A Moment of Reflection and Self-Promotion
Taking a page from Trump’s personal Presidential Manual, Life in the Boomer Lane can think of no better way to start the week than with a bit of shameless self-promotion. So here goes: LBL does not like to occasionally trash Trump. She prefers to do it on a daily basis. To that end, she has […]
The Search for Happiness
November 15, 2017
Thanks to the latest issue of National Geographic, we all now know where people are happiest on this planet. Contrary to what you might be thinking, it’s not the free food sample stations at Costco. Nor is it sitting in front of the computer, staring at friends’ Facebook postings and hearing the familiar ding that […]
Democracy, In A Spin
November 13, 2017
Journalists are constantly quoting Trump, as he bounces from one extreme to another, in reaction to domestic and world events. One might think they do this as though there is actual credibility in the utterings of our Chief-of-State. Lately, Life in the Boomer Lane has suspected that they do it mainly as a reason to […]
A Vacation in A Toilet
November 9, 2017
Loyal readers should know by now that Life in the Boomer Lane leads a pretty darn fascinating life. This usually involves sitting in front of her computer screen in her pajamas, thinking of reasons why she shouldn’t go to the gym. At certain times, though, she is forced to get dressed and go out to […]
Using Candy to Understand the World
November 3, 2017
Donald Trump Jr, devoted family man and bold slayer of large helpless mammals in Africa, took half of his daughter’s Halloween candy away, as a way to teach her the perils of socialism. He told her that her candy was going to “some kid who sat at home.” Life in the Boomer Lane is grateful […]
No Problem!
October 25, 2017
Contrary to the title of this post, it will not be about Trump’s answer to himself in the mirror, asking “Can I wipe out all GOP congressmen who don’t suck up to me?” Instead, this post is about the death of a beloved American phrase, “You’re welcome.” With the exception of the recent revival of […]
A Private Phone Conversation Between Ivana and Melania
October 10, 2017
(ringing phone) Melania: Hello? Ivana (growly voice): Is Donald there, please? I am a representative of some country. I know it’s you, Ivana. It’s not me. It’s someone else. Ivana, you’ve tried this before. And Donald isn’t here. He’s on the golf course. Which one? I’m not telling you. And you need to stop calling. […]
The Blouse Man vs The Dress Man
October 9, 2017
The Blouse Man (1999) was a film set in 1969, about an unfulfilled housewife (Diane Lane) who spends the summer in the Catskills, along with tons of other women and their kids. Her husband, like all the other working spouses, arrives each weekend, for the sole purpose of reminding her how boring her marriage has […]
How 140 Characters Will End the World
September 27, 2017
For those readers who are unable to follow the often confusing timeline of US/N Korean shenanigans, the following is a timeline (induced almost entirely by whatever is in Life in the Boomer Lane’s head this morning) of presidential Tweets, N Korean bleats, and administration tap dancing feet, regarding N Korea: […]
When Your Brain Has A Mind of Its Own
September 25, 2017
This month’s issue of AARP Magazine will be of special interest to those readers who frequently announce “The Devil made me do it,” when confronted with their own self-damaging and/or inexplicable behavior. With all due respect to The Devil, Life in the Boomer Lane believes said Devil has been working overtime to create any number […]
