Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Special Vacationette Edition of the TToT
Am writing from the ‘Fireplace Suite’ of the Ocean Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Ocean City, New Jersey at about 6:30 am.
1)Lets totally hear if for technology…. not just the gasoline engine-power vehicles that transported us here, but the phones that we used to take and send (through the ether) and all that….remarkable!
2) the Wakefield Doctrine … (big time there is so much to learn, especially out here on the 1st Annual Combined Wakefield Doctrine-TToT Vacation Safari (2015)… this is almost as much fun (and Doctrine learning-intensive as sitting in an airline terminal/sitting in the plane and watching everyone file on board!)
3) (for example: scotts: ‘they are self-narrating’ (they love people and are psychotically-sociable and when they do things, they will describe it (with great enthusiasm), “whoops!! dropped the napkin! Picking it up!! ha ha”
4) I’m grateful for my clarklike powers of ”sshh he seems nice enough, but lets just leave him he must be one of those people who can’t relax and always bring their work with them.
5) Phyllis (while very much a part of this challenge/vacation… she has the capacity to not be stressed, (provided the rogerian elements of her world are in order), and so, can enjoy both the actual relaxation of a short trip away from home and my own well-intended (one might even say, valiant), efforts to learn to enjoy one of the hallmark activities of real people everywhere, i.e. ‘the family vacation’
6) Una who is the family (along with Phyllis, of course)
7) The Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules) …wait a minute, let me check…. yep!! found it!! SR 39.3 chapter 5 sec 89: when away on vacation if the accommodations, while rather nice, are still a B&B, it’s permissable to take 2 two Item credit provided one has engaged in an activity that otherwise would have no-frickin-way-in-the-world happened, which is to eat breakfast on the porch of a converted Victorian home, with like, 2 inches between the tables and people all around who are hell-bent on talking to strangers…
8) see Item 7
9) I said, Item 7
10) 1.3!! (thank god for 1.3, no?)
will be back later in the day with more photos and such.

I can’t wait to meet you and Phyllis in Ocean City tomorrow!
What?! #7 Really?! Good for you! A coup for clarks lol
Hey! I can wear my WD shirt and/or hat and claim Ocean City, NJ for my own damn self!
Who will take my picture?!
Wait! I have a new phone everybody so I can take one of those there “selfies” :D
I’ll take your pic! OH WAIT! I DID!!!!! WE CLAIM OC,NJ!!!!!!
By the Treaty of Tordesillas (and the Right of Hat)… congratulations!….
One of those workaholics, eh? Hope you’re not wearing a three piece suit to the beach. See you tomorrow, Clark. Looking forward to meeting you and Phyllis.
lol no, but I do get a kick out of doing that when working showing beach properties, totally over-dressed (in comparison to the people at the beach).
same here… it will be fun
Hope you all have a great time meeting each other.
:-)
thank you!
Clark! Shall I give you an enormous hug or kiss first? Or both?
lol…I am so a natural hugging person.
Definitely both.
You’re having a blast and I wish I were there to meet you!! Enjoy your buddies and your friends, and yes, your breakfast!
perhaps the next one!
Ocean Mansion B&B sounds wonderful!! Yes, technology is wonderful.. Imagine if people from 100 years ago knew how the world would change in that little time.. Isn’t it wonderful how we end up with life-partners that complement us in such a perfect way! Richard has helped me being SO much more relaxed in comparison to pre-Richard me :-) Enjoy your little vacation!!

Will do… yeah, Phyllis does provide me with a certain sense of realistic accomplishment, when comes to learning challenges like staying in a Bed & Breakfast (aka ‘roger petting zoo’)
Hope you’re having a great time!
Thanks Kristi! Am almost vacationed out, which is not a reflection on the activities of the vacation as it is the re-asserting of the everyday world and habits and ways of thinking.
But, all in all, I think we did alright.
I tend to get twitchy if strangers are too physically close to me, never mind if I’m forced to make conversation beyond my personal limit of conversation minutes for the day. I shall keep in mind the possibility of forced sharing of breakfast space and perhaps avoid B & B’s with charming front porches.
lol… yeah and in a herd, rogers can get fair aggressive (that special kind of ‘projectile appreciate’, “Isn’t this such a beautiful home…porch”, (etc) all spoken at a volume and, like a ventriloquist, somehow aimed at you, sitting at your own table trying to enjoy a simply apple juice and come up with a blog Post’
I hope you and the gang are having a great time with Lizzi.
We are/we did!
Just call me jealous.
I have no doubt you all have had/are having a marvelous time. Good for you, going out of your desired comfort zone to join in on the festivities.
Hey J
We did have had/certainly are…. yeah, wait ’til you see the photos…lol
Hi Clark! I don’t know how I missed this, but I only saw your comment on the career blog you left on New Year’s Day. I feel so bad for missing it, sorry!!! I haven’t been very active on that site in a long time – slowly getting back into it again. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the warm wishes. I hope you’re well and that you’re having a good year so far? Enjoy autumn… I envy you with the crisp, cool weather starting now. It’s just turned to spring and it’s boiling hot already.
Hey Melanie!
np… (let me know if you want that on the blogroll or a new one …you are one of the original 3rd generation Friends of the Doctrine
now is the time for us to want to live in the southern hemi…. the Summer is gone and while there’s still some decent weather coming, so is Winter and cold
Yay for technology and your description of BB is pretty much exactly what I have always thought.
lol… it is so rogerian!
Was really great hanging with you guys… You did well for a trio who havent vacationed as such … even for one who has… hanging within the confines of camp Roger! Hey the cue is up….
yeah we did too and it was fun for us…glad you were there to repeat street addresses innumerable times for me!
oh I forgot about anadama, bananafana street.
Jealous, jealous, jealous, and #3 is SO not like me. NOT. NOT. NOT. Ask Christine….

I hope you had a great time on your vactionette!
