Musings of a former hula hoop champion
Saving the Planet, Episode One
Back in 1953, the Cut and Shoot, Texas Travelling Circus broke all records for the number of clowns (46) stuffed into a clown car. That record has been shatterd in the last couple days by the number of executive orders now stuffed into our collective brains by the Now and Forever First Ever True Leader […]
Inauspicious Inauguration
January 17, 2025
by Life in the Boomer Lane
While Life in the Boomer Lane was writing a blog post she intended to unveil on Monday that had nothing to do with DJT, a headline galloped across her screen informing her that, because of extreme cold, the upcoming inauguration would be held indoors. Wow, she said to herself, way cool. (Huge pun here, right?). […]

The Acne of Our Times
January 10, 2025
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has always prided herself on being able to derive humor from the ordinary events of life, as well as the fearsome antics of those we elect to public office. But, like a small, warm spot on one’s cheek, that eventually turns into a raging pustule, the events that began in […]
Just Do Something, Part 1
November 18, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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

by Life in the Boomer Lane
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.” […]
