Medicare, the federal system of health care for folks over age 65, comes at a really bad time in our lives, since at the exact moment it arrives, all available brain cells are either busy looking for car keys, permanently asleep on the job, or wondering if we have just baked the cooking shears into […]

November 22, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It’s taken over 200 years, but the Brits have finally figured out a way to ruin our Thanksgiving festivities.

You Can’t Be 100 Without Being 99 First
November 17, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Apparently, while most of us are spending our time asking “Did he actually just say that?” in reference to Herman Cain, other members of the US population are more goal-oriented: They are turning 100.

Yo Mama-in-Law
November 9, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
There are two categories of people who have been maligned over the years, IRS agents and mothers-in-law. This post will not add to the well-deserved mountain of cow dung heaped on the IRS.

The Sunday before last, I was invited to speak to a group of women in Hemet, CA. I speak to a lot of women, and I speak mostly about life after 50. My co-authors and I like to say that we are here to change the conversation about women over 50. We’re pretty passionate about […]
