When you live on Court Lane I guess ruling comes naturally. Felix, while not a king, has recently become the mayor, or rather a mayor, for the day, the first such Fairfax has had. He applied, he was selected, and, after some coaching, he was handed the gavel and told to run the show. And what a show it was! In typical Fairfax fashion, and very much for better and for worse, the Town Council, together with many of our neighbors, inducted policemen, celebrated a variety of initiatives and people, got an earful about our current homeless crisis, and on and on for over four hours. Despite a lot of mayor-directed (regular mayor, not mayor-for-a-day) sniping and what I'm sorry to report is a typical level of participant animosity, Felix maintained his trademark poise and kept things moving. Fans online and off, delighted by his pro-clapping platform, are calling for him to return, and certainly he enjoyed the experience, but whereas there's no time to get a new candidate on the November ballot and whereas he has upcoming college applications and whereas he isn't ready for his Calculus test and whereas he should walk the dog, it is hereby proclaimed that four hours of mayoring is enough for now.
