The work is harder than you remembered, the hours longer than you can fathom, the food less than desirable. Then there are the endless forgotten tasks, the emergencies requiring speedy solutions, the hand holding, the adrenalin pumping and the tears sometimes flowing.

Happy New Year & thank you for making the magic happen! The ...

But the affair goes awry with the intervent...
