Gonzo: Win over Rockies a measure of sweet revenge

When I was a kid, my dad advised me not to hold grudges. He saw revenge as a powerful but ultimately empty motivator.

Dad was the exception in our clan. Most of my family never forgets even the smallest slight. (My grandmother is still sore over all the times I whipped her in Scrabble.) We just file the snubs away and dust them off when the time is right for reprisal. I believe most therapists would find that approach entirely healthy.
