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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.

A little late this week. So, when in doubt, give Hostinae (and Host) a shoutout. No, wait, lets make this an entire Grat, as in #7.  In the meantime, we’ll just mention that this bloghop is a hundred ninety years old, is the highest circulation grat blogs in Slovenia, six years running. And it’s fun and good exercise to write each week.

For the Wakefield Doctrine, our TToT list be:

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

5) technology: specifically the phone with it’s camera (still and video) serially how could we have predicted this, back when growing up, even reading science fiction, not a clue

6) less than 2 months (45 days) until Summer!

7) Our hostinae: Dyanne (one of two remaining original hosts… think, Dorothy but with more ‘tude ); Kristi (the other original, as in ‘picked by our Founderess… earliest advocate of the photo-enhanced TToT), Lisa (of Prolific Pulse Press fame and a hostinae… hard-working much?), Denise (speaking of  hard-working hosts, besides contributing to this ‘hop she is sole-host of the Six Sentence Story… damn!) Misky (now we’re getting to the new generation, and talk about taking the photographism of early TToT and adding illustrations and simple, elegant layout to this thing of ours… booyah), then… then there’s cai (we’re running a number of metaphoric descriptions through our mind… but, basically cai ‘walked up’ to the TToT and said, ‘Cool bloghop, mind if I sit in?’ think: analyst in proper victorian study with a color-collision smock and being totally in touch with the heart of the 21st C blogosphere), KnitCat (we bumped into her soon after meeting cai and it was, …think Mrs. Rogers virtual neighborhood… kind and comfortable place to hangout) and… our newest Host Andrew (you wanna a ‘this is why we’re grateful for… ?  he just shows up, participates and…and! in one (of his TToT) he independently ‘discovers’ Secret Rule 1.3!! not for nothin’ but that is cool)

… and Mimi ( what can we say? talk about yer ‘walk the walk’ damn!)

8) something, something

9) health (generically speaking… nothing blatant like, ‘had a physical passed all the tests!’ Not for nothin, but what used to be a major health-naintenance event (granted, if only to stop the chorus of, ‘You should have a yearly check up, everyone has a yearly checkup.’  Jeez what a let down… it’s like open-book, pass/fail thing nowadays. And…and on top of that, it’s a Open Book exam! ‘We’ll email you the labs results. We’re on the honor system. No looking at your neighbor’s test results’. lol

10) Secret Rule 1.3 (from the Book of Secret Rules, aka the Secret Book of Rules)
