Why I Don't Ride A Bike
July 21, 2010
The other day, my Now Husband Dan asked, “You don’t ride a bicycle?” This was an interesting question, since we have known each other since December 2002 and have lived together/been married for the last four years. Apparently, his astute powers of observation are limited to things like “Wow! Look at that squirrel in that […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Time Travel Without Frequent Flyer Miles

On Tuesday night, there was an installment of a special series called “Through the Wormhole” on the Science Channel, hosted by Morgan Freeman, which is the only reason Life in the Boomer Lane watched it. She doesn’t like Science. Worse, science doesn’t like her, and is constantly foiling her attempts to do things like live […]

Life in the Boomer Lane had lunch with a friend the other day, and, at the end of the meal, her friend pulled out her wallet. It was very small and compact and looked exactly like that used by LBL. LBL applauded her for not carrying around the usual behemoth wallet that most women did. […]
