--341 days (closing in on 11 months...this time really does fly, doesn't it?)

--Milwaukee was, as expected, a good, relaxing, fun time. I highly recommend the Marriott in Waukesha. Great building, excellent service and just a nice facility. Certainly a bit distant from downtown Milwaukee, but hey...for relaxing, it's good. Though the pool was a mild disappointment, I guess.

--Miller Park remains cool. We sat in the second level (the Loge), right behind home plate (directly in front of Bob Uecker's broadcast booth, which was cool), so we got a great view of the entire game. Though, the one bad thing about Miller Park is the location, and the fact that you have to sit and sit and sit in terrible traffic to get out of the parking lot, even with the postgame tailgaters. But, bearable, nonetheless. And for $30 per ticket, not too shabby.

--We were going to see "Star Wars" while up there, because we didn't have any grand plans, but, after searching on Moviefone (yay for free Internet in the complimentary Business Center!), we discovered that nowhere in Milwaukee is "Star Wars" being offered in digital projection. That sucked, so we've decided to wait.

--Instead, we just lounged around mostly yesterday evening after seeing the Boerner Botanical Gardens, which were pretty, but small. We finished walking around in about an hour or so, even taking our time.

--Now, I'm going to play with my iPod. :)
