Balk Like An Egyptian
Archaeologists in Egypt say they have discovered a 4,400-year-old tomb near the pyramids outside Cairo.

In addition to being a high-ranking official, Heptet was also a priestess. […]
Taking the High Road
February 26, 2018
Life in the Boomer Lane no longer has any need to remember all of the fabulous, fun-filled adventures that she and Now Husband have partaken of. When he starts a sentence with “Remember when we went to…?” she cuts him off with the same question: “Did I have a good time?” All she is looking […]

For those people who have been living in a pistachio nut shell for the last year, Life in the Boomer Lane will tell you that the politicization of every single aspect of American Life has been quite successful.

The Misstate of the Union
January 31, 2018
The President of the United States gave his State of the Union address last night. The GOP sobbed with gratitude, awe, and undying love and respect for their Commander-in-Chief. “He’s the best!” “He’s The Man!” “He is a gift from God!” were reactions heard over and over.

Ordering A Meal in A Brave New World
January 20, 2018
Life in the Boomer Lane’s travel experiences have involved being felled by belt buckles, vending machines and assorted TSA agents.

Alexa is Listening
January 8, 2018
Life in the Boomer Lane, in a desperate attempt to be allowed entry into Twenty-First Century Life, requested Amazon Echo (Alexa) for Hanukkah. Precious Only Daughter provided.

For this reason, Life in the Boomer Lane thought she’d take the opportunity to devote this post to love. It’s a win-win: She […]
