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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s eight thousand ninety-third post in Lizzi’s Ten Things of Thankful(TToT) bloghop. If you’re new to the blogosphere, a ‘bloghop’ is a type of participatory writing…thingie. Surprising or not, our friend-who-knows-stuff-and-doesn’t-mind-passing-notes-when-Sister-Catherine-is-distracted, Wikipedia, doesn’t provide a particularly simple definition. All we have are ‘bloggers’ (‘bloggers motto: “Hey! Everyone with a computer only bought the device because the sales person promised it would allow them to read the semi-random thoughts of people, including, especially including, those who feel the editorial ‘we’ is so clearly a humble voice to use when ranting about reality, music videos and stream-of-couscous, knew they had to read every day!‘) posting their own definitions (probably at three-in-the-morning on September ‘Gotta Come up with Someteenth’.

But enough about them chefs and cooks and their assistants on the far-side of the swinging doors. For our entré

1) Una

2) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop (there!! see! what we talked about in the intro? there’s one of them rascals right here.)

5) serial story writing, the Whitechapel Interlude and the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf

6) the internet, in general, (for a clark it’s like the biggest used book/new magazine store possible) and the blogosphere, in particular, (it’s like the perfect Halloween Evening)

7) Vicari-Grat*: Phyllis’ and her penchant for doing fun things, despite how (or because of) how many of us have thought to slow down. (photo from one of her most recent moonrise swims at Narragansett Town Beach)

8)something, something

9) Field of Weeds. (Don’t mow it and they will grow….)

10) Secret Rule 1.3 which states, in part, [“…just getting to, like, Grat Number Seven, ya gotta be grateful for that…. but save it for Number 10”] op. cit. ibid and e pluribus unum

* vicarious gratitude…. “We’re glad you shared your fun with others..”

Now, it’s no secret we’re fans of Queen. We listen often (and post here, on the weekend, not infrequently). Thing of it is, while we knew the title of this song, we can’t say we know the song. Kinda fun tuneage.
