Love all of your articles, Jan, and this one made me smile the most. Laughed out loud. From the title, to Tom’s things flying out the window (poor Tom!), and lastly, staring down fear. Thank you! Happy New Year 💫

So I need to make a little confession here about red undergarments. At our local thrift store, I came across a red union suit, complete with the classic button up back door. I bought it for $3 while thinking about what bargain I got. After washing it four or five times just to be on the safe side, I tried it on and found it was a little large but in my mind I’m thinking how hot I must look for the lady in my life by wearing men’s lingerie. Right? Her reaction? “Where did you find that thing?” She asked it in the same tone of voice she used when she asked me when I planned to do something about a pack rat that took up residence under our front porch. More proof, if I actually needed it, that men and women are completely different species.

I'm on the lookout for collards this weekend! Despite the many years I've spent away from the south, I love coming back to that New Year's meal tradition (and I prepare black-eyed peas a special way; while my family will only eat them once a year, they're pretty delicious. The peas, not my family)! Happy New Year!

I am thinking of not wearing any underwear for the New Year. I will let you know how that goes! All my very best to you, Jan, for 2024.
