Wynken, Blynken and Nod tried to set to sea in the most unlikely boat ever. the Face of Everyman was aware of the children’s poem but he wasn’t about to leave the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.

Farewell

It had been a cruel Summer in this remote section of the Pacific flyway. Wildly fluctuating temperatures, wildfire haze, and lack of seeds and thistle down had made things difficult for families at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. In fact, these three ladies were the last of their clan. They thanked the Face of Everyman for all he had done to make their visit tolerable.

Although Shrove Tuesday wasn’t until March 2022 some of the ladies were practicing their racing skills months ahead of time. Balancing the cakes would come later.

At the Montietorkie school PTA meeting Mom pointed to her son Beauregard who has been irrevocably harmed by wearing a mask during the recent Avian Flu scare. His disfigurement brought little interest from the somber colored songbirds. They suggested that she take her case to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa school board. From past experiences the Face of Everyman saw little hope of justice for this unhappy Mom.

It was Eldridge, the village drunk, who first heard the cries for help from the Face of Everyman. It seems that his disorientation had gone all day without notice. His voice now weak and hoarse, the venerable sage had all but given up hope of being rescued. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa public works crane arrived with in the hour to set things straight.

Mid-way through the breeding season marriage counseling became big business for the Face of Everyman. This was the third session for Rocky and Chantilly and they were no closer to agreement than on their first visit to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Mental Health Clinic. Some how the venerable sage talked them into one more session before the inevitable.

The lure of the mythical fresh water Pearls was too much for Amerigo. The Spring of Eternal Giving seemed aptly named for his misadventure. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa held many spots of danger: hot springs, geysers, twisted gravity vortexes. the Face of Everyman knew these spots well. The venerable sage watched Amerigo; waiting for his first misstep.

Heat Wave

It was the hottest day of the year at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The pumps that produce the Spring of Eternal Giving failed and to the surprise of everybody the life giving waters stopped. Using an old trick the Face of Everyman stuck a penny behind the fuse and restored power to the pumps. By late afternoon a licensed electrician had corrected the problem.

Dirt

Margaret seemed to know every bit of gossip in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Every conversation began with: “Did you see whose dating Rodney?” or some such local lathario. the Face of Everyman relied on Margaret to help him keep up on the latest dirt.
