Subject: How to DRY this up?

I have some API calls I'm making, all with the following sort of
begin-rescue-end wrapper:

(pseudo-code)

retries = 0
begin
  response = SomeAPI.api_method1(:request => { 'ThisId' => this_id })
rescue API::Exception => e
  retries.succ
  sleep( retries * 5 )
  retry unless retries > 2
end

where there are multiple api_methods and request forms. Seems like I
should be able to DRY this instead of doing this everywhere I have to
make this sort of API call.
