Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
A busy week stretches out before (most of) us… (insert your preferred metaphor here: scotts may employ animal/and or sexual imagery, rogers may safely write about how metaphor is simply a reflection of the reservations a person holds on communicating with others and clarks?… guess you kinda already weighed in on this one).
Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying the increasingly active interactions and such with the people who Comment here? Albeit many arrive via breadcrumbs… ( “oh look! there’s a blog we’ve never read before! what is it doing way out here? well, as long as Jen or Lizzi or Michelle know about it, how bad can it be?” ) Not only is the conversation increasing, but the kind of input and interactions is changing. It’s fun of a sort that I am not yet entirely used to, to have people that I don’t have to convince and/or teach the basics of the Wakefield Doctrine to, rather it is what I had hoped for from the beginning of this here blog here, Readers say, “hey, suppose a scott were to find a wallet on a bench in the mall?” or “well, why do clarks have to mumble and dress so weird, I know one and he can be so charming at times and then, when we’re out somewhere…he gets all… not really there! What’s up with that?”
Quick weekend update and then off to work!
- fun Video Breakfast with Michelle and Denise… seems like my new phone is going to make these Sunday morning affairs even more fun! (no, not that kind of affairs!!)
- Lizzi had house guests, still got the TToT off to a good start and then made it back for Sunday evening… if you get a chance go here (read the Comments at the various Posts…thats where half the fun is!)
- the Assessment Test (cleverly hidden in the middle of the damn landing/front page of the blog), is all! getting some takers and (more importantly) getting some feedback on it
- Christine did a story (as part of this weekend’s TToT) that was very intriguing, from a Doctrine perspective… go here and read about the cow in the yard adventure, come back and let us know what you think went on during the ‘situation’ that is not written on the page ( New Readers? she is a self-professed scott, so try out that perspective as you read the little story. remember the point of the Doctrine is to see the world as the other person experiences it.)
- Michelle and Denise are on a special assignment this week! they will begin to survey as many self-help/self-improvement sites and videos as possible, with an eye to seeing how the Wakefield Doctrine might approach it
That’s all for this Monday morning! Will try to get back a little later.
Seeing as we have Warren in the Title, we really should have the song too!



Yes! Video Brunch was very cool. Why? Besides seeing and talking real time with people well into the future, ok by 12 hours, it’s cool talking Doctrine stuff and getting affirmation. Michelle is a darned quick study. Am I surprised? No. Why? Because she’s a roger! And anyone that knows even an inkling of the Wakefield Doctrine knows, that once a roger becomes interested in a topic, project, etc they will “study, study study” until they feel they have achieved sufficient knowledge about the topic to then go forth, in public (preparation. it’s about being “prepared”), and talk about it. rogers, they be about facts, supporting documentation….verifiable results.
See what you guys missed! We talked a little about scotts… Too bad there wasn’t one there to prove us wrong sucka! (“what? a scott wouldn’t say that? yes they would!”)
I swear when we move, I’ll be able to enjoy the video brunches, too. In the meantime, I’m definitely enjoying the Saturday Drive when I can call in. :)
I hope you have a fabulous Monday! I’m taking advantage of conference day over here so no teaching. :)
Cyndi
when are you moving? …def on the Saturday Night Drives…fun and informative (for all of us).
Very cool. And it does seem to be the case that this is the hub of conversations each week, each post, and I love that.
Especially when our TToT gang weigh in.
Looking forward to the next VidBrunch.
Move? When? Where? Hey Cyndi, slip me some of your timeline adjustment mojo, you be all kinds of “moving”. LOL
It was great talking to you on the Sat. Call In Show last. You will definitely enjoy the Brunches. They are very enjoyable and always a learning experience. Plus you can make faces and hand gestures AND be seen! LOL
Thanks! You have a fabulous Monday also!
