on average I win about 2/3rds of the freecell games I play. I usually play 100 games and then reset the counter, just to see if my game is slipping. It is. I used to regularly win 80+% of the games--about 10 year ago. Nowdays I usually get to just under 70%, sometimes as low as 60%, wins before hitting the re-set at 100. My brain is aging and I'm losing more often.

I always thought my knees would go first. Nope, it's the mental acuity. Knees'll probly be the third thing to quit on me, goddammit.
