My Thoughts Don’t Even Cost A Penny
An apology to readers: I’ve been unable to write anything for the blog, given the current political situation. Both serious writing and parody are being done by people far more astute and clever than me. And making light of normal life seems too frivolous right now. But this week, at a dinner party, listening to […]
Everything is Being Stollen
February 10, 2025
Revered Leader, in Missive #2,408 last week, referred to our money being “stollen.” Life in the Boomer Lane was quite concerned and checked her bank account. Sure enough, it consisted only of iced pastries, filled with dried fruits and nuts. In order to get to the bottom of this, she went to her nearest bakery. […]
Messy Nessy for this Messy Planet
January 28, 2025
Face it: Most of us are addicted in some way to the internet. We check Dr Google when the slightest ache or pain or concerning symptom occurs (Spoiler altert: Almost all symptoms are due to some form of cancer, even if it is #102 in the list of possibilities). We also do research into anything […]
Saving the Planet, Episode One
January 22, 2025
Back in 1953, the Cut and Shoot, Texas Travelling Circus broke all records for the number of clowns (46) stuffed into a clown car. That record has been shatterd in the last couple days by the number of executive orders now stuffed into our collective brains by the Now and Forever First Ever True Leader […]
Inauspicious Inauguration
January 17, 2025
While Life in the Boomer Lane was writing a blog post she intended to unveil on Monday that had nothing to do with DJT, a headline galloped across her screen informing her that, because of extreme cold, the upcoming inauguration would be held indoors. Wow, she said to herself, way cool. (Huge pun here, right?). […]
The Acne of Our Times
January 10, 2025
Life in the Boomer Lane has always prided herself on being able to derive humor from the ordinary events of life, as well as the fearsome antics of those we elect to public office. But, like a small, warm spot on one’s cheek, that eventually turns into a raging pustule, the events that began in […]
Just Do Something, Part 1
November 18, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane suspects that many of us now feel like we are in the woods, in the dark, with no flashlight, listening to ominous noises that are coming ever closer. We need something to make us feel like we are not merely helpless prey. One suggestion is to use our purchasing power […]
The Day After
November 6, 2024
We have created a world in which the warped idea of something becomes more powerful than the reality. We are told that illegal immigrants are the devil, that certain politicians and certain media are wicked and deserve punishment for merely disagreeing, that violent videoed acts were actually patriotic, that the economy is in failure, that […]
An Elegy for Reasoning
September 26, 2024
JD Vance, among an astonishing number of spewings that could keep clown cars fueled for the foreseeable future, said something of incredible value the other day. Or at least of incredible value to Life in the Boomer Lane. With that caveat, she will continue. When challenged by CNN’s Dana Bash about his repeated declaration of […]
