Perhaps it is the lemming in me, or perhaps I feel a need to be one with others, or hell, perhaps it is because I am not in the mood for thinking, but I offer the following for my entry today.....
As an interesting experiment, please read and mimic the following set of instructions that I have seen on several sites thus far today. In case you wish to see the background to this project, follow this link:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
As directed, here are my findings:
1. The nearest book to me is "Endocrinology" by Hadley.
2. Page 23 discusses general classes of chemical messengers.
3. The fifth complete sentence is in a section subtitled "Steroid Hormones"
4. The fifth complete sentence reads:
"The adrenal steroidogenic tissue produces glucocorticoids (e.g., cortisol, corticosterone, and cortisone) and mineralcorticoids (e.g., aldosterone). "
It is rather interesting to see how and what others are reading (or at least have near them). It would be fun to see what sort of story could be created.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
