As I was throwing out papers I found the following on a calendar page dated Sunday, May 18th, 2003:
"Forgive us for frantic buying and selling; for advertising the unnecessary and coveting the extravagant, and calling it good business when it is not good for you"
--Presbyterian Litany for Holy Communion
*How is doing too much related to materialism and consumerism? There's freedom in reflection
There you have it. Clearly this is a concept that has been rattling around with me for a while. And what did I do today? Too much, that's what.

Edit - I just noticed that this is post number 14,400 on this blog. How gross is that?

If you're curious about Emil Fischer and purines, let me throw you a link
That's a nice to Boccherini. I'm appreciating such links more these days.
Thanks, CL, for both comments. I had too many purines from all of those sources today - ouch! Hit every note. I prefer overdoing Boccherini rather than having too much HCN tetramerizin' into diaminomaleodinitrile. I hate it when that happens!
Way to stick it to Stickstoff!
Too Much?
That Master Bowl upon the shelf? We'll never know the sum in it
Of lesser bowls - that seemed superfluous when made - do fit.
Good one, rp.
Nitrogen in German sounds like glue. "I use it to stickstoff together."
Or maybe even a group of street percussionists.
What's the harm in a little Harnsäure?
I see you're in town.
It stopped raining here. For now.
I talked to people who think it was some kind of record here. They have short memories and don't recall the El Niño of 1998.

Are you subject to anti-Owsley dietary rules?
He avoided sugar and other carbs, I limit mine, but this week I found out that purines are in tea. TEA! Can you believe that? That is disheartening - I like, nay, I need caffeine. Gots ta have my Genußmittels every day. How is a fellow supposed to be productive if he is asleep on the recliner? I guess that is a rhetorical question.
Limiting purine intake is a tough one, Sixty. They're implicated in the origin of life.
I will find a path through the dietary thicket. Must be creative.
Organic chemistry just now is enough to drive one mad. It gives me the impression of a primeval forest full of the most remarkable things, a monstrous and boundless thicket, with no way of escape, into which one may well dread to enter.
Friedrich Wöhler, the father of modern organic chemistry (1835)
Purines play base in a well orchestrated body.
Oh my, CL, no you dih-int!
And if Wohler said it's a thicket then I am merely repeating the words of a great scientist.
