1. Grab the nearest book. (N.B. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.

hm, page 123 doesn't have a fifth sentence, never mind 3 more.  How about the next closest book...

It was over.  What could I do?  I was engaged, and I would get on with the business at hand.
