Because it didn’t take a lot of loss in Life in the Boomer Lane’s life to make her understand how precious every days is.  And because each birthday is her best gift to herself. Because LBL is wise enough to know that her children aren’t perfect and wiser still to believe that they really are. Because LBL […]

My technological prowess stops somewhere between the invention of the wheel and that of the cotton gin.  Everything else, I put under one of two categories: It’s magic and I like it. It’s a curse on my existence and I want it to go away.  My enthusiasm for changing anything I have is comparable to […]

One of the bloggers I follow, http://www.VVDenman.com, wrote a lovely piece the other day titled “The Power Behind A Writer’s Desk“ and she included a photo of the desk at which she writes.  I’ve always found it fascinating to see where people write, especial since I began my first novel on the back of sales […]

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 […]

After my cricket post I decided to take a break from writing about any non-humanoids for awhile.  Then my phone rang.  It was a former client:  “I have rats.  What should I do?”  I thought about this for awhile, but rat stew didn’t seem to be the most helpful answer. “Call an exterminator.” I paused.
