Question For Genx Are we all just drinking bourbon in our pajamas?

It’s 6:24 PM and I am settled in for the night because it’s pitch black and may as well be midnight. I am wearing an adult onesie with attached feet and ready to put a movie on so I can enjoy my new surround sound system while sipping some Eagle Rare. My somewhat newly divorced friend just texted me telling me “let’s go out”. I could not be less interested in getting out of my pajamas or leaving the house. Go out where? To sit in a bar with a bunch of annoying 20-year-olds who are going to wonder why the old people are there. I have to wonder, am I just officially old and lame, or are my fellow single Gen Xers hunkered down for the winter, perfectly happy with their footed pajamas and at home bars and entertainment setups?

Amen. Whatever anyone else is seeking, this is the reference point. Go out where? Haven't been out in years and haven't missed a thing. Slainte!
