[quote=Anonymous]I gave  up TV for Lent and now I'm addicted to solitaire. Every new game feels like a new chance at life. The Jacks turn up, their faces either enthusiastically ready to win or snide and pinched, as if being a minor royal gives them the right to look entitled, whether we win or lose. When I realize I could have played a card a few turns back that would have made a difference in the outcome, I feel like the guy in The Road -- the book, not the movie -- who realizes his kid left the valve on their camping stove open and now they're out of fuel. "He squatted there with his hands folded into a fist against his forehead, his eyes closed." The screen is burning holes in my eyes but I can't stop playing. It's not all bad tho. I used to be upset when our neighbor left for work at 6:30 am, loudly slamming the door, or at 6:30 am on the weekends opening and closing all of his car doors to fit his skiing gear in before turning on the radio and backing out, but now I don't care -- I'm already up, playing solitaire. When my kid texts me 5 minutes after he's supposed to be home telling me he's running late and will be home in ten minutes then 45 more minutes go by, I don't care -- I'm playing solitaire. Soon I'll be one of those people who walks across the street not looking up from their phone.

Thanks for nothing, Jesus.[/quote]
