Stalking and Being Stalked
It’s taken awhile for Life in the Boomer Lane to notice that she is being stalked by products she has searched for online. There are, apparently, companies, most likely founded and run by recently toilet-trained tots, whose job is to imprint whatever LBL searches for and to then cause those items to appear on […]
Dating: The Soft Breakup
November 9, 2014
Human beings have always had a hard time finding the “right” person. Back in prehistory, a lot of potential relationships were ruined by the untimely demise of a prospective mate, due to being eaten by large out-of-control mammals. The unsuspecting (and single) ones who survived were often hunted down and captured by singles on […]
The Jobs Report
November 5, 2014
Huffington Post, in addition to its usual piece, bleating that sex over age 50 is the BEST SEX EVER, has an article about post-60-year-olds’ first jobs. This got Life in The Boomer Lane to stop thinking about election results, in order to free up enough brain cells to address herself to the topic of […]
The History of Halloween
October 29, 2014
Halloween is the longest-running holiday ever in the history of the world, except for Take Your Pet to Work Day. Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, part of the Celtic culture. The Celts were a squirrelly lot. They had no central government, no big important person in charge of everyone, […]
Kanye, Kats and Kontroversy
October 27, 2014
Let’s be clear, right off the bat: This is neither a post about cats nor about Kanye. This is, however, a post about what happens once one writes a blog post that may be less-than-favorable, albeit satiric, about American icons. Let’s also be clear about something else: Life in the Boomer Lane is non-aggressive to […]

Your Cat Wants to Kill You First and Then Make You Crazy
October 20, 2014
No one would deny that we have been drowning lately in a tsunami of very bad news. If you feel that things couldn’t get any worse, you should know that they just have. And, if you are a cat-owner, they have just gotten so much worse, that you might want to stop reading this […]
An Interview With 114-Year-Old Anna Stoehr
October 17, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane’s father was often fond of saying “The first 100 years are the hardest.” Anna Stoehr of Minnesota proves him wrong. Stoehr, age 114, was forced to lie about her age in order to join Facebook. She was born in 1900, but Facebook doesn’t let new users choose a birth […]
What Do Women Really Want?
October 6, 2014
Reader’s Note #1: The following post is about yet one more expensive blob of scientific research To the question “What do women really want?” some men will answer “Money,” others will answer “Who the hell knows?” and those of a more prurient bent will answer “Seven inches or more.” Reader’s Note #2: Life in the […]
I Have 10,000 Blog Followers
September 30, 2014
WordPress now tells Life in the Boomer Lane that she has 10,000 followers. She would immediately have to start purchasing larger hats were it not for several important facts: 1. She has no idea who these people are. The number of people who comment on her blog posts has actually gone down, not up. And, […]
