My Thoughts Don’t Even Cost A Penny
An apology to readers: I’ve been unable to write anything for the blog, given the current political situation. Both serious writing and parody are being done by people far more astute and clever than me. And making light of normal life seems too frivolous right now. But this week, at a dinner party, listening to […]
Messy Nessy for this Messy Planet
January 28, 2025
Face it: Most of us are addicted in some way to the internet. We check Dr Google when the slightest ache or pain or concerning symptom occurs (Spoiler altert: Almost all symptoms are due to some form of cancer, even if it is #102 in the list of possibilities). We also do research into anything […]
Just Do Something, Part 1
November 18, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane suspects that many of us now feel like we are in the woods, in the dark, with no flashlight, listening to ominous noises that are coming ever closer. We need something to make us feel like we are not merely helpless prey. One suggestion is to use our purchasing power […]

Life in the Boomer Lane has been entirely fed up with the There-are-no-longer-any-words-to-express-this behavior of Trump, his followers, the entire GOP in general, conservative media, people who know what is happening and choose to ignore it, and a whole bunch of other stuff that signals the end of democracy or of the world, whichever occurs […]

Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a whirlwind tour of Morocco. For those of you who are shrieking “Morocco!?! isn’t that a Muslim country!? Oh my Capital-G-God, were you safe?! Look at what happened in israel!!! and lots of other assorted inane pronouncements, LBL is here to tell you the following: 2. […]
The Real Alien Menace
April 29, 2019
What with all the nonsense going on in the world right now, it is understandable that some folks might not have UFOs on their radar, so to speak. If you are one of these people, know that, while you are going about your daily business, worrying about trival items like nuclear war, climate change, the […]
Amazon Eats Whole Foods
June 19, 2017
Amazon, in it’s trajectory toward world domination, has just purchased Whole Foods. Whole Foods, for those of you who live 50 miles outside of town and grow all of your own food, is an upscale grocery store chain, in which one can purchase individually-wrapped grapes, each with a story about country of origin and a […]
