My “2010 Year in Blogging”
January 5, 2011
I created my blog in April 2010 and wrote my first post in May. For awhile, I didn’t get much of a response, and when I did, I usually didn’t comment (I think I thought writers shouldn’t fraternize with readers.). In June, I started to get a couple comments. I responded. Walker (delicacies.wordpress.com) and […]

A 100,000 Year History of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Six Months Of Life
December 27, 2010
For those of you who live someplace other than the bottom of my clothes-to-be-ironed basket, you are aware that the world is always changing. And pregnancy, childbirth and young motherhood have changed along with it. I am aware of this because I have an 18 month old grandson, Jonah. Although he looks remarkably like the […]
My Altercation With My Pilates Instructor, two, three, four…
December 17, 2010
It snowed yesterday and the roads were really bad, so Life in the Boomer Lane called the gym this morning to ask if the Pilates class would still be held and was totally bummed that the class was in doubt. LBL wanted to hear that it was cancelled. Awhile later, LBL got a call to […]
I’ve Got Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Pill Bottle
December 13, 2010
A couple days ago, while going about the always fascinating business of my life, I was overcome with an astonishing sense of well-being. It was as though zen-infused Karo Syrup was oozing throughout my veins. I believed, as I walked along the aisle of Target that I had found the true meaning of life […]

Christmas in London: Santa is booked, but an elf might be available.
December 4, 2010
As a Jewish American, I feel uniquely qualified to pass judgment on how the Brits celebrate their Christmas season. All the same trappings are there: the trees, the lights, the shopping mania, the bleary-eyed pseudo-Santas roaming the streets. But I am here to observe some of the differences. After all, like with the English […]
Boomer Sex Ain't Boomin'
November 24, 2010
An enlightening and thoroughly depressing new survey of sex among Boomers was conducted recently. Now Husband Dan and I unshackled ourselves from the headboard in our bedroom long enough to read it. I’ll summarize for those of you who were fans of Cliff Notes back in school. The first sentence says it all: The U.S. […]

Life in the Boomer Lane 
The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women
January 7, 2011
105
Ooooh, provocative blog title. Life in the Boomer Lane can hear the heavy breathing of people lining up on either side of this debate that is so incendiary it will make you forget about bedbugs and J-Woww’s nude photo scandal. So here goes: LBL has an ongoing disagreement with her friend Jean. She insists that all […]
