A Trip to the Farmers Market
September 19, 2010
I have three high school friends (Susan, Judy, Phyllis) driving down from Philly to visit me this weekend. In honor of the occasion, I decided to make a trip to the local farmers market, to bask in the whole touchy-feeliness of all that fresh, organic produce and homemade baked goods. That way, my friends could avail […]
Your Very Own Virtual Dating Assistant
September 15, 2010
This month’s Marie Claire magazine informed Life in the Boomer Lane that successful professional women are paying ghost writers to communicate for them on dating sites like Match.com. Women who do this “tend to work a lot and do nice things for themselves. They go to the spa. They pay people to clean their house and […]
Trading Spaces
September 14, 2010
My good friend Jean is in love with Prague (as in The Czech Republic). She wanted to go for an extended visit of one month and had a brilliant idea how to get free housing. She registered her home in Florida on a site called “I’ll Live In Your House and You Can Live in […]
Wretched Technology Update
September 13, 2010
Well, here we are, happily sailing through the 21st century and I am still doing battle with post-Industrial Revolution technology. I wrote a post about this in reference to my husband going out of town and leaving me at the mercy of three remotes and other assorted bits and pieces of technology, all waiting for […]

September 9, 2010
When Life in the Boomer Lane wrote the post about Miracle the Cat (“Cats Flying off the Roof of My Car”), LBL was reminded that LBL has a long history of things in general flying off the roof of her car. For the five people who have already read LBL’s post about Miracle, you are probably now […]
When Good Technology Happens to Inept People
September 2, 2010
LBL’s Now Husband is in Greece and Turkey for a month. Family in Turkey, good friends on Rhodes in Greece. Since NH is, among other things, LBL’s Go To Guy for technology, LBL was a bit apprehensive at the thought of his being gone for so long. LBL knows her track record, and it isn’t pretty. LBL fully prepared […]
What’s in your trunk?
September 1, 2010
There was a short segment on NPR the other day, in which people were asked, “What’s in your trunk?” Of course, some of the answers were very funny. But as Life in the Boomer Lane was listening, she realized that she had no idea what was in her trunk. LBL only knew that being married […]

There’s Nothing Funny About Carpeting
August 31, 2010
LBL’s real estate manager suggested yesterday that LBL should write about the wall-to-wall carpeting currently being installed in the office. Wall-to-wall carpeting? Instead, how about LBL writing about flossing? Or socks? Or grocery coupons? Any of those topics would be more compelling than wall-to-wall carpeting. To make matters worse, the carpeting isn’t all that attractive, so LBL […]
