Just Do Something, Part 1
Life in the Boomer Lane suspects that many of us now feel like we are in the woods, in the dark, with no flashlight, listening to ominous noises that are coming ever closer. We need something to make us feel like we are not merely helpless prey. One suggestion is to use our purchasing power […]

Electing What to do Now
November 12, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
A lot of Life in the Boomer Lane’s friends have declared a break from all things political: The constant stream of 24/7 news in their homes has been silenced. Political conversation has stopped. All reference to our newly-elected Nero-in-Chief has ceased. Anger and depression reign, taking up residence with that part of their souls that […]
The Day After
November 6, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
We have created a world in which the warped idea of something becomes more powerful than the reality. We are told that illegal immigrants are the devil, that certain politicians and certain media are wicked and deserve punishment for merely disagreeing, that violent videoed acts were actually patriotic, that the economy is in failure, that […]

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
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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. Not all of you believe that raking your leaves or dampening the forest […]

All-You-Can-Eat Politics
September 7, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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. The manager stops him and points to the “All You Can Eat Sign.” The man, perplexed, says “But that’s what the sign says. All you can eat.” […]

Politics on the Run
August 28, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane was in the airport last week and decided to get a bag of popcorn for her flight (Indiana, with sea salt). The airport store she saw was run by Amazon. LBL hoped that meant that she could pay for the popcorn and Amazon would deliver it to her seat after […]

Of Foyers and Fading Out
August 17, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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 […]
