Thanks for the Memories
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 […]

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.

Unscheduled Ride-Sharing Tours
April 16, 2021
Having now been fully vaccinated (Note to Readers: Life in the Boomer Lane experienced absolutely no side effects from the second vaccine.

A Wet Farewell to Turkey
October 2, 2019
Life in the Boomer Lane has been wrestling about what should be the blog focus of her just-completed trip to Turkey. There were two top contenders. One was the astonishing beauty of the terrian, filled with sites of deep antiquity. The other is her new-found knowledge that, when one uses a bidet, then stands up […]
LBL Is Off
