by Life in the Boomer Lane
I haven’t written about the Russian invasion of, and subsequent atrocities in, Ukraine. There is entirely too much out there, written by folks who are way more knowledgeable and way better writers than I. And I didn’t want to say anything that would have been said before. But now I am. My mother was born […]

Many of us occasionally muse about which celeb we would like to have dinner with. Life in the Boomer Lane used to think a lot about having a pajama party with Oprah. Oprah would certainly wear cute pjs, and she does love snacks. She would also have a lot of inside dope about other celebs. […]
