Behind the Scenes Birthday Weekend
As we all know, life, just like Supreme Court decisions, can cause whiplash. Life in the Boomer Lane has already written a thoughtful piece about the meaning for her of turning seventy-five. Let’s leave that for the moment and address ourselves to the reality of what was going on behind the scenes during her birthday […]
Coach Flies First Class
April 27, 2022
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from visiting her First Born and his Family in Seattle. While there, she contracted a nasty cold. She had the opportunity to fly first class when returning to DC and grabbed it. This would be her first time flying first class. When Group One was called to […]
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. It was a non-event, leading her to believe that it was a fake vaccine created by the same folks who brought you pizza parlors and child molestation), she can now get on with […]
Passports, Unicorns, and Rainbows
January 25, 2021
COVID has, like it has with most others, put a crimp in my style. I spent part of yesterday dusting the line of shoes that sit on a top shelf in my closet, knowing that as soon as I finished, the dust would start collecting again. I’m pretty good about tossing clothes I don’t love […]
Seeing the World Without It Seeing You
January 6, 2020
The world is becoming a smaller place on a daily basis.

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
September 13, 2019
Life in the Boomer Lane is taking a short hiatus from whatever it is that we used to refer to as civilization. In other words, she is leaving Dodge for a couple weeks and travelling to a country in which Trump seriously admires the stronman leader, and describes the people as “”…these people, how nice […]
Helpful Uncoupling
June 25, 2019
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from Maine, where she visited a dear friend, G. She does this on an annual basic, and she and G have developed a system that works for them. This consists of equal parts talking, shopping, eating and getting into trouble. While LBL was visiting, G received a […]
The History of Buckets and Lists
June 17, 2019
Life in the Boomer Lane has a lot of respect for the person who invented the bucket. While open-ended containers with flat bottoms have been around ever since the first humanoid said, “I need something to carry this shit in,” the earliest depictions of buckets are found on carvings dating from around 3200 BC, which […]
