the Wakefield Doctrine ‘Always Chilled…Never Heated’

May 3, 2013

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)Finish the Sentence Friday.

(a ‘blog hop’ that is being: sponsored,  promoted, hosted by, enticed-into-by-the-charms-of, held-in-a-metaphorical-gymnasium-on-a-Friday-night, on-the-list-of-charming-old-homes-to-tour, the central feature of the blogosphere and experienced as the high point of the week at the BB&G, courtesy of the Doctrine’s three favorite Bloggarini : Janine, Kate, Stephanie and Dawn

(…be still, my dog(s) of war…just walk away”)

“If I were stuck on an island, I would like to have…”

the following in no particular order or emphasis:

• Ginger and Maryanne
• an internet connection
• the body of a 19 year old (gender optional)
• the mind of my present age
• 1 of my childhood friends
• 3 of my adolescent aged friends
• 1 of my teenage years girlfriends (real or imagined)
• my first car (1964 Chevy Bel Air station wagon in faded-to-orange-blue paint)
• a contract to complete the Wakefield Doctrine book (currently in ‘pre-write’)
• the physique to wear shorts without looking: a) silly, b) old or d) excessively gay (not that there’s anything wrong with being gay)
• an endless supply of BLTs (despite the climate there is always magically un-adulterated mayonnaise)
• a boat (just for sitting in and looking at the Island from the middle of the lagoon, with Maryanne waving and what I would swear looks like Ola in a clearing in the jungle)

Hey!  Somehow I have this little darling up at the beginning of the eponymous Friday morning…. hey!  don’t be afraid to call in tomorrow night (if you find yourself in a place at 8:00 pm EDT where you know where the kids are, and they seem to be happy and quiet or you have no plans and you feel like something that will challenge your beliefs and amuse you in ways that you haven’t been amused since…oh I don’t know… since, before girlfriends and boyfriends, husbands and wives, children and favorite pets became the central organizing feature of your reality.  call and you might find yourself enjoying, or not who can really say for sure?
