Solitaire

Well I've wasted yet another hour of my life.....this time playing solitaire. Not the wimpy draw one card each time solitaire, but Spider Solitaire. I wasn't tired from my late night this morning but after playing solitaire for about 25 minutes I started to blankly stare at the screen and click on random cards. I could have took a quick nap but I was determined to win a game. It was not to be though, as I began to forget how to count to 10 which is kind of a necessary skill for solitaire. During this ongoing quest to waste time, I decided to open a second window and watch some TV on my laptop... Wow! Now I'm efficiently wasting time!

I began to wonder more about this game and how many people play it...
