Congratulations. It's a step in the right direction, I suppose.

I guess this is the right place to announce that I recently beat Spider Solitare on the difficult setting.

Way to go!! It's computer pinball all the way for me.

... although I'm down to only one or two games a day. :tongue

I once had a very long winning streak on free cell, but this was before AW so there was nobody I could tell without feeling ridiculous. Not that I didn't tell people anyway. They just looked at me funny. Then again, people usually look at me funny.

It was something like 37 games over a few days. Let me tell you, I felt like I was in some kind of zone, the way all great athletes do on a streak. Unfortunately, this was free cell, not the World Series or even ping-pong. On the other hand, it was a nice zone. Sometimes I get in that zone in Scrabble. It's called "getting the letters."

Not to be a buzzkill or anything, but this is an Office Party thing, really.

There's always spider, freecell, and mineblaster in your future ....

Aren't these feeble excuses not to write?

Spider Solitaire...is a harder habit to break than regular solitaire.

Regular solitaire is just BOOORING.

i've had two wins on spider solitaire's most difficult setting - i think i got something like 200 losses before winning -
so then i treated myself to the easy one-suit game for a while ...
