Exiled to Nicheville
October 18, 2010
I’m a bit concerned about my children (three) and my grandchildren (one arrived 16 months ago, the others mere thoughts as of this post). I am aware that, depending on which standard is used, my children are either Gen Xers or Gen Yers. Or both. This in itself is a problem. If my children are Gen […]
You’re Probably A Feminist. You Just Don’t Know It.
October 15, 2010
Contrary to what many believe, feminism didn’t begin at the Miss America Pagent of 1968 when a group of women burned their bras.

October 12, 2010
I have a cold/virus/bacterial infection/whatever. No biggie. It’s not like I’m sick a lot. The last illness was about five lbs ago. I went to the doctor after whatever I had was building up for about five days. This consisted of: Be fine during the day and throughout the night. Wake up feeling like a […]
Mama Grizzlies, Animal and Otherwise
October 5, 2010
The October 4 issue of Newsweek has an article titled “Hear Them Growl,” about the political female Grizzlies. Life in the Boomer Lanc decided to get to the bottom of this, doing some mighty deep research for about 15 minutes on Google and on the National Geographic site. Aside from the time that a bear […]

Along with the rest of humanity except for Oprah, I spend an awful lot of time each day listening to voice mail messages of assorted businesses and governmental agencies. Some of this is because I am, at any given moment, trying to straighten something out, trying to understand something, trying to order something, or trying […]
