Young Guys Troll Facebook for Boomer Women
Life in the Boomer Lane and her two co-authors have spent the last seven years writing books about life over 50, speaking to countless women’s groups and organizations, appearing in the media, and conducting workshops based on their books. A couple years ago, we created a Facebook page, inviting women at midlife and beyond to […]
The National Friendship Crisis
July 9, 2013
You know the 450 Friends you have on Facebook? The ones who comment on all the photos of the babies and puppies you post?

An Archaeological Dig, Without Leaving Home
July 1, 2013
It occurred to me over the past year that my children will never remove the approximately 100 large boxes stored in my attic. They have good reasons, mostly consisting of “We have no place for it.” I even resorted to saying “When I die, all you will do is throw everything out in the trash […]

May 17, 2013
The cover of the May issue of National Geographic shows a baby with the caption, “This Baby Will Live to be 120.” Inside the magazine is the article, titled “On Beyond 100.” Before diving headfirst into the article, Life in the Boomer Lane suspected it would be about the continuing rampant production of old people […]
Latest Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Throw Pillow
April 28, 2013
Having had such a swell time with my recent trip to the ER, I decided to arrange for another life threatening adventure. Since I had been caring for my one-and-a-half year old and three-and-a-half year old grandsons, all scary and deadly items had been safely stored away. So I had to get creative. Calling upon […]
Why Older Men Prefer Younger Women. Or Don’t.
March 5, 2013
On January 7, 2011, I posted a piece titled “The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women.” I said that, in spite of the common belief that all older men are chasing after younger women, my experience has been otherwise.
