Food, friends, festivity...

Busy morning at the homestead. Not much writing. Got out for an early walk, though, and couldn't complain about the cold, the sky being so clear and sunny. Been thinking a lot about Wyoming lately. Looking forward to getting back there, maybe earlier than usual. Like to get started on a long piece, and that would be just the place for it. Nice and quiet. No interruptions.

Had a nice time at dinner last night. Went to Summit at the Broadmoor with the gang. Nice seeing Mr. Jessop again. Always makes for a nice conversation. Had escargot for the first time in years. Couldn't get enough. Arctic char for the entree. Also splendid. The others had a proper dessert of profiteroles/creme brulee/etc., but your truly went for a tawny port. Much happiness all around.

More decorating tonight. Gotta get dinner going. Nothing special. Andouille sausage, wine. Whatever else finds it way to the plate.
