Coming in Third
It’s pretty much a known fact that the diminutive size of First Newborns is, like Napoleon and smallpox, in inverse proportion to the upheaval they cause in people’s lives. While said newborns occupy their copious leisure time with sleeping, eating, and pooping, newly-minted parents create any number of mental crises over these seemingly innocent characteristics […]

May 27, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane spends a lot of time reading about apps that boomers need. While she agrees that some of these might be quite useful in certain circumstances, she has yet to find apps that she would consider indispensible. She is forced, therefore, to create her own and present them to […]
The Panties, the Plastic, and the Pico de Gallo
May 25, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For the last couple days, Life in the Boomer Lane’s carton-infested attic has been occupied not with a contractor, but with a house guest. The aforementioned houseguest is actually a dear friend, who we shall call Joyce, because that is her name. Joyce lives in Florida but makes a twice-yearly drive up to Baltimore, where […]

May 16, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Back in 2014, when Life in the Boomer Lane wrote her last post on aging and height loss, the world was a much more innocent place, chiefly because the presidential primaries had not yet begun and because LBL was still over 5′ tall. In the interim, both American politics and LBL’s height have dipped to […]

There are few news items now that can pierce the mind-numbing miasma emanating from the run for the presidential nomination.

Rethinking The Story of You
April 25, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has always been skeptical of the conclusions people reach when they go through past life regression.

April 18, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
If you live in the northeastern part of the United States, next month, against all odds, you will not be thinking about Donald Trump, terrorism, or the possibility of needing a stronger antiperspirant.
