—Feh.  I haven’t even seen the little guy in 3 days.  But if I had to guess, I’d say he’s on his way to San Diego to catch tonight’s Rockies – Padres game.  At least, that would explain why I’m missing my Rockies’ beer coozie, along with my tailgating chair, a cooler, two bags of pork rinds, and a case of India Pale Ale.  Oh.  And a sniper’s rifle and
