Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is Saturday. This is Sunday. The photo/gif is from last weekend. It is my attempt to take photos while serving as Una’s …. damn! what is that word! Still can’t find it. It’s, like the personal assistant to someone while on an adventure (or safari). Not, ‘manservant’ not butler, not Man Friday.*
In any event, Kristi is our host and she invites you and anyone in your circle of friends to join in this once-weekly bloghop, the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). So get yourself a blog post and share the things that have recently (or in the past, whatever) inspired you to feel grateful. (The gif above that has you trying to decide if it makes you dizzy or, maybe one of the legs in the chair you’re sitting in is uneven. You’re not sure, but, by now, feel its best not to make any sudden moves. That endless scrolling sequence surely has three or four Grat Items in it. Which is a Doctrine way of saying, ‘Come on down!’)
10) Secret Rule 1.3.75 [ibid] ‘…[t]he fact of writing the penultimate Grat Item, does by virtue of [b]eing effectively last qualifies and can serve as the final item in a list of Gratitude.’ Special Rule, subset to 1.3: ‘…even when writing a list in reverse order, for god knows what reason.’
9) THIS SPACE AVAILBLE This is the Doctrine expressing the principle of ‘it’s all available in the here and now, all you gots to do is let go of the past (“You really were going to write a post this week”) and the future (“If only I had the time”) and send it in as a comment.
8) something something**
7) that Secret Book of Rules (aka Book of Secret Rules)… way handy.
6) Chapter 20 the Case of the Missing Starr. The Chapter still at the printers, should be appearing as a live link here, surely by mid-day. In the mean time here is the link to the whole story (with the chapters in order!)
5) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop… fun reading, challenging writing, just sayin
3) Summer is on it’s way!***
2) Phyllis
1) Una
* although… lol, I wouldn’t mind getting something in the way of a business card. Una’s Man Friday.
** you’ll have to take our word for the fact that we wrote the second something first, and first second…’cause, you know, backwards TToT
*** well, it is, as a matter of fact. t
This week makes it, what? only 49 days left!!1
1) Venial Euqinox (Latin: the naughty horse2) the days will then commence to be gettin longer and such and then, then!! only, like 212 days until I stop feeling cold.
2) lol
music
About clarkscottroger
Listening to the music (while reading/having read your post) makes me laugh – in a pleasant way :D (Music) Contrapuntally complimentary to your post lol
Take a bow, sir.. Umbrella.
P.S. And of course I am not picturing any of Clockwork Orange (film) at about 4 minutes 40 into the vid lol.
Yes. And such an odd conflict of impressions, as the first section totally ads a Warner Brothers cartoon element to the mix.
That was very pleasing music – perfect for a cold November afternoon.
true
Ha! I love your optimism: summer’s getting closer. And it’s 212 days until the cold stops!? Oy vey…I’m already wearing layers and it’s been in the 30s at night here. Last night I had layers on and COULD NOT GET WARM. What is this genetic defect?!
Oh wait…gratitude. Okay. I’m grateful for lots of warm layers that I LIVE IN for months during late fall, winter and early spring. But dang…I need to pull out my warmer gloves again. Though they make it harder to type…
And, of course, grateful for the Doctrine and Una and Phyllis and Denise and…and…hehe.
My resolution this year is not to not complain about the cold, but to not act surprised that it is.
lol
It’s always good to shake things up a bit!
Agree wholeheartedly.
I just didn’t want to leave your page. Love the music!
So sorry about summer escaping. By the time you read this, it won’t be quite so many days until the warmth returns. LOL
Thank you, Pat. (I enjoy watching certain music be played as I do listening)
This is true.
Unique concepts are a gratitude item!
Always!
