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 […]
Everything is Being Stollen
February 10, 2025
Revered Leader, in Missive #2,408 last week, referred to our money being “stollen.” Life in the Boomer Lane was quite concerned and checked her bank account. Sure enough, it consisted only of iced pastries, filled with dried fruits and nuts. In order to get to the bottom of this, she went to her nearest bakery. […]
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 […]
A Love Letter to the GOP
September 10, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane is thinking that not all of you actually believe that immigrants are eating your pets. Not all of you believe that incarcerating all folks who sent contributions to the Democratic nominee for President is a good idea. Not all of you believe that raking your leaves or dampening the forest […]
All-You-Can-Eat Politics
September 7, 2024
There’s an old joke that a man goes to an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, loads his plate, goes to his table and eats everything, then comes back for more. The manager stops him and points to the “All You Can Eat Sign.” The man, perplexed, says “But that’s what the sign says. All you can eat.” […]
Of Foyers and Fading Out
August 17, 2024
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 […]
Wisdom Gained in K Thru 2
July 18, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane has been thinking a lot, lately, about Cowboys and Indians. She has visual evidence of how important Cowboys were in her early life when she looks at her second grade school photo. Virtually every boy was wearing a plaid shirt or a solid color shirt with fringe or embroidery, that […]
The Presidential Debate 2024
June 26, 2024
While, technically, the history of presidential debates began in 1960, debates in general started well before that. The first debates were, indeed, public, since everything humans did, including pooping and copulation, was public. And yes, there was usually a topic at hand (fighting over food or women or accusing someone of pushing them into a […]
I’m Christian and You’re Wrong
June 17, 2024
The Children’s Crusade and lobster pee both fall into the general category of inexplicable things. Life in the Boomer Lane can’t speak much about lobster pee (except to note that lobsters pee out of their faces), but she can speak a bit about the Children’s Crusade, as a metaphor for our current political climate. The […]
