Two Ships
February 17, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
There are people who write and who write well. There are people who write, who write well, and who also reach beyond their own words in order to create a sense of community among writers. Deborah Bryan, the author of the blog, The Monster in Your Closet, is such a person. Deborah has an ongoing series titled “For […]
Take my knee. Please.
December 22, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
NBC News yesterday evening came out with a breaking (No pun intended. But I wouldn’t believe that last sentence, if I were you.) story about the upsurge in hip and knee replacements among boomers. Boomers have long felt that they were only as old as they believed themselves to be. For this reason, they consider […]
Life in the Fear-Free Lane
May 17, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I hadn’t intended to start a blog. What I had intended to do was to write articles for women over 50, and to use humor to get my point across. When the opportunity to write for examiner.com, came up, this gave me a framework within which to write. I wrote my pieces, and after awhile, […]
Trump Charges
April 29, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
There are a lot of reasons why I think Donald trump should run for the Republican nomination. I’ll focus on one: He is willing to get to the bottom of things. And he spends a lot of time on the bottom to prove it. In an attempt to get to the truth about what is, according to […]
I’ll Have Two Elf Ears and a Side of Bacon
April 19, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Thanks to AARP, I have been alerted to a new trend in man’s ongoing quest for perfection: elf ears. AARP states that “Body modification artists cut the tops of young people’s ears and sew them back together in a pointed shape.” The segment is titled, “Ah, Youth! Sometimes we don’t miss it.” I don’t […]
why 8 february matters to me
February 8, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
(My daughter and son-in-law have been living in London for the past few years. She writes a blog, www.theyaelchronicles.wordpress.com so that friends and family can keep up with their lives in London and their travels. She is a great writer. This was today’s post.) Three years ago Bryan and I got off a Virgin redeye […]
What I did then. What I wouldn’t do now.
November 15, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Although I had no part of the free sex of the 60s, and only slightly more of the more-than-free-but-still cheap drugs of the era, I look back on some of the things I did back then and wonder how I survived. I hitchhiked with my then best friend from Philly to Trenton, so that […]

From the Desert to the Shtetl
September 10, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
My cousin Linda and I have been chasing our family history off and on for more years than I can remember. Currently, we are “on.” Our tree is filled with people who often had to be invisible in order to survive, and, even in death, they remain elusive in spite of our best efforts […]

The Aging of the High School Reunion
March 10, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
80
Sometimes aging can make us feel like we are naked, smeared with bacon grease and deposited near a den of rabid grizzlies who have just completed a research project involving the effects of a prolonged vegan diet. While it might seem that there is no way out, know this: There is no way out. OK, […]
