Learning from my daughter

Enroute BZE-LAX

We fly a fair amount but until this morning I had never tried any of the games on the airplane--despite repeated requests over the years. Today, with my book finished, I gave in at last and tried Bejeweled. At first I tried it "blind" without much thought to strategy. Then my daughter offered some hints. And then I was hooked. It felt like gambling (not that I've ever gambled); my score went higher and higher and I couldn't stop. When it FINALLY all came to an end, I made a firm decision: no more airplane games for me. Too addicting.

(On the upside, the flight to LAX almost COMPLETELY vanished.) Almost home!
