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

This is our contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop.

1) Una (Guarding the sleeping Phyllis[Grat 8])

2) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine because, as a tool for self-improving oneself, it is second to none.

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

5) Serial stories and the states of mind/being they require in order to enjoy, these include: ‘the Whitechapel Interlude‘, ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf‘ and ‘Tales from the Six Sentence Café & Bistro‘

6) Yard projects and a new efficacy of exercise. After years of practice, we find that twenty minutes of work in the yard produces the same level of exhaustion it used to take two hours to realize.

7) (Hypo-grat) Damn that quick brown fox! We were just thinking, “Hey, didn’t a fox run along the path last Sunday at about this time, maybe we should get the camera out.” And we were all, “Nah, that’s silly clarklike belief, like the animal’s got not only a schedule for the time of day but the day of the week. Finish writing this TToT and…”

…sure enough… might as well have had a cartoon cue card pop up in the trees… the fricken fox entered stage right, wasn’t even moving that quickly, (it knew I wouldn’t be able to react, at least it didn’t like stop and do some animate fox on the way to a hen house kinda thing… and loped along towards the left and out of sight.)

… “Call me Clark Scottroger. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely…”

8) something, something

9) * dude! she’s a dog (Una, not Phyllis) her senses allow her to close her eyes and lie on the floor and hear a rabbit chewing clover in the front yard. Still she (Una, not Phyllis) makes sure all is well in the home she created (this time Phyllis).

10) SR 1.3 One of the many Secret Rules in the eponymous Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules)
