Which is the entire point. I could say something mellifluous at this point about the impending death of human society as well but there isn’t any point, no one would read it anyway.
So I will instead give my observations on freecell, the older windows version of it. I have never in my life beaten “Klondike” solitaire without cheating {so saying I beat a game of it the next day without cheating}. With free cell as long as you don’t have a rare unsolvable pattern (which mostly have the face cards on the “top” and the aces and earlier cards buried on the bottom) it is not especially hard to eventually win through. I find that the key is always trying to keep at least one of your cells free, the more that are free or can quickly be freed the better. I have frequently been buried in muck with one cell free and managed to win through. Well frequently is relative I’m not over here spending all my time playing this thing.
No instead I’ve been playing chess against myself. I am actually so bad at chess that it took me something like 20 moves to bring checkmate against my own king when it was all by itself. I frequently lost track of whose turn it was too. I worry lately that I’m coming down with the alzheimer’s which back in the day was just going senile. I never thought my memory and concentration would desert me as those have typically been all I’ve had to rely on but it seems that things are heading that way. Perhaps they have simply been used up at this point. Maybe I’ll try drinking more caffeine, I read somewhere that a correlation has been found between caffeine consumption and memory. That probably won’t help my concentration though.
Well kids, next time you think about killing yourself or someone else just remember that there really isn’t anything that is sexy about dying. Really.
