Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.
Publlished continuously since 2001, the TToT is one of only three bloghops still listed on Interpol’s ‘Must Read’ posting (of seditious and ‘oh-they-can’t-be-serious) blogposts. Read while you still can! Freedom to write is secured by the persistence of those willing to stay up late (or get up early) and put their secret souls and less-than-back-from-the-cleaners laundry out before the world.
1) Una
2) Phyllis
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) semi-progress on the cottage patio project. Final choice to be made in pavers and, with any luck, work can begin soon(ish).
5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
6) Friend of the Doctrine Cynthia joined the ranks of Sixarians this week; writing a story; she will, we know, return with more adventures; we did, in appreciation, offered her a free subscription to: Semicolon Quarterly (The use and joyful abuse of second-rank punctuation; and others applications.) She, respectfully, refused to comment; semicolonolgy is a cruel mistress; relentless taskmaster and thrives on ambition and an excess of words.
7) the Zombie Christmas Project Chapter Nine: “O quam cito transit gloria mundi“* .
8) something, something
9) shout out to Nick and Mimi in their synergistic… synchronis… one of those cool Greco-Latin words ending in -istic** for their comments this week regarding the photo of the three progenitors. The served to remind us that not only does Time pass more rapidly than we realize, but the world around us*** changes. To wit: while the photo has been used from the beginning, a time during which direct knowledge of these three people was common among those frequenting this blog, time has totally slipped past us and, with it, the awareness that contemporary Readers might not recognize them nor their significance to this blog.
10) Secret Rule 1.3
* this form of the phrase appeared in Thomas à Kempis‘s 1418 work The Imitation of Christ: “O quam cito transit gloria mundi” (“How quickly the glory of the world passes away”).
** which we all learned in school is the a total ‘Be On Exam’ sigil
*** the personal reality that we experience as defined in these pages, ex cathedra of the Wakefield Doctrine

Looking forward to future pics on the patio project!
I think my comments are endingvup at your spam…
Let’s see if it was my Hellenic that the alforithm hated🙂
3…2…1..
So from half a globe and a bridgeable chasm despite the internet’s efforts to control us is the original text of Nick’s Hellenic commentationing:
Ο χρόνος άπαντα τοίσιν ύστερον φράσει. Λάλος γαρ ούτος ουκ ερωτώσιν λέγει.
Translation:” Time gives all the answers. Is very talkative and doesn’t even need the questions.”
that got through ok
So it was my Hellenic quote from Euripides!
(Btw, no Latin- something, Master Weaver…just good old Hellenic🙂)
so, quote the quote yo!
(if it fails, try the fbook and I’ll paste it hear, put it to the Man…
ain’t nothin like a little RTM to get a Sunday outa the chair (damn how things are changing! ytube had me click twice to get this song… “fuck you, I won’t do what ya tell me…”
lol
There’s a phase in construction called, It’ll never be finished! It’s only a phase.
Time can be a maddening thing.
totally agree
I’m sure the cottage patio project will turn out great. We’re waiting on beginning another project here, too, as we wait for the materials to go on sale.
it should be fun Once it’s done.
(talk about reality and fiction: the look Phyllis likes is as close to the patio in the Gulch family home on the Eastside of Providence RI… as described in my wip ‘Almira’)
Una looks fluffy and vigilant as ever. So cute! Looking forward to seeing progress on the cottage patio project! I’m grateful for the Doctrine – muchly – too.
She takes her role of protector quite seriously.
That’s quite a contrast in music! Just my style. Happy grats week!
same to you! (and, given my tardiness in replying, that maybe be fait accompli
