Guerrilla Aging: Friendship
October 3, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane was just visited for a couple days from two long time friends. Judy, since 9th grade. Susan, since 5th. The years of our lives have been filled with whatever fills years. We marvel each time we are together that we pick up exactly where we left off. We […]
Older, Faster, Tougher
September 16, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
This morning, Life in the Boomer Lane was momentarily distracted from the disturbing realization that she was out of unsweetened soy milk, by a loud banging on the front door. Coffee cup in hand, she came to the door to see her sweaty, panting across-the-street neighbor standing on her front porch. The neighbor, who […]
Guerrilla Aging: Memories Lost and Found
September 12, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
If we are an accumulation of all of our memories, then many of us are in serious trouble. Memories, like socks, often appear and disappear in random fashion. Sometimes, their appearance, like the errant sock, makes a match, and we once again capture a complete memory. More often than not, the lone memory, like […]
How the Boomers Changed Sex
September 10, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
An apology to loyal readers of this blog and to those who arrived here because they will read anything with the word “sex” or “lubrication” in it. The following is not a boomer version of the Kama Sutra. Reading this will not allow you to cavort between the sheets as though it were 1976 […]
The Answers Issue
September 2, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Time Magazine has done the impossible. Their current issue, titled The Answers Issue, has hit the newsstands. Not only does Time tackle the big questions, the ones we didn’t think had answers, it goes well beyond that. It answers questions we didn’t even know we had and questions we should be asking but aren’t. […]
Reclaiming Your Sex Drive During Menopause, a guest post by Marie Goldberg
August 26, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
While menopause has come out of the closet, the loss of sex drive experienced by menopausal and post-menopausal hasn’t. We still tend to gloss over such loss or to bury it under articles that scream “How to Have the BEST SEX EVER After Age 50!” But “best” sex, or even “good” sex, let […]
Guerrilla Aging: Loss
August 15, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
The inevitable consequence of aging is that our losses multiply. Death is the loss many of us will think of first. Most of the people who defined our world in childhood will leave that world. Many of the friends we have accumulated along the way will be lost. Some losses, like divorce, may be […]
Guerrilla Aging: Is There Life After Retirement?
August 8, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
There is almost as much written about retirement as there is about menopause. Before we start packing in order to head for the “best places to retire,” we get to wrap our heads around retirement in general. The following is a guest post by Deborah Drucker, the author of the new blog, Notes Tied on […]

Guerrilla Aging: Should Life End at 75?
October 10, 2014 by Life in the Boomer Lane
60
Life in the Boomer Lane’s last post concerned death. This one does, as well. Lest you think LBL has changed her blog to Death in the Boomer Lane, let her assure you this isn’t the case. After today’s post, LBL will return once again to less weighty issues, in which she can incorporate satire, immaturity, […]
