Beloved Daughter has asked that Life in the Boomer Lane write a post about boomers on Facebook.  LBL isn’t sure how she phrased it, but it might have been “Gee Mommy, since your generation, especially the Class of ’69 of which you were such an integral part, is so much more fascinating than mine could […]

Sorry, US.  You can take a lesson from the Brits about how to run a food festival.  The annual Taste of London restaurant festival was held yesterday in Regent’s Park, just a few blocks from Beloved Daughter’s flat.  A mind boggling array of restaurants and pubs were represented.  Many of them had created charming outdoor […]

Her younger son/youngest child and Her Always Baby and his girlfriend joined them.  Her Always Baby and his girlfriend had been together over a year, but this was her first experience traveling with LBL’s family.  For part of their stay, they […]

Life in the Boomer Lane is in London to celebrate the first birthday of First Grandchild.  Like any besotted grandmother, she believes her grandchild walks on water (or he would, if he walked).  On her last trip to London, she tried to smuggle him through Customs between France and the UK.  She has decided not […]

Life in the Boomer Lane is venting. She is seriously so tired of hearing people say things like “Sixty is the new fifty.” Or forty. Or even thirty. This morning, on one of the talk shows, she caught about 30 seconds of the guest going on and on about how sixty-year olds should go mountain […]

I’m venting. I’m seriously so tired of hearing people say things like “Sixty is the new fifty.” Or forty. Or even thirty. This morning, on one of the talk shows, I caught about 30 seconds of the guest going on and on about how sixty-year olds should go mountain climbing and have pajama parties and […]

For those of you with an understanding of science that can fit into a pine nut shell, you are like Life n the Boomer Lane. But, thanks to people who possess brain cells that LBL can only dream of, we now know that all modern humans started in the same exact spot in Africa. Approximately 50,000-60,000 […]

Twitter, Justin Bieber, and Mr Cash Online

Life in the Boomer Lane was intending to wait until I understood Twitter a bit more before writing anything about it. But she knows that, in the past, her lack of knowledge about any specific topic has never stopped her from writing about it, and she felt that, like Justin Bieber, Twitter fell into the […]
