Go to Craft Fairs or Become A Lesbian
August 4, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Elisabeth Hasselbeck thinks a lot of older lesbians would have turned out straight if they could only land a man. The co-host of “The View” said older women who have led heterosexual lives are choosing same-sex partners because men their age are chasing younger women. “All the older men are going for younger women, leaving […]
On Safari in My Vegetable Garden
August 3, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I have never had any interest in planting anything in the ground, tending it, watching it grow, and then eating it. I assumed I was genetically unable to do so because for many generations in Eastern Europe, my family wasn’t permitted to own land, and so the farming genes were sort of erased. But I’ve […]
The Girl Who Strayed With Buyers
August 2, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
If you’ve been in the real estate business as long as I have, you’ve probably accumulated a lot of fun experiences that, in retrospect, could have been used successfully in POW camps. I’ve locked myself out of houses, and once, another agent and I had to climb in through a high window to get in. […]

Life in the Boomer Lane and her friend Susan, in a never-ending quest for adventure totally beneath the maturity level that they should aspire to, found a new, humongous “store” to go to in the DC area.

Goodnight Sweetheart, Whoever You Are
July 19, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Now Husband had a high school reunion yesterday. He is always having high school reunions, because he went to four high schools. Three were in Europe. One was in Morocco. So, in addition to the four reunions in the actual locations of the schools, there are four US-based reunions each year. This provides him with […]
Just Beat Me With A Banana
July 16, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Stop the presses. Ok, what Life n the Boomer Lane mean is if there were presses, she would stop them. She’s on a rant. CNN just came out with a story titled “Study: Body Shape Affects Memory in Older Women/Memory Loss More Pronounced in Women Who Carry Excess Weight Around Their Hips, A Study Says.” […]

Twice a week, Life in the Boomer Lane takes a Pilates Reformer class at her gym. The “Reformer” is a big, lightly padded board on wheels, with levers, pulleys, weights, and other components, all employed without the benefit of a user’s manual. It was either invented by Mr Pilates, the same person who invented people […]
Selling Off My Children’s Futures
July 10, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Many people fondly remember the warm and fuzzy events of their childhoods: the sight of presents under the Christmas tree, a trip to the zoo or to the beach or to the amusement park, the taste of a favorite food that only Mom could cook so well. My children, on the other hand, remember things […]
