Enough is enough.
I’ve always intended my blog to be a humorous take on life. Although I have certainly written serious pieces, they have mostly been about close friends and ordinary people I’ve met who have inspired me in some way. But those are a small percentage of the number of pieces I’ve posted. I’ve set some kind […]
Words of My Fantasy Democratic Candidate for President 2020
November 6, 2017
(Note to Readers: Life in the Boomer Lane has recently been appalled by the predictable silence that has followed the Vegas massacre, the proposed new tax code, the administration announcement that fossil fuels will prevent both sexual abuse and reduce climate change, and a just-viewed recruitment video posted by the NRA in June.

When Manners Trump Murder
January 20, 2016

Emails began flying back and forth with more speed than tiger-stripe mosquitoes exhibit when LBL is sitting on her front porch in the […]
Welcome to 2013. You can run, but you can’t hide.
January 1, 2013
Back on January 1, 1541, it would have been tough to predict what the coming year would bring.
