New Proverbs for the New Year
December 26, 2017
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane isn’t a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. It’s too easy to imagine losing 20 lbs as one stuffs oneself at the endless Thanksgiving-to-New Year’s Eatathon. Or to imagine going to the gym every day as one spends the entire month moving from table to couch to bed. Instead, LBL prefers […]
The Brain in Love
December 18, 2017
by Life in the Boomer Lane
The holidays are supposed to be about love: of family, of friends, of Jesus, of materialism, and, this year especially, of one’s love (and utter relief) of 2017 being finally put to bed. For this reason, Life in the Boomer Lane thought she’d take the opportunity to devote this post to love. It’s a win-win: She […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane can’t speak for anyone but herself, but at any given moment, she is having at least a dozen different conversations in her head. These include conversations with herself, with others, with CNN, with presidential Tweets, with the GOP, with the bathroom scale, with cartons of ice cream in the freezer, […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
In an astonishing find to usher in the Christmas holiday season, scholars have found a copy of the original Greek manuscript describing what Jesus secretly taught his brother James.

It Takes A Certain Kind of Brain to Envision A Flat Earth
December 1, 2017
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane, in spite of seriously hating high school and college science classes, has still unflaggingly maintained a deep respect for science, itself. She may not understand gravity, but, as long as she stays attached to the earth, she fervently believes in it. She may not understand aerodynamics but, as long as […]

Thanks to the folks at AARP, who are quoting an article in JAMA Neurology, we now know the states that produce the most people who will eventually succumb to dementia. Lest you believe that Life in the Boomer Lane is referring to those states that produced the highest numbers of voters for Trump, she isn’t. […]

Life in the Boomer Lane is always seeking unique travel experiences. She has had them on all forms of transportation, as well as in airports and train stations. She has gotten her arm stuck in a vending machine, been smacked in the face with a belt buckle, been put into a room with travel felons, […]

Taking a page from Trump’s personal Presidential Manual, Life in the Boomer Lane can think of no better way to start the week than with a bit of shameless self-promotion. So here goes: LBL does not like to occasionally trash Trump. She prefers to do it on a daily basis. To that end, she has […]

The holidays are over and now Life in the Boomer Lane can get back to normal. Her first order of business will be to find out what “normal” is. She hasn’t been successful thus far. The word continues to elude her. Yesterday, she was asked at a walk in clinic what her height and normal […]
