Musings of a former hula hoop champion
Thanks for the Memories
Life in the Boomer Lane’s Now Husband has spent most of his life accumulating and retaining information. He is a walking compendium of all known knowledge of the universe. Had the Great Library of Alexandria, Egypt been around during his time, it wouldn’t have mattered if it then met its untimely demise due to Julius […]
An Elegy for Reasoning
September 26, 2024
JD Vance, among an astonishing number of spewings that could keep clown cars fueled for the foreseeable future, said something of incredible value the other day. Or at least of incredible value to Life in the Boomer Lane. With that caveat, she will continue. When challenged by CNN’s Dana Bash about his repeated declaration of […]

A Love Letter to the GOP
September 10, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane is thinking that not all of you actually believe that immigrants are eating your pets. Not all of you believe that incarcerating all folks who sent contributions to the Democratic nominee for President is a good idea.

All-You-Can-Eat Politics
September 7, 2024
There’s an old joke that a man goes to an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, loads his plate, goes to his table and eats everything, then comes back for more.

Of Foyers and Fading Out
August 17, 2024
In a sea of seriously disturbing news items (Kamala being called “Hitler and Stalin combined but times 200,”) and the contents of the public bonding debacle between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, LBL has been especially shocked at the following two items: the imminent demise of the foyer and the fact that aging is now […]
Oh, Reality!
August 6, 2024
For most of Life in the Boomer Lane’s actual life, people have asked her how she comes up with the things that come out of her mouth. She answers that she does nothing special. Life comes at her and her brain, in effect a well-worn Cuisinart-type thing, just puts items together in various ways and […]

Wisdom Gained in K Thru 2
July 18, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane has been thinking a lot, lately, about Cowboys and Indians. She has visual evidence of how important Cowboys were in her early life when she looks at her second grade school photo. Virtually every boy was wearing a plaid shirt or a solid color shirt with fringe or embroidery, that […]

The Presidential Debate 2024
June 26, 2024
While, technically, the history of presidential debates began in 1960, debates in general started well before that. The first debates were, indeed, public, since everything humans did, including pooping and copulation, was public. And yes, there was usually a topic at hand (fighting over food or women or accusing someone of pushing them into a […]
