Happy New Year!

Out with the old, in with the new, right?

I'm a big fan of Emily Yoffe's Human Guinea Pig column for slate.com. Though she most recently became a historical re-enactor on a "Colonial Farm," other columns have seen her become a drag king, compete in a Mrs. America pageant, and work at a day care.

I mention this because it's the New Year and people will be coming up with their resolutions (what'd I say about traditions and this holiday?) and before you go with a predictable "lose 10 pounds" or "eat more black eyed peas" or whatever, I thought this might provide some inspiration to try new things.

Maybe not dressing up as a drag king new things (though, if so, go for it) or trying to win a pageant new things, but new things nonetheless.
