Got a good night's sleep. Hope that's a harbinger of what's to come in the new year. Put in an hour or two of writing/revising this morning, and got a start on another SF critique. Too nice a day to say in, though. Broke away from the keyboard around 11:00 and drove up to Mueller state park for an afternoon of snowshoeing. Temp was a little crisp, particularly when the wind kicked up, but the sky was a deep, New Mexico blue and the snow was as good as it gets. Ran across a doe, browsing for food on the return leg of the trip. Stopped and watched her for a while. It was one of those stop-and-enjoy moments. Perfect day, all things considered.
