I do have a "cash" account.  I used to just take the withdrawals from my 
checking account to a miscellaneous expense account, but I found that 
Miscellaneous became a rather large expense, meaning I wasn't really 
tracking where a lot of money went.  I don't reconcile it.  Every once 
in a while I do count the money in my pocket and expense the difference 
to a Miscellaneous account.
