I find that I only have so much spiritual capital in my account every day. Even when the tank is full, I start to burn it off, and I can't burn it being Siskel or Ebert or a sporting event parking lot expert. I can't do any of that bullshit. Oh God, maybe I'll learn. Maybe I'll finally learn that someday.
