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

Hey, ho! Looks like we got picked up for another Season! Thanks to all the ‘Teers for your effort. Without y’all with you cards and mail campaign, we might already be on Netflix. (There was an expression, aka fan meme, on one of our top three shows:  Community: ‘Six Seasons and a Movie’.

So keep the cards and letters coming. Tell you friends! (Friends not included or provided. Your social network may vary.)

To provide marketing help, here’s an elevator pitch that you’re all free to use when you encounter a friend or relative who, in a moment of vulnerability says, ‘The internet sucks. There’s no one who isn’t spoiling for a fight. Even worse, there’s nothing on cable worth watching.’

Say to them. ‘Go to the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop. They use a ‘list format’. It’s all about writing the things you really enjoy. But it’s also about things that other people enjoy. Link up with them and you’ll lose twenty pounds, your nail fungus will disappear and your days of wondering if all the negative people might be right will be over. Guaran-fricken-teed!’)

Our list for this week.

1) Una

2) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop for fun, serial fiction and the Unicorn Challenge for…well, like accepting the gift certificate to a day’s visit to the health club that everyone cool goes to and might even not stare. At least not too much

5) (hypo-grat*) the continuing process of establishing a perfect lawn for the cottage. Or, as most of the pros will say, getting the foundation of a perfect lawn to build on next season

6)  other favorite shows: the Good Place, The Magicians and, of course, the king of the ‘hey-what-can-we-do-on-an-0ngoing-basis-that-has-the-feel-of-an-underdog-sport-yet-the-drama-is-impressive-even-if-the-crowd-size-is-not-of-LPGA-golf?’ by god, you’re right! We’ll call it ‘How It’s Made‘

7) * ‘hypo-grat’ further proof that this ain’t your great-aunt Earline”s gratitude blog. (ok, it is a grat blog. But how many of the 678,003 such blogs allow, encourage even, the listing of things in our lives that, well, suck. The TToT do! Well, there is a certain approach that, in and of itself, is an advanced and rather sophisticated perspective on the world around us and the people who make it up.

8) something, something. Wait! Got a Surprise Grat!  The internet. What?!? Sure that’s on every list and half the embroidered doilies in the world. Wait Let us explain.  The first song on the music vid? Heard it on the college station we listen to. Well, Friday I’m driving to the office, the song came on. Standard sounding R&B… until the guitar solo in the break. Damn! Most excellent. Anyway, we searched the Youtube high and low, for, like 45 minutes. Found the song but not the same version. This morning had another go and… success! (the first music vid)

9) cohostinae Mimi and Lisa and Kristi and Dyanne!

10) Secret Rule 1.3 ‘If ya gotta ask, you’ve probably broken it‘
