Last night, while playing games on the iPad I had one of those thoughts that pops in your head and then decides to set up shop and not pop back out. I have been going over and over it and wondering why it hit me.

So here is the set up: I was playing a game that my wife and I like to play. There is little skill level involved but it is mostly a game of chance. There is a small inkling of strategy involved (that is what keeps my playing). So one day I got the high score and accidentally put her name in. So now on the leader board her name is on top. I know and she knows that it was me, but now I MUST beat that score!! It has to be done.

So last night I played and played and played. Never beating the high score. I have a way I like to play, a strategy that I came up with.

And here is what hit me:

"Instead of trying to prefect an old strategy to get better results,

why not come up with a whole new strategy."

I know it sounds simple. But it is stuck in my head. I can't help but wonder if it is in there for reasons other than games. For some reason it is there and won't go away. Huh? What now?

P.S. The game was not Ms. Pacman, but Ms. Pacman is the greatest game ever invented.
