The Secret Lives of Office Workers
August 11, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Thanks to Freshly Pressed, I saw the clever young office worker who quit her job via a series of dry erase notices she sent to fellow worker’s emails. The punch line was that she calculated that her boss spent almost 20 hours a week playing Farmville. Whether that was a hoax or not, it got […]
Why I Don't Ride A Bike
July 21, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
The other day, my Now Husband Dan asked, “You don’t ride a bicycle?” This was an interesting question, since we have known each other since December 2002 and have lived together/been married for the last four years. Apparently, his astute powers of observation are limited to things like “Wow! Look at that squirrel in that […]
Facebook for Boomers
June 25, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Beloved Daughter has asked that Life in the Boomer Lane write a post about boomers on Facebook. LBL isn’t sure how she phrased it, but it might have been “Gee Mommy, since your generation, especially the Class of ’69 of which you were such an integral part, is so much more fascinating than mine could […]
A Flat in Marylebone
June 24, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from visiting Beloved Daughter in London. BD, her husband, and their one year old live in an utterly charming late 1800s second floor flat in Marylebone, a gorgeous neighborhood on the edge of Regent’s Park, filled with trendy shops, fabulous restaurants, and a certain number of Americans […]
Sixty isn't the "New" Anything. Except sixty.
June 3, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I’m venting. I’m seriously so tired of hearing people say things like “Sixty is the new fifty.” Or forty. Or even thirty. This morning, on one of the talk shows, I caught about 30 seconds of the guest going on and on about how sixty-year olds should go mountain climbing and have pajama parties and […]
Funny, you don't look Haplogroup H
June 3, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For those of you with an understanding of science that can fit into a pine nut shell, you are like me. But, thanks to people who possess brain cells that I can only dream of, we now know that all modern humans started in the same exact spot in Africa. Approximately 50,000-60,000 years ago (according […]

High School Reunion 45
May 31, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Last weekend, Life in the Boomer Lane attended her 45th high school reunion. In January, 1965, she graduated from the Philadelphia High School for Girls, a PUBLIC, all girls, college preparatory school, in which 90% of the graduates went on to college. The other 10% must have become either Rachel Ray or Queen Elizabeth. She […]
The Bachelorette gets Lost on American Idol
May 26, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I feel compelled to say something about three pretty darn exciting TV events that have occurred during the past week. If you don’t watch the shows I talk about and don’t care, it doesn’t matter. You have already clicked onto this blog, and I have also just written the word “renumeration” for the first time ever. […]

When Good Technology Happens to Inept People
September 2, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane

LBL’s Now Husband is in Greece and Turkey for a month. Family in Turkey, good friends on Rhodes in Greece. Since NH is, among other things, LBL’s Go To Guy for technology, LBL was a bit apprehensive at the thought of his being gone for so long. LBL knows her track record, and it isn’t pretty. LBL fully prepared […]
