The Blizzard of the Century and the Need for Aerosol Cheese
LBL doesn’t know which makes her more giddy with excitement, the Trump and Palin love fest (LBL prefers to refer to the union as “Tralin'”) or the fact that she has chosen this very week to be in Hawaii and thereby avoid the massive “Blizzard of a Lifetime” that is choking the […]
When Manners Trump Murder
January 20, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It’s a common story: Friends gather for dinner, one friend kills another, and the result is that the hostess is never thanked for all the work she spent preparing and serving the meal. Not so in this case, according to yesterday’s Washington Post, reporting on a murder that took place on December 20, at […]
What the World Will Look Like Without Drivers
January 19, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
If the above title conjures up post-apocalyptic visions of empty roadways littered with old fast food wrappers, or, if the idea of driverless cars careening all over the road is enough to have you imagine the mayhem of a Road Runner cartoon, take heart. We are not talking about either the end of the human […]

January 13, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Like many fans who have nothing better to do, Life in the Boomer Lane has been engaging in hot discussions with other fans about the current (and final) season of Downton Abbey. Word on the street is that all the story lines will be wrapped up by the end of the series. LBL has decided […]
Aliens, Aliens, and the Alienated
January 11, 2016 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane, in an attempt to not write about the Republicans vying for the Presidential nomination, was in danger of coming up blank for this blog. But, knowing that legions of fans out there have come to depend on starting their days with LBL’s sophmoric humor, she perused her current isuue of […]
A Presidential Round Table
December 16, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
(The actual, and living, Dr Harold Bornstein) Those of you who have not been rendered unconcious by attempting to carry all the large Amazon parcels being delived to you during this holiday season, may be aware that Donald Trump this week has tweeted the following: “I am proud to share this health report, written by […]
Be Thankful for Your Aging Brain
November 23, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Since the annual Christmas Monster that Swallowed the Western World now hits stores on the day after Halloween, Thanksgiving, with no costumes and no presents, has been largely ignored. For that reason, as the holiday is fast approaching, you may have given no thought to what you are thankful for. And, if you are a […]
When Does Old Age Begin?
November 13, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For many thousands of years, mankind has wondered when old age began. Mostly, it began about a week after puberty. In the Middle Ages, reaching age 21 was the goal. If you made it tht far, you had a pretty good shot at living into your 60s. Of course, your teeth would have all rotted […]
Your Brain and You
November 3, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Because the human brain is usually covered with a skull and scalp and hair and sometimes even a hat, we don’t know much about it. We know it looks like a cauliflower, but aside from that, it’s mostly conjecture. For this reason, there have been many misconceptions about the brain. Popular Science has, just yesterday, […]
My Body Parts Keep Forgetting How to Do Stuff
October 17, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It started when something rolled under Life in the Boomer Lane’s bureau. LBL’s brain immediately started to bend down to retrieve the errant object. Her body did not follow.
