Ordering A Meal in A Brave New World
Life in the Boomer Lane’s travel experiences have involved being felled by belt buckles, vending machines and assorted TSA agents. On this most recent trip, to Florida, the culprit was an airport restaurant. At first, LBL was delighted. The section of National Airport in DC that serves Southwest Airlines is actually the original airport. It’s […]
Alexa is Listening
January 8, 2018 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane, in a desperate attempt to be allowed entry into Twenty-First Century Life, requested Amazon Echo (Alexa) for Hanukkah. Precious Only Daughter provided.

December 18, 2017 by Life in the Boomer Lane

December 1, 2017 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane, in spite of seriously hating high school and college science classes, has still unflaggingly maintained a deep respect for science, itself. She may not understand gravity, but, as long as she stays attached to the earth, she fervently believes in it. She may not understand aerodynamics but, as long as […]
