A Wet Farewell to Turkey
Life in the Boomer Lane has been wrestling about what should be the blog focus of her just-completed trip to Turkey. There were two top contenders. One was the astonishing beauty of the terrian, filled with sites of deep antiquity. The other is her new-found knowledge that, when one uses a bidet, then stands up […]
LBL Is Off
September 13, 2019
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane is taking a short hiatus from whatever it is that we used to refer to as civilization. In other words, she is leaving Dodge for a couple weeks and travelling to a country in which Trump seriously admires the stronman leader, and describes the people as “”…these people, how nice […]
Sharpiegate
September 9, 2019
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has been unable to arrive at a conclusion regarding the latest antics of our duly-elected malaka-in-charge. Did the Sharpie fiasco visibly demostrate the effects of his creeping dementia or a blatant willingness to bend reality into his own image? Was it evidence that he is the Devil incarnate or, as […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane is a huge fan of words. She is also a huge fan of friends. For that reason, it’s not surprising that she recently discovered the online game, “Words With Friends.” It’s sort of like a fast and loose version of Scrabble, in which no one can see how you came […]

Because the world is always changing, at least those parts which have not been consumed by fire, flood, excessive heat, or the actions that obliterate mountains and the Amazon, Life in the Boomer Lane has noted one recent change. Politicians are required to swear in before taking office. But what they choose to swear in […]
Losing Stuff
August 19, 2019
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has a long history of losing stuff. She has written about this, talked to friends about this, and ruminated about this with herself, usually between the hours of 1 and 4 AM. In spite of it all, she continues to lose stuff. She understands that. What she doesn’t understand is […]

As the world spins ever faster toward oblivion, with seemingly no rests stops along the way, two reasearchers from the University of Alberta have spent a lot of time analyzing exactly what the funniest English words are and why they are funny.
