We were having the carpets cleaned at our house, and I was sitting at my desk in my home office. No chance of doing anything productive with carpet-cleaning machinery roaring all around. So I was plunking away at computer Solitaire. The carpet guy noticed and said: "Solitaire, huh? It's funny, with all the high-tech games out there, the one I see people playing most is good old Solitaire." "It's my downfall," I said without looking away from the screen, too busy losing another game. "Keeps me from getting any work done." "You're in good company," he said. "Everywhere I go, everyone's playing Solitaire. Doctors and lawyers. Everyone." The true American addiction? Computer solitaire |
