My Uterus, Myself
August 26, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Todd Akin, when he isn’t advocating for an audit of the Federal Reserve System, has become a spokesperson for a return to medieval notions of women and fertility.

Papa Johns, the third largest pizza takeout and delivery company in the country, has been […]
Really Important Stuff That Happened When I Was Gone
June 20, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Because the sum total of the money I have made from blogging approximates that of the current Greek GNP, and because I like to engage in frivolous activities like paying the mortgage, I decided to focus on my real estate career for a while, instead of on my keyboard.

Middle Age vs The Middle Ages
February 22, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane

October 27, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I’m not a lifelong Liberal. I’ve always been fortunate/cursed to see both sides to any issue. Because of that, I often feel paralyzed about making a voting decision. And, unlike many people, I can’t get past my dislike of a politician and simply vote the party line. But I’ve been around long enough now to […]
