Research released a couple of months ago has shown that well-adjusted people spend more on holiday shopping than non well-adjusted people. This research was funded by the group Citizens for More Liberal Use of Credit Cards. Life in the Boomer Lane was just pulling your leg. Maybe. The first sentence of the first paragraph was […]

Saturday was the Annual Life in the Boomer Lane Seder. The Seder, for those readers whose understanding of the Jewish religion is limited to “Jesus was Jewish, right?” is a traditional meal to honor the Passover. The Passover, for those readers who are still stuck on how Jesus could be Jewish if he celebrated Christmas […]

Having just barely survived a love and chaos-filled Thanksgiving, Life in the Boomer Lane has been experiencing the same kind of whiplash that Mitt Romney must be feeling right now. But, while Mitt is being forced to remain in the political purgatory mode, LBL can move on to other important issues in her life and […]

Life in the Boomer Lane has just hosted her children and grandchildren in a pre-Thanksgiving research project to test the theory that a house can hold 5.5 times the number of people it was designed to hold, as long as they are all related to each other. Six adults and five children occupied a space normally […]
