Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
The is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. It is a list of the people, places, things and events (yeah, you might say that ‘events’ qualify as ‘things’ and thereby allow us to retain the original expression. But we didn’t. Seeing as you’re still reading, allow us to introduce you to the hostinae of this here bloghop here. Being far more … nor-mal and emotionally-developed (i.e. mature and capable of responding on a level of interpersonal sophistication higher than our), ‘Yeah? Well We’re rubber and you’re glue. Like that horse you rode in on.‘ err… our hostinae: Mimi, Dyanne, Denise, Misky, Lisa and Kristi. They will be better able to convey the intent of this ‘hop. Share the gratitude you experience and it is then multiplied in others.
ya know?
For the Doctrine:
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine (see Grat 8 below)
4) Closed on my upstate listing. No more Friday inspection trips. Alas, that means no more driving past the Port of Providence. Elimination of any further opportunities to paraphrase one Mr. Mix-a-Lot’s admission into our current favorite bon mots, i.e. ‘I like big boats’.
5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
6) the Unicorn Challenge
7) work in the woods (as opposed to wood-working or working the wood) photo of first phase:
8) Hey, couldn’t manipulate the word ‘Wagon’ (photo in previous Grat), into any humorous form (the closest we got was the theme of ‘Wagon Train’ but no one reading this is old and alive enough to have direct memory thereof. So, instead we got Vince Gill and Albert Lee (see video below).
… Hey! Wait a darn minute! That vid!! For TToT gratitioneer, Cai, you know how we say the three personality types of the Doctrine can be observed manifesting differently in three people doing the same thing? The three featured guitar players in the video are Vince Gill, James Burton and Albert Lee. Guess what? roger, scott and clark (respectively)…
Simple, impromptu study guide:
- the clark (Albert Lee) is easiest to identify: the guy with the unfashionably long hair and the bad posture … so clarklike;
- the scott (ProTip: with scotts? the guy in the black shirt who gets introduced and plays the first solo, (the eyes of a scott, unmistakeable always alert)
- finally that leaves the frontman (Vince Gill) as the roger. affable, easy going and confident)
See how much fun the Wakefield Doctrine can be?
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3
