HEBBS: You Know Who You Are
March 31, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Be warned that there’s a new acronym on the street: HEBBS. This is not to be confused with Donald Hebbs (a Canadian psychologist), Bobby Hebbs (singer and songwriter of the hit song “Sunny”) or Hebb’s Auto Service in Halifax, NS. HEBBS, High-Earning Baby Boomers, are defined as Baby Boomers who live in households that have […]
Putting the Shades of Grey Trilogy to Bed
March 26, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
The following is the third and final installment of my posts (Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades of Bondage) on the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. I’ve been presented with a difficult conundrum. This differs from an easy conundrum in that it is harder. Here it is: How does one continue to speak about a […]
Thrust into London for Deep and Penetrating Research
March 13, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Three people have now expressed their desire to have me continue with my posts on the Fifty Shades of Grey books. In my literary universe, this constitutes a veritable groundswell, and I’m up to the challenge. The third installment in the series, in which Christian and Ana test the ease, efficiency, and calorie count of […]
The Aging of the High School Reunion
March 10, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Sometimes aging can make us feel like we are naked, smeared with bacon grease and deposited near a den of rabid grizzlies who have just completed a research project involving the effects of a prolonged vegan diet. While it might seem that there is no way out, know this: There is no way out. OK, […]
Fifty Shades of Bondage
March 6, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Ask any woman what she wants in a partner and she will say “Trust. Caring. Communication.” But the success of Fifty Shades of Grey has shown otherwise. What we all want is to be ravished from behind, while wearing a blindfold and doggy collar. In Part One, I introduced the book, Fifty Shades of Grey. […]
Fifty Shades of Grey
March 3, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Betty of Heifer 12X12, has alerted me to a book touted on the Today Show and across the planet, 50 Shades of Grey. I knew it had something to do with eroticism and SM, so I intended to do some deep research before writing this post. But, like the team on Fox News, I believe […]
Older Men, Younger Women: Fact or Unicorn?
February 28, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Way back in time, before most people had ever heard of Harold Camping or Denny’s Maple Bacon Sundae, I wrote a post titled “The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women.” I didn’t intend it to be a tired diatribe of how men over a certain age want young babes. What surprised me was not […]

Now that the Academy Awards have ended, and I can surgically suction my eyeballs from the TV screen, you’d think my life would be exceptionally quiet, reverting back to the highlight of each week being trash/recycling night. Not so. A second event will be bringing Hollywood right into my family room, this time in the […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old): Show Me Yours and I’ll Show You Mine
April 1, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
58
The long and illustrious history of photography began many centuries before the first photograph was actually produced. Brilliant, creative minds like Chinese philosopher Mo Ti and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The first actual “modern” photograph of people,“Boulevard du Temple”, was taken by Louis […]
