Really? Is it that hard to make a decent Freecell game?

The one thing I sorely miss now that I'm on Vista is that ubiquitous game of freecell that used to be available. So now I have an iGoogle account, complete with widgets--hey, I know, I'll search for a Freecell widget! Oh boy, lots to choose from. I chose one, add it to my screen, start playing--the window is too narrow to see the entire game, and no way to resize. Frustrated, I delete it and search again. The second game I try doesn't work at all. The third game is again too narrow--plus it makes me sit through a commercial for Febreze or something like that before I can play-- are you kidding me? Maybe I'll try again later.

Throwback

My wife and I got a nice surprise yesterday as we were selecting drinks and snacks for our upcoming road trip. It seems that real sugar is finding it's way back into soft drinks, for the first time in years. I didn't realize this, but pops like Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and others had been using corn syrup in their recipes instead of sugar. For a variety of reasons, they're now all switching back to sugar, which tastes better and is healthier anyway. They're calling these "new" flavors "Throwback". We got a couple and tried them, and I can't believe how good they taste. I didn't think I liked cola; now I know better. I hope this trend is permanent and not just a short-term marketing thing; if that's the case we may have to stock up on the good stuff.
