Fashion Begins At Home
February 3, 2011
Now Husband Dan will tell you (as will the mailman, random neighbors, Girl Scout cookie vendors, and UPS delivery people) that I am wont to change into my sleeping attire at any hour of the day, as long as I know I’m not leaving the house again. Sleep attire for me consists of an assortment […]
Rogue Rules
February 2, 2011
For well over a year, I’ve been writing a humor column for an online newspaper. The newspaper has rules it wants their writers to follow, and I’ve been pretty good at ignoring virtually all of them. Until recently, it didn’t seem to matter. I posted my articles, they got printed, and very occasionally someone might […]
Dr Zhivago was a Mere Innocent
February 1, 2011
I checked weather.com last night and saw the following blaring headlines: “Impending storm will cover half of the country! Storm will break all records! 100 million people will be impacted by this violent, destructive storm!” This morning was no better: “Historic blizzard and ice storm underway at this exact moment in the Midwest!” I turned […]
YKAJMiB!RK1!
January 31, 2011
We all now live at the bottom of an unruly, festering and ever-growing mountain of passwords and pins. I, personally, have run through the names of my entire family, all past bra sizes, and the names of at least three of my ill-fated turtles in elementary school in an attempt to come up with a […]
What 5 Inches Really Means
January 28, 2011
In case any of you have been living behind LBL’s washer and dryer with an assortment of her missing socks and underwear, you might not know that DC just had a five inch snowfall on Wednesday. Traffic police in the area were immediately diverted from directing traffic to riding around in big official-looking trucks. This resulted […]
There she is, Miss America…
January 15, 2011
This evening, the Miss America Pageant is prepared to stomp dance on our faces once again, with its laminated toothy smiles and stiletto heels. Oh whoops, am I being too hard on this tattered piece of Americana? You bet. I grew up with Miss America, and I have watched her slide from pure goodness and […]
The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women
January 7, 2011
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 […]
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 […]

Increasing Your Intelligence Without Being A Threat to Trees
February 5, 2011
28
There’s been a lot of hot research going lately about just exactly what it is that makes people smart. That is, aside from basic genetic make up, unique life experiences, and finally figuring out how to do the self-checkout at the supermarket. Scientists are now looking at what we can do to increase brain activity. […]
