Roxanne Jones blogs at boomerhaiku.com, a mostly light-hearted, often irreverent look at life as a boomer, 17 syllables at a time. When she’s not tapping out haikus, she’s a freelance medical copywriter, enjoys chardonnay and contemplates plastic surgery to get rid of the wattle on her neck. […]
Past Life Aggression
January 19, 2015
Life in the Boomer Lane has been giving some thought lately to past life regression. She has noticed that a lot of people (herself included) have characteristics that no other family members have.

Huffington Post, in addition to its usual piece, bleating that sex over age 50 is the BEST SEX EVER, has an article about post-60-year-olds’ first jobs.

An Interview With 114-Year-Old Anna Stoehr
October 17, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane’s father was often fond of saying “The first 100 years are the hardest.” Anna Stoehr of Minnesota proves him wrong. Stoehr, age 114, was forced to lie about her age in order to join Facebook. She was born in 1900, but Facebook doesn’t let new users choose a birth […]
