everyman was his secret Santa.  He whispered in the ear of the venerable sage the laundry list of his desires to find under the tree on Christmas morning.  First off, a squirrel cage exercise unit.  The one at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Fitness Center was too small and squeaked.  Next, no more Macadamia nuts in the stockings unless they were shelled. Next, . . .

Earl

Grainy security camera footage showed that Earl had returned to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  His Mom had named him Early Bird but it came with too much expectation so he shortened his name to just plain Earl.  the Face of Everyman noted that his arrival coincided with the beginning of Winter.  Yikes!   Everyman’s toes were already numb.

Shakespeare Festival

As the day neared for the opening of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa annual Shakespeare Festival more and more impromptu scenes were acted in hopes of being cast in high profile roles.  Seen above is Derek quoting lines from the famous “soliloquy” in Hamlet:  To be, or not to be.  Although the venerable sage had heard a better delivery, “D” was given the nod.  the Face of Everyman  lamented the paucity of actors in this small community especially in Winter.
