For me, The Day is The Day After.
December 25, 2010
It’s Christmas morning. Life in the Boomer Lane’s three children, their two spouses (No, two of her children don’t share a spouse. Her younger son’s girlfriend is with her family in Myrtle Beach, SC) and her grandson and two dogs are at her ex’s house. There, they, like every other person in the world except LBL, […]
Being Chanukah in a Christmas World
December 8, 2010
When I was little, I wanted Christmas. I didn’t care that Chanukah was eight days long, since I only got one present. People never talked about Chanukah. Everything out there in the world was Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. The stores were all filled with trees and lights, Santas were on every corner ringing bells, my elementary […]
Working Hard at Not Making Money
December 7, 2010
I have a new project to not make money. This one is designing cuff bracelets using ribbons that are twisted and knotted. Each piece is unique, and I’m sure there is no market for them. This got me to thinking about all the creative ways I have found over the years to not make […]
The Room You Never Want to Go Into
December 5, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane seriously hates beating dead horses. And she doesn’t know why anyone would want to do that anyway, but apparently there must have been a time in the past when people actually did beat dead horses, or the phrase never would have come into existence. Did they do it or fun on […]
Boomer Sex Ain’t Boomin’
November 24, 2010
An enlightening and thoroughly depressing new survey of sex among Boomers was conducted recently. Now Husband and Life in the Boomer Lane unshackled themselves from the headboard in their bedroom long enough to read it. LBL will summarize for those of you who were fans of Cliff Notes back in school. The first sentence says […]
Boomer Sex Ain't Boomin'

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. […]
Please don’t take my crappy cell phone away from me!
November 19, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane’s technological prowess stops somewhere between the invention of the wheel and that of the cotton gin. Everything else, LBL puts under one of two categories: It’s magic and she likes it. It’s a curse on her existence and she wants it to go away. LBL’s enthusiasm for changing anything she has is […]

The Lady Gaga Guide to Airport Security
November 12, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is about to leave for London. Again. Because her three kids all live at a distance (three different distances, to be precise), LBL now does a fair amount of traveling. And, because LBL has enough metal in her body to build a washer/dryer, Airport Security is always a blast (Whoops, wrong […]

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 […]
