Read this excerpt from the essay.
Although it maintained a humble exterior, the Montana dude ranch where I was to meet my latest client was much more than a corral-and-bunkhouse affair. A chef with a tall white hat prepared gourmet meals; the massage sign-up sheet was posted on an easel by the front desk; the fax and copy machine were to the left.
