I Am Superb!

I really am. What? You don't believe me? Look at what the paper says. It says, "If you get down to one marble, you are superb!"
In a previous post I might have mentioned that I (well, technically, Hubby and I, but why get hung up on technicalities?) got this game for Christmas called Peg Solitaire (although ours uses marbles) and it's addictive, I'm telling you. It really is. Hubby even went so far as to say, "Honey, I think you have a problem!" The object is to clear the board of marbles by using one marble to jump over the adjacent marble. The one that got jumped is removed. As you play, the game board looks like this....and then this....and finally this.... or this...or this!
As you can see, you can easily get to a point where there's no more moves left to make. And then you start again. One night, I sat in front of the tv watched one of my favorite shows and played Peg Solitaire the whole time. I think that was one of the times that Hubby observed I may have a problem. I wonder if there are Peg Solitaire Support Groups! Anyhow, I am proud to announce that last night, I went from being merely fair, often good, occasionally excellent to being "Superb". Unfortunately, I do not photographic proof. Although in this day and age, a picture doesn't always tell the truth. So, you'll just have to take my word for it, which is a good word, I assure you. Even though I do have a problem. With Peg Solitaire.
