The evils of Freecell
Anyone who runs Windows knows about the game Freecell. It's a devilishly tricky, horribly addictive card game that comes standard on Windows. I became mesmerized with it before I owned a Mac. I remember, while I was applying for graduate schools and studying for the GRE, I played Freecell A LOT. I distinctly remember John saying, "If you don't get into graduate school, it'll be your own fault!". So I stopped playing. For awhile. Then, when I got my Mac and ditched my PC, I no longer had Freecell on my computer. I was rid, it seemed, of the Freecell addiction. Recently, though, John found a Mac version of it and installed it on my laptop. And so the addiction is reborn. I'll just say this: it's not just that I'm good at it, it's that I'm damn good at it. If there were a Freecell championship, I'd be there. If they had Freecell games in the casinos, I'd be raking in the money. Since they don't have either, I'll have to be satisfied with the little victories I have when I win a game on my laptop. And I'll be limiting myself to one (okay, maybe two) games a day. Otherwise I'll never get anything done!
