Fusion
On quiet mornings poolside at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa, before the Cabana boys had set out the chairs, the Face of Everyman liked to snap his fingers and watch isotopes of hydrogen collide. The resulting plasma warmed his stone cold Danish and lukewarm Coffee.

Theirs was the silent marriage of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Each used passive aggressive techniques in what little communications they had. the Face of Everyman could stand it no longer. At last he said, “Can we talk?”

Mom brought Jewel to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Both were eager to show the Face of Everyman the progress that the little one had made in home schooling.

Botanicals
Few found it easy to maintain their footing and balance after the Face of Everyman took advantage of his free quarterly exfoliating scrub with exotic botanicals at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
