Sometimes I miss blogging. The times that I miss blogging are when I’m driving home from work, stuck in traffic, and the local NPR station is running a story on the aging population’s inability to detect increasing levels of iron in their drinking water.
What?
Why does this story make me miss blogging? Because the reporter keeps pronouncing iron “EYE-rin.” Go ahead, say it out loud. Maybe I’m just a hick from Virginia by way of North Carolina, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard anyone in real life pronounce it “EYE-rin.”
Then I get to thinking about how I pronounce iron. IRE-n. EYE-ern. I was starting to go a little crazy. I needed an audience to bounce my break from reality off of.
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE ‘IRON,’ INTERNET?
So yes. I gotta get these thoughts out of my head.
Also, I’m a fan of this blog. And I’m grateful to it, as well – I parlayed this little outlet from a place to keep a friend updated on her rehomed dog, to a part-time job writing for a pet blog, to a job I love with an organization I adore.
So hello, old friends. Hope we can do this again real soon.
We hope to have you back to blogging as well. We love hearing about the dogs.
Newly following you so you HAVE to keep at this blog! Don’t tell me I clicked a button for nutton! I pronounce it EYE-ern
