Messy Nessy for this Messy Planet
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 […]
Thanks for the Memories
September 30, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane’s Now Husband has spent most of his life accumulating and retaining information. He is a walking compendium of all known knowledge of the universe. Had the Great Library of Alexandria, Egypt been around during his time, it wouldn’t have mattered if it then met its untimely demise due to Julius […]
Politics on the Run
August 28, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane was in the airport last week and decided to get a bag of popcorn for her flight (Indiana, with sea salt). The airport store she saw was run by Amazon. LBL hoped that meant that she could pay for the popcorn and Amazon would deliver it to her seat after […]
My Life is A Lie
November 8, 2023
Sometimes, it takes a relatively minor event to bring to the surface a profound disconnect between one’s supposed “truth” and reality of that truth disappearing. Buying an airfare ticket from American Airlines yesterday did so for Life in the Boomer Lane. It started predictably enough. LBL was in posession of an alleged $233 credit from […]

April 17, 2023
Back in 2021, Life in the Boomer Lane came up with the idea of celebrating her oldest grandchild’s Bar Mitzvah, due to take place in 2022, by taking him to Israel. One thing led to another, and, after a very short time, 15 people were signed on to the trip: LBL, Now Husband, three children, […]
Bollywood on the Bosphorus
September 26, 2022
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a glorious three week visit to Turkey, mostly spent in the company of Now Husband’s family. She returned to any number of media articles affording deep reflection of the Tsunami of Stupid that has taken over the GOP and its acolytes. In the next couple of […]
When Cheese Turns Deadly
July 5, 2022
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a whirlwind week-long girls’ road trip to the Berkshires. Along with scenery-gaping, museum-going, music-listening, and the required amount of shopping and eating and laughing, the group decided to spend time in one of their two hotel rooms, watching the latest session of the hearings into the […]
