My Gift From Ahh Bra Means A Win For You
August 21, 2013
Life in the Boomer Lane is grateful that the long tradition of bestowing domesticated animals on others as gifts, has, with the exception of small pockets of the country, become passé. She is also grateful that, in this amazing and wondrous world of bloated information, celebs, governments and companies can capture every reference to themselves […]
I Am Honored, Farklempt, and Completely Pissed Off
February 20, 2013
Peg, of Peg-o-Leg’s Ramblings, is one of those bloggers who regularly knocks me down to size, which is completely depressing since I am 5’1″ tall and usually totter around in high heels and big hats so no one notices. Except they do anyway. Back to Peg. Every time I write one of my world class, priceless posts […]

A Short Hiatus From Blogging
November 10, 2012
Like Facebook, Twitter, and Donald Trump’s brain synapses, blogging imparts a belief that one’s thoughts are vital to the well-being of the planet.

Becoming A Smart Ass, the Cottonelle Way
September 19, 2012
I never thought I’d be writing a post about toilet paper. On the other hand, I also never thought I would have written posts about things spewing out of my nose, zombie pustules from outer space, and placentas. But when my palm is being greased (in a manner of speaking), I suppose I’ll write about […]

Things You Can Find in an Airport Bathroom
November 2, 2011
The Sunday before last, I was invited to speak to a group of women in Hemet, CA. I speak to a lot of women, and I speak mostly about life after 50. My co-authors and I like to say that we are here to change the conversation about women over 50. We’re pretty passionate about […]
