POSTING #147
APOLOGIES ARE IN ORDER
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to prepare a Posting for May 27th as I had promised.
As we used to say in Arthur after a tough hockey game, I was ‘out of poof’.
Preparations for the War of 1812 Bicentennial, and some family activities completely overwhelmed me and I just wasn’t able to focus on the blog.
The next few months are going to be hectic as we mark the Declaration of War in mid-June and then get ready to commemorate the Battle of Queenston Heights and the death of General Brock in October.
Given all of that, I think it is unrealistic for me to try to have a new Posting each Sunday between now and mid-October.
However, I have a long list of blog subjects, and whenever I have some spare time I will upload a Posting.
You may wish to log on from time to time to see if there is anything new. Or, if you wish you could give me your email address and I will send you a note whenever a new Posting is uploaded. johnpathunter@gmail.com.
We'll see you from time to time this summer!

I tried to find the expression ‘out of poof’ in some dictionaries, but no luck. I decided it must be an ‘Arthurism’ but then Google found this comment from a woman in a support forum for pregnant women:
“anyone else huffin and puffin when they're fairly active?
i'm so out of poof! i wish i lived in a rambler. house work day, up and down the stairs, vacumming, and laundry and cleaning the kitchen with steam mop and dishes. nothing out of the ordinary, or too strenuous, but i felt out of breath by the end of it. i gotta lay off those potato chips.. i'm sweatin' like a sinner in church.
anyone else struggling with daily activies while pregnant?”
Google is fun!!
