Borgess Run Camp has seen the error of its ways. While other running organizations survey their members to see what they want, run camp leaders engage in what might best be described as "seat-of-your-pants" thinking. Consequently, they're advising run campers to store up their best thoughts this year and write them down somewhere in May or June. Then, in 2015 or 2016, if any of those thoughts make their way into camp, they may be adopted. Meanwhile, to stay current with the trend to make "transformational changes" in the way business is conducted at run camp, the "Changes" Leadership Council has announced the following lineup of optional clinics, to be held in January:
Clinic #1: "Seat-of-your-pants planning: Why any other approach is stupid." Don't miss this fun-filled learning opportunity, agenda-free, possibly leaderless, definitely harmless session. Times to be announced.
Clinic #2: "Does Your Bird Have Gout?" Avian Vitamin D Toxicosis is hard to recognize, even with parakeets, because, let's face it, they just won't talk about it. Learn the signs and symptoms of this often-misdiagnosed and dreaded disease.
Clinic #3: "The Top 10 Dog Breeds for Run Campers." Sure, you feel bad leaving the kids alone Saturday morning while you go romp in the snow. Here's a list of dogs, and a few other kinds of pets, that will best protect, play with and entertain your abandoned children. Each participant receives a free turtle.
Clinic #4: "It's time you forgot about the Chicago Cubs." This is the definitive, must-attend clinic on how to recognize lost causes, and includes breakout sessions on snarky girlfriends, Republican presidential hopefuls and, if necessary, the Detroit Lions.
