Fun Fair Wrap Up

G and I killed it!

G kept referencing Game of Thrones through the "battlefield incidents" and I had no clue what he meant; however, we definitely had relatability of sorts. I was into strategic planning with no blood spillage. He would have loved a bloodbath. At the end of the day, we just wanted to triumph over all adversity and we did!

Our renewed friendship was tested a few times during the process and we survived. In spite of all the crazy blood/battle references, the Fun Fair was truly a family friendly production.

I had my brother take half a day off to help with the BBQ. I got ASid to show up with his 2 best buddies to help with food service. I made sure my friend Y was there to oversee it all. No offence to The Godfather, but I prefer to surround myself with family and friends I trust. And they came through for me.

And I want the boys to understand that if we give without seeking recognition and if we are generous without seeking a return, we will be happy at the end of it all. Set up expectations for yourself, not for others!

G and I took on the Fun Fair to save it for our children and for everyone else's children. The intent was pure, but it got marred by unnecessary power struggles. But we didn't lose focus even when we felt like quitting a couple of times. And that's important!

And I confess to swearing a couple of times in a couple of email messages. Even the Principal remarked at one point in time that I was bitching! Toward the end, I could have turned into a bitter person; however, I made a sincere attempt to come out of it a better person. And I'd like to believe I did.

Most everyone was super complimentary to G and me. We pulled off a huge event within a month's time. Even as I was enjoying the accolades, Hans put it all in perspective. He gave me a list of things we could improve on for the next Fun Fair. ASid joined in too. His rant was more about how we could have made more money if we didn't give away food for free to some people. Really?!

There is definitely room for improvement...if G and I are foolish enough to take the Fun Fair on again next year! I don't know what the future holds; but right now, we must enjoy this triumphant moment!

Thank you all for all of your support...always!
