The Room You Never Want to Go Into
December 5, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane seriously hates beating dead horses. And she doesn’t know why anyone would want to do that anyway, but apparently there must have been a time in the past when people actually did beat dead horses, or the phrase never would have come into existence. Did they do it or fun on […]
Christmas in London: Santa is booked, but an elf might be available.
December 4, 2010
As a Jewish American, I feel uniquely qualified to pass judgment on how the Brits celebrate their Christmas season. All the same trappings are there: the trees, the lights, the shopping mania, the bleary-eyed pseudo-Santas roaming the streets. But I am here to observe some of the differences.

The Lady Gaga Guide to Airport Security
November 12, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is about to leave for London. Again. Because her three kids all live at a distance (three different distances, to be precise), LBL now does a fair amount of traveling. And, because LBL has enough metal in her body to build a washer/dryer, Airport Security is always a blast (Whoops, wrong […]
Trading Spaces
September 14, 2010
My good friend Jean is in love with Prague (as in The Czech Republic). She wanted to go for an extended visit of one month and had a brilliant idea how to get free housing. She registered her home in Florida on a site called “I’ll Live In Your House and You Can Live in […]

Overheard en route from Denver to DC: He: a 22 year old Jamaican She: a 28 year old native of Washington State She: Where are you from? He: Jamaica. She: Oh my god, Jamaica! That’s fabulous! I love that! So, uh, what do you speak there? He: It’s called Creole. But we speak English. She: So, […]

Life in the Boomer Lane 
Fullness
March 16, 2011

Tomorrow morning, I’ll board a plane for London to see my daughter and my grandson. I’ve been there many times, now. This trip, like all others will have its own unique character. The word “fullness” comes to mind when I think of this trip. My daughter: The fullness of belly, of breasts. Incubating her next […]
