Leave the gun, take the cannoli...

They say the first step is admitting that you have a problem.  Well, I do.  I am addicted to Mafia Wars - a Facebook game who's sole purpose is to complete "jobs" and achieve higher levels.  There's heists and hauls, hits and boss fights.  You travel the world:  New York to Bangkok, Moscow to Vegas, Cuba to Atlantic City.  And Italy is coming soon.  It's not a mere obsession, it's a sickness.  My astute son asks, "Daddy, why is Mommy crying?"  No, that's not what he really asked.  His query:  "Why do you play that game?  It's just a lot of clicking."  I don't have a reasonable rationale.  Just when I think I'm done, they add more jobs, more scenic locales.  Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.  Cue the violin music....
