Jesus and James, Bros for Life

It Takes A Certain Kind of Brain to Envision A Flat Earth
December 1, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane, in spite of seriously hating high school and college science classes, has still unflaggingly maintained a deep respect for science, itself. She may not understand gravity, but, as long as she stays attached to the earth, she fervently believes in it. She may not understand aerodynamics but, as long as […]
Dementia Linked to Birthplace
November 27, 2017
Thanks to the folks at AARP, who are quoting an article in JAMA Neurology, we now know the states that produce the most people who will eventually succumb to dementia.

Facebook Flies the Friendly Skies
November 22, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane is always seeking unique travel experiences. She has had them on all forms of transportation, as well as in airports and train stations.

Journalists are constantly quoting Trump, as he bounces from one extreme to another, in reaction to domestic and world events.

November 3, 2017
Donald Trump Jr, devoted family man and bold slayer of large helpless mammals in Africa, took half of his daughter’s Halloween candy away, as a way to teach her the perils of socialism. He told her that her candy was going to “some kid who sat at home.” Life in the Boomer Lane is grateful […]
No Problem!

Contrary to the title of this post, it will not be about Trump’s answer to himself in the mirror, asking “Can I wipe out all GOP congressmen who don’t suck up to me?” Instead, this post is about the death of a beloved American phrase, “You’re welcome.” With the exception of the recent revival of […]
