The Vegetable Garden Pt1
May 27, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has never had any interest in planting anything in the ground, tending it, watching it grow, and then eating it. She assumed that she was genetically unable to do so, because, for many generations in Eastern Europe, her family wasn’t permitted to own land, and so the “farming genes” were […]
The Bachelorette gets Lost on American Idol
May 26, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I feel compelled to say something about three pretty darn exciting TV events that have occurred during the past week. If you don’t watch the shows I talk about and don’t care, it doesn’t matter. You have already clicked onto this blog, and I have also just written the word “renumeration” for the first time ever. […]
Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt4
May 25, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
When Susan arranges her first meetings with men, she is sometimes a bit too intentional about making sure she meets the right person. This is because she once went to the infamous bagel place and immediately saw a good looking man sitting at one of the tables. As he fit the description of who she was […]
Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt2
May 23, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For those skeptics who might be thinking that my friend Susan’s poor results are because she hasn’t put enough of an effort into online dating, rest assured that she has been on most internet dating sites since the very first one (CaveMatch.com). She has only excluded the ones that will result in the FBI confiscating […]
Gardening 101 (Part 1)
May 18, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It’s that Scary Time again: time to be thinking about how Life in the Boomer Lane should be thinking about a vegetable garden. Or about Planting Something. In fact, Anything. This is when she gets totally stuck. Events are happening quickly. A few days ago, LBL went to a client’s house to get a contract […]
Man vs Cat
May 17, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Now Husband has a long history with pets. This involves not having had any. Life in the Boomer Lane can totally understand that. NH grew up in various places where animals were just part of the landscape. If he felt like interacting with an animal, there were always a lot of goats around. In addition, […]
Sex, More or Less
May 16, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
AARP just came out with a 105-page sex survey of people 45 and older. The report is titled, “Sex, Romance, and Relationships: AARP Survey of Midlife and Older Adults.” The Washington Post has kindly reduced the 105 pages to a very short article. This is really handy, since, unless 100 of the 105 pages of […]
Keeping Up With Anything (even the Kardashians)
May 16, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I had lunch today with my good friend Ellen. Ellen, like some People of a Certain Age, is slightly behind the curve on pop culture and pop technology. I sort of suspected this when she commented on one of my recent columns by asking, “Who is Heidi Montag?” The truth is, Heidi stars in a […]

Cornering the Market on Craigs List Dryers
May 28, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane

Life in the Boomer Lane didn’t expect to be writing another post about another Craigs List dryer. But Now Husband can’t seem to stop buying dryers on Craigs List. He bought the last one a couple months ago from some people who sell appliances that other people have left in storage and never claimed. It cost […]
