An Open Letter to Elizabeth Lauten
Dear Elizabeth, I’ve just read your Facebook letter to Sasha and Malia Obama, followed by your apology.

LBL Attends A Political Presentation
January 6, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane attended a presentation yesterday evening, given by a candidate running for county board.

World events have been happening so quickly in the past week that, midway through my consumption of a sweet potato and marshmallow casserole, I seriously considered blowing off the Post-Thanksgiving-Held-on-Actual-Thanksgiving Midnight Madness at the local Walmart in order to track events as they were unfolding.
