How to Get Old Before You Die
My introduction to being an old person occurred one day when I pulled out of a parking lot and positioned myself next to a mobile pet grooming van that was stopped at the light. The driver of the van interpreted my action as cutting in line. She rolled down her window and started screaming every […]
Of Foyers and Fading Out
August 17, 2024 by Life in the Boomer Lane
In a sea of seriously disturbing news items (Kamala being called “Hitler and Stalin combined but times 200,”) and the contents of the public bonding debacle between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, LBL has been especially shocked at the following two items: the imminent demise of the foyer and the fact that aging is now […]
The Race to Cure Aging
January 5, 2023 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane occasionally ignores XWAP’s (Ex and Wanna Be Again POTUS) inane and dangerous entries onto Truth Social, the never-ending votes going nowhere in an attempt to find a new Speaker of the House, and reading about the 435th sub-variant of Covid, to notice that she is aging. Like you, she doesn’t […]
Doing 75 in a 40 MPH Zone
May 5, 2022 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It’s taken me 75 years to get to write this post. I’ve mentally crossed out a lot and reworded a lot during those 75 years. I’ve been surprised, even shocked, at some of what I’ve “written.” “I never would have done anything like that,” I’ve thought on more than one occasion, except of course I […]

Aging Not Gracefully
February 24, 2020 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane and Now Husband were each having back issues when they cooked. Luckily for LBL, she cooks as little as possible. But she does create large Passover and Hanukkah extravaganzes requiring a lot of hours on her feet. She pays the price with miserable back spasms. Now Husband cooks on a […]
OK, Boomer
February 14, 2020 by Life in the Boomer Lane
A professor at the University of Oklahoma provoked outrage by saying the phrase “OK, boomer” was like saying the N-word. He later apologized to students. This event has been getting a lot of press lately, ecllipsing even the the two most significant, ongoing, high-profile meltdowns the world is currently facing: the Antartic ice shelf and […]
Faster, Tougher, Stronger. And Older.
August 12, 2019 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has been spending a lot of time lately, trying to avoid listening to the Forces of Evil that keep knocking at her door. Climate Change appears to be the most insistant, followed by Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Hatred Against Other Races/Religions/Nationalities/Sexual Orintations/Political Parties, and the IRS (Readers Note: This last […]
