Why I Don’t Ride A Bike

July 21, 2010

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. Apparently, his astute powers of observation are limited to things like “Wow!  Look at that squirrel in that tree a couple blocks down!” […]

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 […]

Why People Shave Cats

Every summer, there is a repeating scenario. Life in the Boomer Lane begins to notice that she is avoiding petting Miracle the Cat (even more so than usual), because the slightest touch will release a shower of cat hair all around her and she will be walking around in a perpetual state of cat hair […]

Body Flow. Not.

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 […]

My GPS Has A Different Accent Than Yours

Life in the Boomer Lane has a GPS in her car.  She got it because there is no GPS in her head.  There is not even a G.  There is nothing in whatever spot is supposed to hold some sense of direction.  She would like to think that space is taken up by impeccable taste.  […]

Life in the Boomer Lane spent one memorable Thanksgiving in London with Beloved Daughter and her family. Her younger son/youngest child and Her Always Baby and his girlfriend joined them.  Her Always Baby and his girlfriend had been together over a year, but this was her first experience traveling with LBL’s family.  For part of their stay, they […]

Grandma Does London

Life in the Boomer Lane is in London to celebrate the first birthday of First Grandchild.  Like any besotted grandmother, she believes her grandchild walks on water (or he would, if he walked).  On her last trip to London, she tried to smuggle him through Customs between France and the UK.  She has decided not […]

Life in the Boomer Lane is leaving for London in a week to celebrate the first birthday of First Grandchild.  On her last visit, she, along with Younger Son’s girlfriend, Artist Janelle, attempted to smuggle said grandchild across the border from France onto the Eurostar train that goes through the chunnel, in order to get […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt5

When Life in the Boomer Lane’s friend, Susan, goes on actual dates, she does exactly the same things that most people do. She goes out to dinner. She goes to the movies. She goes to female impersonator shows. But somehow, the end result always seems to veer off course. Sometimes, she and the guy never […]

When Susan arranges her first meetings with men, she is sometimes a bit too intentional about making sure she meets the right person. This is because she once went to the infamous bagel place and immediately saw a good looking man sitting at one of the tables. As he fit the description of who she was […]
