How the Boomers Changed Sex
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
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.

August 26, 2014
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: Weighing In
July 25, 2014
Children may grow up and leave. Husbands, jobs, finances may come and go. Residences, hair color, and bra size may change. Sometimes it seems that, for many of us, the only constant in our lives is the desire to lose weight. What is it about weight that has so many women in turmoil? We blame […]
Ointments, Salves, Lotions and Other Mysteries of Life
July 21, 2014
A friend of Life in the Boomer Lane, another woman-of-a-certain-age, was out of town, staying in a hotel, and preparing to meet her first ex-husband for lunch. In spite of the fact that there would be no interest on either of their parts for hanky panky (the vintage way of saying “sex,” not the […]
Guerrilla Aging: My Kilimanjaro, And Yours
July 18, 2014
Amanda Royce-Hale, known to her readers as Wiseacre Way, chose that name because “I’m a bit of a wiseacre, I seek wisdom, I love acreage, I’m on my way somewhere, and I just like the sound of the words.” Amanda has been given all the stuff of a great life: a close family, long loving […]
