Goodnight Sweetheart, Whoever You Are
July 19, 2010
Now Husband had a high school reunion yesterday. He is always having high school reunions, because he went to four high schools. Three were in Europe. One was in Morocco. So, in addition to the four reunions in the actual locations of the schools, there are four US-based reunions each year. This provides him with […]
Just Beat Me With A Banana
July 16, 2010
Stop the presses. Ok, what Life n the Boomer Lane mean is if there were presses, she would stop them. She’s on a rant. CNN just came out with a story titled “Study: Body Shape Affects Memory in Older Women/Memory Loss More Pronounced in Women Who Carry Excess Weight Around Their Hips, A Study Says.” […]

Twice a week, Life in the Boomer Lane takes a Pilates Reformer class at her gym. The “Reformer” is a big, lightly padded board on wheels, with levers, pulleys, weights, and other components, all employed without the benefit of a user’s manual. It was either invented by Mr Pilates, the same person who invented people […]

Grandma Does London
June 15, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is in London to celebrate the first birthday of First Grandchild. Like any besotted grandmother, she believes her grandchild walks on water (or he would, if he walked). On her last trip to London, she tried to smuggle him through Customs between France and the UK. She has decided not […]
Sixty isn’t the “New” Anything. Except sixty.
June 3, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is venting. She is seriously so tired of hearing people say things like “Sixty is the new fifty.” Or forty. Or even thirty. This morning, on one of the talk shows, she caught about 30 seconds of the guest going on and on about how sixty-year olds should go mountain […]

Why I Don’t Ride A Bike
July 21, 2010

The other day, Now Husband asked, “You don’t ride a bicycle?” This was an interesting question, since NH has known LBL since December 2002 and has lived with her since May 2006. Apparently, his astute powers of observation are limited to things like “Wow! Look at that squirrel in that tree a couple blocks down!” […]
