Bad Hombres
Watching the debate last night, Life in the Boomer Lane was stunned to hear Donald Trump say what sounded suspiciously like “bad hombres,” in reference to his assertion that The Wall will be all that stands between us and annihilation by the unwashed masses that are clamoring to overrun our southern border, in order to trade […]
The Answer to Age-Related Memory Loss
October 13, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
This entire presidential election season aside, most humans dislike forgetting things.

Furniture Shopping With Donald
October 8, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Donald, I’m so glad you suggested we go furniture shopping. I need a sectional real bad. It’s making me crazy. I think about sectionals all the time. My husband thinks I’m nuts. You came to the right person. I know furniture. Nobody knows furniture like I do. It’s furniture. And I know it. Most […]

The patent, presented in a proposal titled “Passenger Arrangement for Vehicles,” shows a mezzanine level of seats reachable by steps. Second-story passengers sit right above those on the floor below. According to Airbus, “Passenger cabins are therefore fitted with as many rows […]

September 1, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has always taken an interest in dreams, specifically the following: What do my dreams mean? What does it mean when I know I am dreaming in the dream? Why do I remember some dreams and others not? Why can’t I have great sex in dreams? (Readers note: LBL has never […]
