Married to Mr Transportation
Now Husband Dan is thoughtful, physically affectionate, and never ends a phone call without saying “I love you.” For the last week, we have been living about 20 minutes away from each other and communicating mostly via phone. I have been on Anna Maria Island, helping Joyce. Dan has been in our trailer mobile home […]
Dr Zhivago was a Mere Innocent
February 1, 2011
I checked weather.com last night and saw the following blaring headlines: “Impending storm will cover half of the country! Storm will break all records! 100 million people will be impacted by this violent, destructive storm!” This morning was no better: “Historic blizzard and ice storm underway at this exact moment in the Midwest!” I turned […]
What 5 Inches Really Means
January 28, 2011
In case any of you have been living behind LBL’s washer and dryer with an assortment of her missing socks and underwear, you might not know that DC just had a five inch snowfall on Wednesday. Traffic police in the area were immediately diverted from directing traffic to riding around in big official-looking trucks. This resulted […]
Finding My Future in A Trashcan
January 1, 2011
One of the great ah-ha moments of LBL’s life began with the sight of small pieces of a photo in the trash can in the driveway of her marital residence. At first, what LBL was looking at made no sense to her. LBL recognized the photo, one taken by Now Husband, of her on a […]
Please don't take my crappy cell phone away from me!
November 19, 2010
My technological prowess stops somewhere between the invention of the wheel and that of the cotton gin. Everything else, I put under one of two categories: It’s magic and I like it. It’s a curse on my existence and I want it to go away. My enthusiasm for changing anything I have is comparable to […]

Life in the Boomer Lane’s technological prowess stops somewhere between the invention of the wheel and that of the cotton gin. Everything else, LBL puts under one of two categories: It’s magic and she likes it. It’s a curse on her existence and she wants it to go away. LBL’s enthusiasm for changing anything she has is […]
This Cricket was No Jiminy
November 8, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is not afraid of insects. Unless they want to crawl into her nose or ears. And they always do. Last night was a typical example. Visualize this: LBL is reading in bed. Now Husband is sleeping. It’s peaceful, serene. LBL is loving her book (To the End of the Land, David Grossman). […]
Rallying to Restore Marital Sanity
November 2, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane and Now Husband’s friend Judy was coming with them to attend the Rally to Restore Sanity. She was driving from New Jersey to their house on Friday evening. The phone rang. LBL picked it up at that exact same second that NH came rushing into the room, yelling “There is something wrong with […]
Who Was That Creepy Guy Giving Out Candy?
November 1, 2010
My Now Husband is sort of new to this Halloween thing, as well as to the Kid Thing in general. Last year, NH wore a scary mask that brought all the little kids to tears. This year, NH went to the door as himself (Only one child cried) and tried really hard to say bright, pleasant things to […]
