An update promising a better update

I’ve been on vacation and haven’t updated either this site or lopeyland.com lately. I’m working on it. A lot’s gone on and continues on, as usual. The salient highlights:

Not using the proper safety guard on a mandoline slicer — bad idea. Learning how to deal with fingertip bandages while bleeding profusely — useful skill. Learning how not to grimace at the sight of “AGH! BLOOD!” — good idea.

Jacob is “free and two-firds”. Jessie’s almost 19 months.

We’ll be sending Christmas cards out this year. Believe it or not.
