Tom Cruise Has Nothing to Do With This
July 20, 2012
An astute friend, who we will call “Ana,” in homage to Speaker7’s series of brilliant takeoffs on the 50 Shades of Grey books, has alerted Life in the Boomer Lane to the imminent resolution of all of our problems. In case you have been fretting about climate change, being upside down on your mortgage, or running out […]
Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Sets Sail Again
July 17, 2012
Susan, immortalized in my many previous Sex and the Sixty Year Old posts, is at it again. The girl just can’t stay away. This time, she is trying a new and improved dating site for folks over age 50. Her primary goal is not to meet men over 50. It is more about her getting […]

Navigating the Bridge to Nowhere
July 16, 2012
The aging brain is like a GPS. You know where you are headed, and your brain appears to be perfectly capable of sending you there. But you notice with increasing frequency that you are told to make a right turn, then, when you do, to make a U-turn. You may ultimately get where you want […]

Home Sweet HOME
July 8, 2012
Medieval peasant homes were simple wooden huts, usually consisting of one room. All other rooms were technically known as “outside.” Slightly-better-off peasants lived in huts with two rooms. There were no panes of glass in the windows, no chimney, no chairs. Peasants slept on straw and they did not have pillows. Instead they rested their […]
