Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

* I know Mimi is smiling at our little lagniappe of a post… (For Grat 6 we gots to mention Boudreaux and Thibodeaux, a slice of reality I’m glad I learnt… this link is from a couple of weeks ago on a Friday or, maybe a Tuesday.)

** NY = New Year’s

*** how far back in the past, aka when you were a kid?  there was no such thing as 911. Even on a fancy princess phone.

(&(*$&?)

… remember the old saying, “As above, so below'(?) Maybe we need to semi-paraphrase that…a little: “As on the monitor, so out there…”

Sure! Perfect. I like it.*

The Book of Secret Rules (aka Secret Book of Rules) should be cited twice, as Graticulus Quatrominus and, of course, Numero Ten(o)…. ’cause, it is from this eponymous book, I draw the moral, if not rhetorical authority, to hit ‘Publish’ … just several, not-yet-quanitified momentous time-units-from-now. (Below is from our 20 Minute Real Estate Briefing which runs Live each week on FB  (which can also be found on Youtube. Thanks to Lisa and them what followed us on Wednesday.)

Order! Order! You’re out of Order!

Onwards!! To work them serial words and… (in a desperate attempt to convince Dyanne to stop writing her letter of resignation.)

You know, I’m only half-way through writing this post. (Wait!!! Lisa!! No… WhiteOut^© doesn’t work on monitors and… for god’s sake don’t try to override with with MS Autocorrect).

Seeing how I drove down Memory Lane on my NY** post… I think it’s good to stretch a bit. A chortle is not inappropriate, as we have all had the experience, back when we were kids, there would be that moment, either in front of a Christmas tree or, worse, arms length from a barbecue grill (before there were propane grills (for anyone other than the rich relatives who lived in places like Far Rockaway or San Diego) that was full of arm-hair-curling, white-hot Kingsford Charcoal^™); “Hey, let me have that. I’ll show you how to ride/balance/play/wear that! You kids think you’re the only ones, watch this…***

Books and serials and stories and such: ‘the Whitechapel Interlude‘ and ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf‘

(For anyone commenting about the addition of a character to ‘the Missing Fig Leaf’ to wit,  one Anya Claireaux, a little background. Anya might very well be one of my ‘oldest’ characters. Her first appearance was in ‘Blog Dominion’. (Which was my first serial story. I totally want to thank Kristi for her help and assistance, she was my first beta reader.)

Anyway… here’s an excerpt from ‘the Case of the Missing Starr‘ which should illustrate why I enjoy her character so much. In this chapter Anya calls the main bad guy to protect Sister Margaret Ryan.

Did Lizzi ever mention ‘word count’? Damn! I seem to be approaching four digit wordage!

Thanks include (Grat Seven and Eight) Lizzi and the Ten Things of Thankful

(Someone check on Dyanne for us…. keep telling telling her, ‘It’s only a blog post… it’s only a blog post’)

Fave photae:

Sure,

This has been a typical Wakefield Doctrine post to (the) Ten Things of Thankful bloghop

…for this week, I’m grateful for: lol

to close (in reverse order…)

3) the Wakefield Doctrine because it has, (made available), a perspective on life and reality and such that not only permits me to get all rhetoric-and-finger-paint on a highly-regarded gratitude bloghop, but to jump the gap between silly and serious… Example: About twenty-five minutes ago I got a call from a client and, as a result, I had to stop writing and go check on some work being done on a condo. Fine. Went there and did that. The thing was, as I drove home, I ran through my head where I’d left off on this post. ..exactly! (Several Readers, including Cynthia and Denise are nodding in anticipation), I was still in the ‘real’ world and part of me was starting to say, (in a condescendingly faux-kind way), ‘Well, maybe you went a little overboard on the post. There’s still time to write one that is…. less whatever.’

But fortunately the Wakefield Doctrine reminded me that I have three manifestations of reality available to me. And, be it the Reality of the Outsider(clarks) or the World of the Predator(scotts) or the Life of the Herd Member(rogers) none require a denial or abdication of the other two.
