How the other half lives

I know that I've led a sheltered life. But a feature article in the travel section of today's NY Times showed me just how sheltered I've been. I've never had a chocolate bath, been rubbed with Greek sea salt, wrapped in cactus, scrubbed with papaya, massaged with lava rock, had a cranberry enzyme bath, treated with Canadian maple sugar or bathed in wine (the subject of the article). However, those in the know and with the money try these activities in a bid to keep looking young.

I prefer the methods of maintaining one's youth described by Bram Stoker and Goethe. They, at least, are recognized as being fictional.

You've never had a cranberry enzyme bath, Al? You've really never lived!
