The Link Between Age Compatibility and Relationship Success
December 25, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane has written numerous brilliant, profound, and downright side-splitting posts. But no matter how many seriously valuable topics she attempts to cover, from cats who want to kill you to big butts, there are three topics that remain permanently on her Biggest Hits List. They are: 1. The Universal Hot/Crazy Matrix: A […]
Men Are Idiots Who Do Stupid Things
December 22, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane took out a few moments from writing to Kim Jung Un to ask him to please send her a list of acceptable films to see over the holidays, in order to read some research that an alert reader sent to her. A note to male readers of this blog. The following is, […]
Time Magazine’s Person of the Year
December 18, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane took a break from reading accusations that Barack Obama is a Muslim Communist, in order to review the past year. Many people would agree that 2014 can’t end soon enough. It has seemed, at times, that we have all been on a long downhill slide, greased by the hijacking […]

Being Hanukkah in a Christmas World
December 14, 2014
(I’ve written several posts over the years, about being Jewish at Christmastime. I’ve just about covered all angles and decided to give myself a break this year. I’m re-posting an old piece. If you’ve seen it already, fee free to do something more worthwhile, like standing in an endless line at the post office or […]

I’ll Trade You My VISA Card and Driver’s License for Some Small Plastic Containers
December 13, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane’s annual holiday shopping, in addition to items that can be purchased online, always seems to include items that can only be purchased by making the rounds of little stores that one would never think of to frequent for any reason whatsoever. This year, the hunt was on for small plastic […]
Bitch Planet
December 10, 2014
Vox Magazine had an interesting article about a new feminist comic book titled “Bitch Planet.” This comic has deep and meaningful ramifications for society’s often misguided and misogynistic culture. But, since Life in the Boomer Lane stopped caring about comics once she got too old for Betty and Veronica, she doesn’t care about this. On […]
James Bond Beds A 50-Year-Old Woman. Applause, please.
December 8, 2014
For those of you who have been living inside a broken pay phone booth since 1962, you may not have been aware that James Bond likes his women plentiful, available, and pretty darn nubile. The average age of the men who have played Bond over the last 200 years, has been 43.5. The average age […]
An Open Letter to Elizabeth Lauten
December 1, 2014
Dear Elizabeth, I’ve just read your Facebook letter to Sasha and Malia Obama, followed by your apology. First off, I am impressed that the Communications Director for a Congressman would take time out from her busy and important schedule to address herself to the sartorial appearance of the Nation’s First Daughters. I immediately checked your […]

Surprising Things I Am Grateful For
November 25, 2014
I am grateful for illegal aliens. My parents were born in Eastern Europe and each came here illegally. To this day I get chills when I hear or sing the Star Spangled Banner. On occasion, I am brought to tears. I thank the universe that my grandparents did what had to be done so that […]

Looking Back and Looking Forward
December 27, 2014

In order to celebrate the start of a new year, the January 2015 issue of National Geographic is chock-full of “firsts” throughout the history of the world. NatGeo starts with the Earliest Ideas. The very first was fire. Fire was great for about a million years. Now we only use it when we go camping […]
