What brings you here today? I’m doubting myself. I’m supposed to be a Big Deal Pandemic. I did everything right. I came at a time when people were always travelling all over the planet. I snuck in easily from another country and took everyone by surprise. I kept changing, so everyone kept getting confused. I […]
Death and Other Avoidable Things
January 5, 2022
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Unlike taxes, the GOP, racial injustice and idiotic comments on neighborhood listservs, Death does appear to have a cure. Well, not actually a cure, but a possible delay. Death procrastinators can take heart that wills, farewells and the honoring of IOUs may be able to be put off indefinitely, if we play our cards right. […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has been getting used to her hair not only falling out, but flying across rooms and nestling in surprising places.
