Musings of a former hula hoop champion
Politics on the Run
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!

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

by Life in the Boomer Lane
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 Director Of Retribution

by Life in the Boomer Lane
Back in 2017, Ivan Raiklin, a former Green Beret and then currently serving active duty in the National Guard, ran 1776 miles across Virginia to bring awareness to the issue of veteran suicide. He also ran to see if he could get enough money to make a run for the US Senate. He did this […]

The Presidential Debate 2024
June 26, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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 […]

I’m Christian and You’re Wrong

The Children’s Crusade and lobster pee both fall into the general category of inexplicable things. Life in the Boomer Lane can’t speak much about lobster pee (except to note that lobsters pee out of their faces), but she can speak a bit about the Children’s Crusade, as a metaphor for our current political climate. The […]
Aging Safety Denied
May 24, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has been entirely too preoccupied with the daily Amazon truck arrival to notice much else going on around her. Then just a couple days ago, she saw something that catapulted her into action. It was a photo of the Trump master bathroom at Mar-a-Lago, showing an entire shitload of stacked […]
Eric Swalwell
March 4, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Way back on July 8, 2022, in that innocent time before Kevin McCarthy truly understood the phrase “eating their young,” Life in the Boomer Lane missed an important headline from the Washington Examiner, “Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is Unfit for Congress and Owes Lauren Boebert An Apology.” Had she been astute enough to see this headline, […]

It’s Only A Number Take 2
February 21, 2024
by Life in the Boomer Lane
October 2023 was an innocent time in America. A surprised Kevin McCarthy was booted from his job as Speaker of the House, and Jim Jordan, believing he would do much better, was elated to get the nomination. That same month, People Magazine reported that, while Taylor Swift and Kelce sure seemed like an item, an […]
