Who Was That Creepy Guy Giving Out Candy?
My Now Husband is sort of new to this Halloween thing, as well as to the Kid Thing in general. Last year, NH wore a scary mask that brought all the little kids to tears. This year, NH went to the door as himself (Only one child cried) and tried really hard to say bright, pleasant things to […]
Six-Word Memoirs
October 21, 2010
The current issue of AARP Magazine has a short piece titled “Six-Word Memoirs.” Many people have submitted theirs online. My favorite was “Located my childhood sweetheart. Shouldn’t have.” So, here are some six word memoirs of my life: A mistake, telling Steve Jacobs “No.” Can I do eighth grade again? Three children. Two husbands. No […]
A Haunted House. And A Ghost Wearing Combat Boots.
October 14, 2010
In honor of Halloween, I’ll now tell the ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY of how I lived in a HAUNTED HOUSE. Don’t worry. This ghost/spirit/whatever was friendly and wasn’t accompanied by the usual creepy music. But first, have you ever wondered why, in scary movies, the hero/heroine always opens the exact door that he/she knows contains the […]
A Wedding in Istanbul
September 28, 2010
Now Husband went to his cousin’s daughter’s wedding last month in Istanbul. It was held at an old palace in the heart of the city.

The Saga of the Little Pink Panties
September 22, 2010
My nail lady, Tammy, who is now approaching 50, has finally officially entered the Universe of Perpetually Creative Brain Cells. Several months ago, Tammy’s husband was cleaning their house and, in the guest bedroom, he came across a pair of lacy bikini panties under the bed. They were pink, with little red hearts on them. […]
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 […]
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 […]

My husband Dan is about to leave for a month: two weeks in Turkey and two weeks on Rhodes in Greece. In Istanbul, he will be celebrating the wedding of his cousin’s daughter. It will be a huge, gala affair. Black tie. No “optional.” Held in a palace. Seriously. On Rhodes, he will be staying […]
