Pew is at it again. They have taken a break from all of their published research on the fallout of our presidential election and on current political trends, in order to focus on what really matters to people: online dating. This will have two benefits: First, it will, unlike politics, bring people together. Second, it […]
Life in the Boomer Lane has known several women who have been contacted by men who knew them as former boyfriends, decades earlier (in one case, at summer camp). These later-in-life reunions have been met with varying degrees of success, from a reawakening of young love to a realization that remaining comatose would be […]
It’s no secret that the US population is aging. The over-65 population numbered 40.4 million in 2010, an increase of 5.4 million or 15.3% since 2000. Baby boomers make up 35% of the American adult population. By 2015, those aged 50 and older will represent 45% of the U.S. population. If you are an older […]
Believe it or not, my friend Susan is not the only woman who has dibs on interesting and creepy dating experiences. My friend Gayane, jealous of Susan’s newfound notoriety, has shared her latest date with me on eHarmony. For those of you who are unfamiliar with eHarmony, either because you are married or partnered or currently […]

My friend Susan is back, after a short hiatus from the world of online dating (“I am NEVER going to do this again, and you can’t make me”). I had my work cut out for me. I gave her a lot of reasons why she should jump back in (“You are a fabulous woman and you […]
As Sitting Bull said, after the Battle of the Little Bighorn, “There are two sides to every story.” And, because I would heartily agree, I hereby present a rebuttal from Movie Man. Movie Man, aka Mike, is actually a Good Guy and he has become a good friend of Susan’s, in spite of their first date. When […]
I’ve had a lot of fun writing about Susan this week. Many of you, consisting of one person, asked if Susan was real. I have actually asked her that same question on several occasions, and she has always considered thoughtfully and then told me to shut up. Susan and I have been friends since 1998. […]
When Susan arranges her first meetings with men, she has to make sure she meets the right person. This is because she has, on at least one occasion, had an entire conversation with the wrong person in a public place. His wife, when she arrived, was not amused. Susan’s way of making sure that this […]
Welcome to a five-part series of reposts, a veritable cornucopia of past drivel, a best of, a past hits, a test of quantum physics. If all reality isn’t reality at all, and if everything is happening at the same time with no past, present, or future, then not only isn’t this a repost, the events portrayed are […]
