...my "arm" in a sling.

Fell on the ice while clearing the driveway of ice/snow/slush...injured the elbow. 
Appears to be a bone bruise and nothing more, but the radiologist will let us know for certain tomorrow. (Yeah, I'm not a complete fool -- we had it x-rayed.)

Anywho -- irony of ironies, nested:

1.  I fall on the ice while out clearing the ice so that nobody will fall on it and get injured.

2.  The doctor said I might want to ice my elbow to help alleviate pain and prevent swelling...from the ice-related injury it sustained.

I think I should go to bed now, and hope that "Blessed Irony" has finished attempting to make her presence known.

 ;)

I originally wrote this as an email to a friend, but thought it was a good enough example of living irony to share.

Mark Melnicoe/SacBee: Advertisers find that on Craigslist, it's survival of the sneakiest
Last May, after tracing the person he believed was killing his ads, Kelley filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court against James D. Smith, owner of Mother Nature's Clean Green house-cleaning service. .. Smith could not be reached for comment. The cell phone number listed with the county licensing division is out of service and his business address is a Florin Road apartment where no one answered the door Wednesday.

"Craigslist," said attorney Barrett, "is the freakin' Wild West."

Agreed.
