Does this mean I have to wear pants again, or is there a grace period where PJ’S will remain okay?

I get the feeling that’s what they meant by, “Don’t act like you’re still on Zoom.” :wink: I’ve got to find the nice clothing I used to wear when going out, instead of the pandemic-friendly wear that could be tossed into the nearest incinerator if necessary. :grimacing:

The Dear Wife and I are sporting over-alls, it’s the one stop shop for being clothed, stylish, and the extra pockets are great for snack storage. Follow me for other fashion tips!

Thankfully - in the northern hemisphere, at least - we’re heading into summer… which means you can ease yourself through the PJs->pants transition with a few months of swimwear or shorts!

Went to my first in-person social outing since February 2020 just last Sunday. Don’t sweat it, folks. It’s like falling off a bike. Or riding a log.

Funerals are a great way to ease back into social contact.

  1. Ritualized greetings.
  2. Awkward small talk and long silences are accepted.
  3. No need to bring beer or a side dish.
  4. Much hug and heartfelt handshake practice.
  5. No one will think it is strange if you suddenly burst into tears.

Pjs as partywear was a thing with the college students around here well before the pandemic hit. I did a double take the first time I saw a young man wandering around Newbury Street in his Pjs.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: PJ’s are new dog-walking evening wear, and I ain’t going back.
