CSI: Realtor Edition
April 30, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Aside from being a hoarding therapist or a burglar, there is only one profession that allows one to enter the deepest recesses of other people’s homes with complete abandon. And, unlike the well-known hazards of the other two professions (being attacked by frenzied mammals or roaches/being sent to prison), there is little downside. That profession is Realtor. This […]
Ana, You Have No Gag Reflex!
April 24, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Let us start with a confession: When I wrote my scathing and witty series on The Fifty Shades of Grey books, an astute reader/fellow blogger commented by providing what she felt was the best quote in the book. Since then, this Sesquipedalian Songstress of Syntax has been trying to find a post to write in […]
Letitia, Uncovered
April 6, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Back in 1999, a year that occurred in the last century, back before youtube, the iPod, and the no-contact jacket, my friend Susan and I decided to start a speed dating company. We did this because: 1. We had no experience of starting a business of any kind 2. We had no experience of speed […]

April 1, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
The long and illustrious history of photography began many centuries before the first photograph was actually produced. Brilliant, creative minds like Chinese philosopher Mo Ti and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The first actual “modern” photograph of people,“Boulevard du Temple”, was taken by Louis […]
HEBBS: You Know Who You Are
March 31, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Be warned that there’s a new acronym on the street: HEBBS. This is not to be confused with Donald Hebbs (a Canadian psychologist), Bobby Hebbs (singer and songwriter of the hit song “Sunny”) or Hebb’s Auto Service in Halifax, NS. HEBBS, High-Earning Baby Boomers, are defined as Baby Boomers who live in households that have […]
The Aging of the High School Reunion
March 10, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Sometimes aging can make us feel like we are naked, smeared with bacon grease and deposited near a den of rabid grizzlies who have just completed a research project involving the effects of a prolonged vegan diet. While it might seem that there is no way out, know this: There is no way out. OK, […]
Middle Age vs The Middle Ages
February 22, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Many people nowadays confuse being middle aged with being in the Middle Ages. They can be forgiven for a certain amount of confusion, since neither group of people had births recorded on iPhones and immediately posted on social media networks around the planet.
