Irony

Irony is the difference between what one would expect to happen and what actually happens. The Greek word for irony is εἰρωνεία which probably best means incongruity.

A bit of irony happened in our neighborhood recently. Lamars Donuts opened in a nearby strip mall last summer.

They make a mean donut. There is no way they can be healthy though. So, in a bit of irony, Curves will be opening next to to Lamar's. Women in southwest Omaha will be able to burn 500 calories in 30 minutes and then go eat 500 calories in 30 seconds.

Consider it irony that Jesus died so that we might have life.

Another easy run today. I did 11 miles in the hills at
7:30 per mile.
