Joe, Donald here. I’m a little bit upset. And, as you know, no one can get as little bit upset as I can. It’s really extraordinary, when you think about it. I know, Donald. Can you get to the point? That Kahn person, who lost his son in Afghanistan, spoke at the Dem’s convention and […]
An Open Letter to Ivanka Trump
July 22, 2016
Dear Ivanka, Few would argue that you are a poised, articulate, capable young woman. You have lived a life of privilege, without coming to the conclusion that this makes you entitled. I applaud you.

Life in the Boomer Lane spends a lot of time reading about apps that boomers need. While she agrees that some of these might be quite useful in certain circumstances, she has yet to find apps that she would consider indispensible. She is forced, therefore, to create her own and present them to […]
The Panties, the Plastic, and the Pico de Gallo
May 25, 2016
For the last couple days, Life in the Boomer Lane’s carton-infested attic has been occupied not with a contractor, but with a house guest.

May 23, 2016
At some point in the recent past, Life in the Boomer Lane noticed that she had written an alarming number of posts, since starting her blog in 2010. Several of these were seriously worth reading. Most were marginally worth reading. All were read by at least somebody. The realization was pretty overwhelming. She decided […]

May 18, 2016
Unless you have been living in Life in the Boomer Lane’s old, non-functioning washing machine that she stores in the basement because the stairs are too tight to be able to remove it, you are probably aware that TSA lines at airports have exceeded lines to get into a free Beyoncé concert.
