Of Foyers and Fading Out
In a sea of seriously disturbing news items (Kamala being called “Hitler and Stalin combined but times 200,”) and the contents of the public bonding debacle between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, LBL has been especially shocked at the following two items: the imminent demise of the foyer and the fact that aging is now […]
Bennu and You
September 25, 2023
It has just been announced that Bennu, characterized as a “near-earth” object, is due to collide with Earth in 2182. Life in the Boomer Lane should explain, at this point, that the designation of Bennu being a “near-earth” object is not the same as the current gang of GOP henchmen being described as as “near-human.” […]
Burning the House Down
October 7, 2021
Life in the Boomer Lane has been around for a long time, so long that she remembers when everyone listened to the same news and either agreed or disagreed. It’s a crazy thought now, the idea of our choices being limited to either agreeing or disagreeing. Now, we are on a different path. It’s like […]
Yesterday
September 28, 2018
Along with countless other people, I was glued to the TV yesterday, to watch the Senate hearing with Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. There were so many thoughts swirling around in my head throughout, that I thought I’d never be able to make sense of it enough to write anything. Yet here I am, […]
A Private Conversation Between Big POTUS and Little POTUS
September 10, 2018
Mike, I’ve called you in to talk about the anynimus letter written to the Failing Subversive Scary Lying and Cheating New York Times. I didn’t do it, Sir. I know you didn’t, Mike. But we have to find out who did. Anunismiss things like this can fuck everything up for us. I’ll swear by it, […]
Fear, Political Intrigue, Fake News and Poop
August 29, 2018
All of the words we are now using to describe the tumultuous and scary goings on in our country have finally arrived at Life in the Boomer Lane’s doorstep. Yesterday, LBL met a colleague for a working breakfast, then returned home. As she approached the front porch, she saw what appeared to be a pile […]
Getting Out the Vote
August 23, 2018
Like many other Americans (roughly half of the population) Life in the Boomer Lane has been inhabiting an alternate universe since November 8, 2016. On this date, we learned that the other half of the population had done something completely inexplicable. And, in the time since, the lines have been even more firmly drawn. Many […]
Friday the 13th
July 16, 2018
Life in the Boomer Lane was home several days ago, minding her business and having nothing in particular to do. She whiled away the time listening to POTUS call his own interview with the London Sun newspaper, in which he had dissed the Prime Minister of the UK, “fake news.” May’s reaction was to move […]
A Small Gathering of Michael Cohen’s Clients
April 17, 2018
Trump enters a room and greets Michael Cohen. Mike, you called. I’m here. Get busy and explain. I’m behind on my Tweets. Comey is making me work overtime. Should I say he should go to prison or be lynched? Or should I just say “Lock him up!” It worked before, right? I just have to […]
Enough is enough.
March 26, 2018
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 […]
