Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. A fifty-two times-a-year posting of a list of those people, places and things that elicit, incite and otherwise bring about, however transitory, a state of gratitude.
Convention, since inception,
Categories unbound.
Topics where found, reasoning sound.
Inspiration flows, seeking expression from pen,
Complete or not, at Ten, the end.
…err ignore that man behind the curtain (The ‘Muses’, most often depicted as benefactors and otherwise benign demigods, can also easily be imagined as the unbalanced and frequently drunk ex-g/f-friend, standing outside a night-time window, singing song fragments or, bursting into a workplace, (during working hours), extolling the good times in the past, with the sexy allure of a 3:00 am nightclub parking lot. heck… a pome in the intro to an otherwise high-minded exercise of celebrating the virtue of gratitude? Done far more degrading things under the stinging lash of Cupid than we care to admit)
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine. sine qua, remember? sine qua non
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. (Got a hankerin’ to do some writing and such? Stop in… lots of variety, very open and welcoming group)
5) serial story-writing the Whitechapel Interlude and the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf
6) technology. like, is there anything, as borne witness on the sole basis of this post, that is not a facet of the 21st C?
7) decreasing chance of frostbite and/or Seasonal Affective Disorder (Fun Fact: of the three predominant worldviews, scotts of so prone to this affliction as to be a semi-primary characteristic.) But the weather has at times been a bit on the late-November-rainy-Monday side, experientially-speaking, it beats the heck outa Wynta
8) something, something
9) Visit from Friend of the Doctrine Cynthia last night on the Saturday Night Drive call-in, (yes, it is still a thing). Always a good thing when Cynthia calls in. We hear new tales of adventure and lessons-learned from a clark finding her way through the sometimes stressful, but always, in the end, life-enhancing process of living.
10) Secret Rule 1.3. “…keep typing, let the words call you along the path”
Music vids (lyric advisory on at least one of the following1)
1) yeah, a little smart-assed, that…

Always a joy to read about what brings joy to your life.
Very enjoyable TToT, and the curling does seem to go with the November like weather.
Thank you.
A smile has been generated.
Good to see the library is becoming more “solid”.
Enjoyed all vids but tell me Fred’s entire band, backup singers are not having a most excellent time. I believe I get as much enjoyment from watching them play, sing, than listening to them, lol
Yes! It was good talking with Cynthia and listening to her recent “adventures”.
‘specially the horn section (notice Fred’s backup singers enjoying the old-school rhythm playing I suspect they (the horns, were hired for that gig or tour only)
Will winter ever go away this year for good, or is it like covid and going to keep rearing its ugly head?!
ps I love that version of Don’t Be Cruel
hopefully…getting back into the ’50s (from below-freezing-daytime-temperatures)
Heh. Life enhancing process of living. That’s for sure. Saw this last week when it came out and meant to fly over and have a visit and a comment. :) Hope you have a good week!
