Henrietta wanted everybody to know that Summer officially started today. Tomorrow will be the longest day. Yep. thought the Face of Everyman: 16 hours 37 minutes. Would life be different in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa?

Henrettia’s almanac said it was the first day of Spring. She searched the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa for new blossoms of any kind. She was loathed to ask, “Mr. Smarty Pants,” the Face of Everyman.

Was it Spring at last? Questioned Henretta of the Oracle. She remained mute. Then it still must be Winter in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa mused the Face of Everyman.

Henretta explained that she had been patient but, she was anxious to find out if she had been designated as The State Bird. It would make her mother so proud. the Face of Everyman said that he would eMail her as soon as the findings were known.

Octavia was making last minute arrangements for the Valentine’s Day Dance Party to be held at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman had agreed to be the DJ. He felt confident that he could pull it off.

The Oracle made her pronouncement heralding the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Henrettia and the Face of Everyman were the only ones in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to hear those words.

Peace was usually the thing in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; but there was always somebody ready for a fight. the Face of Everyman condemned these actions.

Henretta swore that she could smell Split Pea Soup. In reality it was a failed experiment; one of many that the Face of Everyman conducted in his secret laboratory. The venerable sage hurriedly concocted a series of lies to explain away the delicious smell. He asked the chef to add the soup to today’s special in the diner of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.

Henrietta listened closely to the incantation spoken by the Sprit Goddess; it would change her life. Rarely did she speak. What little the Face of Everyman overheard could never be repeated outside the boundaries of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
