The Fault in Our Stars: A Review
March 22, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
A funny thing happened to me on my way to trashing the third book in the three book series, Fifty Shades of Grey. Between changing poopy diapers, feeding a toddler and an eight month old and making puppets of the ten plagues with which God smote upon the Egyptians and then performing a puppet show […]
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, […]
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 […]
The 15 Minute Dog
February 24, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
(The following is part of my Friday series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” Although nothing has changed, it’s the start of a slow weekend.) A lot of people, consisting entirely of my daughter and my […]
Middle Age vs The Middle Ages
February 22, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Many people nowadays confuse being middle aged with being in the Middle Ages. They can be forgiven for a certain amount of confusion, since neither group of people had births recorded on iPhones and immediately posted on social media networks around the planet. Neither group grew up with Tickle Me Elmo and Teenage Mutant Ninja […]
Bye, Bye Babeu
February 19, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane

First voted into office in 2008, Babeu became the first Republican Sheriff elected in the history of Pinal County. He has received national media attention for taking a hard line stance against illegal immigration, the unsecured US border with […]

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 […]
