How disappointing.

Just when John seems about to embark upon a new romantic (or otherwise) adventure, he tells us he is capable of discretion. Just about everyone is capable of discretion, but is it appropriate in this case? Particularly for someone like John. I don't think I know anyone who presses for more details, and with quite such persistence, on other people's romantic encounters.

Discretion belongs in the philosophizing, I say. Less philosophizing, more juicy details.
