At times, I think about how much time and money I've spent on my Milwaukee Brewers "hobby". The times that we've considered giving up our 20-game pack now that my kids are 28 and 21 and it is a 2.5 hour drive to Milwaukee. Each time, we reason that it is my family's way to relax together and that some day, the benefit for keeping the package will pay off when the Brewers make their post-season run. Last night it finally happened.
It didn't really hit me last night like I thought it would. Coming to school today, it has started to as staff and students have may a point to stop in the office to congratulate me and share stories about last night's game.
I'm not sure how I will feel next Friday as I sit in my seat at AmFam. That may be when all the emotions boil over. In a way, I'm looking forward to it happening around my family and extended family that have shared the seating area with us for years.
