Musings of a former hula hoop champion
The Etiquette of Threesomes
Life in the Boomer Lane has been vainly searching for anything to write about that has nothing to do with the Nazification of Trump, the downfall of American Democracy, the End of the World in General, or the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance. She hit paydirt with today’s post from her most favorite political commentator, Heather […]

A Welcome
November 13, 2023
Several evenings ago, I attended a “Welcome to the Neighborhood” gathering for new residents. This was a bit different than what one might expect. The particular couple being welcomed were educated, financially successful professionals with three children, forced to flee from one African country to another, only to find out that the second country was […]

My Life is A Lie
November 8, 2023
Sometimes, it takes a relatively minor event to bring to the surface a profound disconnect between one’s supposed “truth” and reality of that truth disappearing. Buying an airfare ticket from American Airlines yesterday did so for Life in the Boomer Lane. It started predictably enough. LBL was in posession of an alleged $233 credit from […]
Catching Up
November 2, 2023
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a whirlwind tour of Morocco. For those of you who are shrieking “Morocco!?! isn’t that a Muslim country!? Oh my Capital-G-God, were you safe?! Look at what happened in israel!!! and lots of other assorted inane pronouncements, LBL is here to tell you the following: 2. […]
Bennu and You
September 25, 2023
It has just been announced that Bennu, characterized as a “near-earth” object, is due to collide with Earth in 2182. Life in the Boomer Lane should explain, at this point, that the designation of Bennu being a “near-earth” object is not the same as the current gang of GOP henchmen being described as as “near-human.” […]

Lauren Boerbert, Theater Critic
September 18, 2023
Lauren Boebert, duly-elected GOP CongressHumanoid from the 3rd District of Colorado, is no slouch when it comes to culture. Boebert attended Rifle High School (Life in the Boomer Lane is not making this up), but dropped out in 2024 when she became pregnant. Before her run for Congress, she prepared herself for public office by […]

A Brief Catch Up on the State of the Planet
September 15, 2023
The Wascally Wabbits of the US Political UnderWorld are in a serious competition with whatever causes our current hellacious weather patterns (climate change/gun control/a pissed off god/simple bad luck/Hunter Biden) to end the world as expediciously as possible. Even Vlad and Kim took time out from planning their next Big Bro Pajama Party to to […]
The Mermaid Parade
June 19, 2023
The Coney Island Mermaid Parade began in 1983, viewed by (according to one slightly inebriated Coney Island native, standing behind Life in the Boomer Lane) four people. Today, 40 years later, it is the largest art parade in the country, attended each year by countless thousands of people. LBL, Only Daughter, and six-year-old grandson were […]

Time to Go Down the Basement
May 26, 2023
Decades ago, Life in the Boomer Lane was introduced to the concept of “things are not always as they appear to be” by Then Husband the Economist, who always declared that everything in life came down to economics. It was a new way of looking at events and pretty much covered all bases except for […]

Firing on All Cylinders
May 1, 2023
For the last couple weeks, every single time Life in the Boomer Lane starts to write a blog post, something crashes through her currently-firing brain cells that seriously diverts her attention. It’s like a fireball of headlines all barreling toward her at once. DeSantis Fires His Wrath Upon Disney World! Tucker Carlson Fired From Fox! […]
