Musings of a former hula hoop champion
Bennu and You
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
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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 […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
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
by Life in the Boomer Lane
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! […]
Vegas: The Jerusalem of Nevada
April 17, 2023
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Back in 2021, Life in the Boomer Lane came up with the idea of celebrating her oldest grandchild’s Bar Mitzvah, due to take place in 2022, by taking him to Israel. One thing led to another, and, after a very short time, 15 people were signed on to the trip: LBL, Now Husband, three children, […]
Who Are You and Who Are We Together?
April 4, 2023
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Some people take their childhoods and use them to define their view of the world. Others take their experiences and use them as tools to create powerful lives that their childhoods could never have envisioned. Lori Brewer Collins is a tool user. Lori’s vision of the world and her place in it is far more […]

March 20, 2023
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane goes through periods of time when, if someone were to ask her what she dreamt about the previous night, her answer would be “Huh?” At other times, her dreams accompany her throughout her day. It is then that she wonders why that man she knew many years ago, who she […]

The Human Library
March 13, 2023
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Instagram is Life in the Boomer Lane’s social media platform of choice. Lots of photos/videos, few words (unless necessary), and, for LBL, the ability to follow the work of whomever artists she chooses. But, at the risk of getting carried away with culture, here. LBL will say that she also follows her favorite fashion brands […]
