I've Got Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Pill Bottle
December 13, 2010
A couple days ago, while going about the always fascinating business of my life, I was overcome with an astonishing sense of well-being. It was as though zen-infused Karo Syrup was oozing throughout my veins. I believed, as I walked along the aisle of Target that I had found the true meaning of life […]

Being Chanukah in a Christmas World
December 8, 2010
When I was little, I wanted Christmas. I didn’t care that Chanukah was eight days long, since I only got one present. People never talked about Chanukah. Everything out there in the world was Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. The stores were all filled with trees and lights, Santas were on every corner ringing bells, my elementary […]
Working Hard at Not Making Money
December 7, 2010
I have a new project to not make money. This one is designing cuff bracelets using ribbons that are twisted and knotted. Each piece is unique, and I’m sure there is no market for them. This got me to thinking about all the creative ways I have found over the years to not make […]
The Room You Never Want to Go Into
December 5, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane seriously hates beating dead horses. And she doesn’t know why anyone would want to do that anyway, but apparently there must have been a time in the past when people actually did beat dead horses, or the phrase never would have come into existence. Did they do it or fun on […]
Please don’t take my crappy cell phone away from me!
November 19, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane’s technological prowess stops somewhere between the invention of the wheel and that of the cotton gin. Everything else, LBL puts under one of two categories: It’s magic and she likes it. It’s a curse on her existence and she wants it to go away. LBL’s enthusiasm for changing anything she has is […]

What I did then. What I wouldn’t do now.
November 15, 2010
Although I had no part of the free sex of the 60s, and only slightly more of the more-than-free-but-still cheap drugs of the era, I look back on some of the things I did back then and wonder how I survived. I hitchhiked with my then best friend from Philly to Trenton, so that […]

What 5 Inches Really Means
January 28, 2011

In case any of you have been living behind LBL’s washer and dryer with an assortment of her missing socks and underwear, you might not know that DC just had a five inch snowfall on Wednesday. Traffic police in the area were immediately diverted from directing traffic to riding around in big official-looking trucks. This resulted […]
