Patience is a virtue.

Some believe playing cards is a vice. There's enough evidence that I'm forced to agree, to an extent.

Putting that aside, cards can be innocent and light-hearted fun. A game can sharpen the mind and provide a welcome stress relief. If it can be said that playing cards hold any virtue, it is in the sharpening of concentration and the development of strategic thinking.

I've long had an interest in solitaire... By ten, I knew a dozen variations. (Before cable TV, kids found their own fun on a rainy afternoon.) Nowadays, I play solitaire on the computer.

Patience Solitaire, (for Windows), with over 200 games, is one of the most enjoyable freeware products I've ever downloaded. From Ace-in-the-Hole to Zebra, Patience Solitaire is crafted to be a comprehensive and infinitely replayable gaming experience.

We all have our vices, but patience is a virtue.
