Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is a Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) post. We’ve been participating in this bloghop since the first post, in 1989. Created by Lizzi, currently hosted by Dyanne, the TToT is a sharing of views, opinions, reportage, memoir and fantasy focused on that most elusive of human experiences, gratitude. We, all of us, write a post comprised of a list of ten things that’ve elicited and otherwise prompted the feeling of gratitude. While it is typical in most bloghop introductions to mention that the guidelines are simply that, guidelines. The levels of writing skill present among the other writers and participants are such that little else is needed by way of explanation.
And …then there is the Wakefield Doctrine. In our defense, we will mention a certain tool available to participants, the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules).
It, (the BoSR/SBoR), kinda pulls the plastic slipcovers off the living room furniture and leaves out the little metal key thing, stuck to the bottom of the can of Planters Cocktail peanuts.
err.. better get to the list.
Something a little different this week.
Grats: 1 and 2 (video from the snow event of a couple of weeks ago)
Grats: 3 through 10 (skipping 6 and 9)
6) the internet ’cause where else, or more succinctly, in what other easily-accessible place in the world is it possible to share such a variety of thoughts, ideas and cool things.
9) something, something
music

Elevator pitches next time, if they’re still relevant. Good list.
lol with try…thanks.
It is nice to have a snow day with you and Una.
Thank you
Una did not appear to want to go into the house, lol Some dogs love the snow. Think she’s one of them :)
And who doesn’t enjoy a Doctrine vid drive!
Appreciate the variety of music today. Nice.
like many of the canine peoples, she enjoys the frozen sky waters
Nice to hear again the explanation of the Wakefield Doctrine.
That was a lot of snow, enough to slow things down a bit!
Great selections of music! Linda Ronstadt is such a multi-talented singer and performer!
I have only heard New York, New York sung very enthusiastically so Carey’s version set an entirely different mood.
yeah, been thinking, ‘When in doubt, get back to the basics’
the Linda Ronstadt song was ‘suggested’ when I heard it in the background of one of the shows we’ve been watching ‘Community’ (not her version, though, she was a clear choice when finding the song on ‘the youtube’)
New York, New York, at least the version I used started with a line from the song getting into my head and then, of course, having to find a non-Frank version (of course, ‘Ole Blue Eyes’ owns the tune, but I prefer the version I used this week)
