Summer Camp

I haven't been to summer camp since um, summer of 1992. Apparently, 17 years later it's time to go again.
I have a sinus infection that drove me seeking help to our local 'doc-in-a-box' that John lovingly refers to as "Amateur Hour". You see once we moved away from Arlington we have been seeing a local family practice group that takes walk-ins only, no appointment necessary. This in and of itself should tell you something. It is an all D.O. practice and they also have medical students and interns from the D.O. school in Ft Worth training with them. Hence, "Amateur Hour".
So, I am there yesterday for the sinus infection and the "nurse" ( I use that label very loosely) asked me "would you like documentation for your insurance to pay for fat camp?" Now, I had set myself up for this by asking if they had any weight-loss assistance programs. But seriously, fat camp? True, I have gained some 15 pounds in almost a year and I am about 70 pounds heavier than when John and I married. I know it's time to do something! But fat camp? I didn't know they really existed. In my mind I guess I thought if they did exist that they were for obese tweens, you know the age that typically go to camp anyway.
Dude, I was just wondering if y'all give out diet pills! Sheesh.
