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. Each week we invite bloggers and Readers to join us in a reflection on the state of gratitude (as manifested in the human mind(ish)). The theme…well, we kinda just stated the theme of this ‘hop. The format…err ‘Ten‘ Things of Thankful? (to quote from one of our favorite shows, ‘The Good Place‘… “come on, people! You can get this from context.“) But, as with most things on the internet, there are few hard and fast rules. You have more than ten things? type away! Less? Now having less than ten things is an opportunity!
What do we mean? We mean that one can reference Grat #10 in this (and every Doctrine TToT) post and leverage Secret Rule 1.3 of the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules) to ‘stay legal’. On this, we wanna do a shout-out to our newest Host, Andrew. If’n you read all of his TToTs you will detect a certain… what we call aggressive curiosity and fairly decent ability to extrapolate. Which is a quality shared by all Hosts and Hostinae.

3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) work: always varied, often frustrating, never boring spontaneous vid prompted by our disdain for ‘TED Talks’
6) Mia maintaining the viability of the perspective that ‘all reality is, to a small but significant degree, personal’
7) something, something
8) technology: besides enabling videos (on our damn telephones!) also preserves photos like the one in used in this post’s thumbnail
9) speaking of ‘the Sophomore’, the time travel quality of music, the emotional-connection to periods in our lifes that songs can evince…damn! (ed. grad school for today’s first vid)
10) Secret Rule 1.3

Watching a dog play in the snow is worth about ten items by itself.
Interesting poster.
yeah, back in the very early days I stumbled across the app that let a person stick words (titles and such) into a movie poster format
From TToT Host Andrew:
Couldn’t post the comment again so here it is…
Love the poster at the top of the post, Clark!
I hadn’t heard that Hendrix song – when I was a teenager, he was on Top of the Pops – a live music showcase and I was put off by his show-off antics and flashy paste rings, but when I saw him at Woodstock (the film) as a student, deconstructing the National Anthem, I realised what a virtuoso performer he was and me and Jimi have never looked back…
Have a good week
Andrew
The “TED talk” video was hilarious! I started watching it, then stopped and told John he had to join me. We both got a kick out of it.
And of course the dog in the snow video is always entertaining!
Oh my goodness, I forgot to linkie-up! Done now.
I could watch a dog playing in snow for hours. They know only pure joy when it comes to snow — or the beach.
I hope signs of spring greet you this week. It looks darned cold over there.
I concur
dogs are perfect
winter this year is endless
(and) np you’re here that’s what counts
