I’ve always intended my blog to be a humorous take on life. Although I have certainly written serious pieces, they have mostly been about close friends and ordinary people I’ve met who have inspired me in some way.

In the interest of edification, enlightenment and entertainment, if not exorcism, Life in the Boomer Lane has arranged for a three-way Facetime interview with Stormy Daniels, Anatastia Vashukevich, and herself.
