The Blizzard of the Century and the Need for Aerosol Cheese
LBL doesn’t know which makes her more giddy with excitement, the Trump and Palin love fest (LBL prefers to refer to the union as “Tralin'”) or the fact that she has chosen this very week to be in Hawaii and thereby avoid the massive “Blizzard of a Lifetime” that is choking the […]
When Manners Trump Murder
January 20, 2016
It’s a common story: Friends gather for dinner, one friend kills another, and the result is that the hostess is never thanked for all the work she spent preparing and serving the meal. Not so in this case, according to yesterday’s Washington Post, reporting on a murder that took place on December 20, at […]
What the World Will Look Like Without Drivers
January 19, 2016
If the above title conjures up post-apocalyptic visions of empty roadways littered with old fast food wrappers, or, if the idea of driverless cars careening all over the road is enough to have you imagine the mayhem of a Road Runner cartoon, take heart.

November 13, 2015
For many thousands of years, mankind has wondered when old age began. Mostly, it began about a week after puberty. In the Middle Ages, reaching age 21 was the goal. If you made it tht far, you had a pretty good shot at living into your 60s. Of course, your teeth would have all rotted […]
My Body Parts Keep Forgetting How to Do Stuff
October 17, 2015
It started when something rolled under Life in the Boomer Lane’s bureau. LBL’s brain immediately started to bend down to retrieve the errant object. Her body did not follow. Her body stood there, while her brain imagined getting down, twisting around, and reaching. She finally decided that no item was that important, and she hoped […]
Why the Dating Game is Rigged Against Women
August 31, 2015
Life in the Boomer Lane, in perusing her weekly issue of Time, bypassed articles about all manner of significant news to share with loyal readers, and focused, instead, on the following: “There are now four college-grad women for every three college grad men among Americans ages 22-29.” And, as the years go by, the disparity […]
If I’m Over 60, I Must Not Be Having Sex
August 27, 2015
Thanks to an article on BBC.com, we now know that the vast majority of movie goers would prefer not to see people post-60 having sex onscreen. This fact dovetails with the vast majority of people post-60 who would prefer not to watch themselves having sex. In spite of this, film makers have lately started to […]
Should Men Even Exist?
August 14, 2015
The following was inspired by a recent article in the Washington Post, sent to Life in the Boomer Lane by an alert reader. The fact that LBL is writing about this is in no way indicative of her disrespect for men. Nor is it her intention to be the female version of Donald Trump. She […]

August 9, 2015
T: (answering phone)Trump here. You’re hired. You’re fired. You’re fucked, unless you’re me. P: Donald? T: Yeah, so what? Tell me something I didn’t know. P: This is Sarah, Sarah Palin? T: Hey Sarah, how’re they hangin’? P: I’m calling you because I read that you are sliding in the polls. T: Hey, the polls […]
