So I was talking to someone on AIM while playing freecell having one of those meaningfull conversations you hear tell about on the TV.  After a while I'd managed to get myself onto quite a winning streak.   
  However, at some point I must not have been paying attention because I made some stupid moves and played myself into a corner ending my streak.  Dissapointed at how all the hard work I'd put forth that had gone to waste, I quit freecell and vowed never to play it again.
  After a while though I started to think about it, and really that's no way to go about it. Giving up just because of getting my streak broken once isn't going to help anything.  I mean, admittedly, I didn't want to risk getting my streak broken so easily again.  But I'm probably much better from the experience and could get an even higher streak next time.  If I never played again, then I'd never have a chance to find out, and I'm not willing to risk that.
