Playboy Goes Under Cover
Playboy, the magazine that launched millions of boomer men into puberty, will, starting in March 2016, no longer show naked women in its pages. Lest this seem on par with McDonalds switching to an all-vegan menu, LBL is here to assure you that the decision will probably increase Playboy readership. The truth is that in today’s […]

Kevin McCarthy, poised to succeed John Boehner as the next Speaker of the House, has just thrown the Republican Party into a tizzy by removing his name from consideration.

Absence Seizures
October 1, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has just finished The Storied Life of AJ Fikry, by Gabrielle Zevin. Unless you are, at this moment, being wheeled into open heart surgery, please stop anything you are doing and read this book.

I’ll Go on A Diet if You Give Me Your Wallet: What People Really Want in A Partner When Dating
September 30, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
No matter how many times Life in the Boomer Lane (or anyone else) writes about the characteristics people look for in relationships, those actually looking for relationships will read it.

Life in the Boomer Lane, in perusing her weekly issue of Time, bypassed articles about all manner of significant news to share with loyal readers, and focused, instead, on the following: “There are now four college-grad women for every three college grad men among Americans ages 22-29.” And, as the years go by, the disparity […]

August 27, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Thanks to an article on BBC.com, we now know that the vast majority of movie goers would prefer not to see people post-60 having sex onscreen. This fact dovetails with the vast majority of people post-60 who would prefer not to watch themselves having sex. In spite of this, film makers have lately started to […]
Should Men Even Exist?
August 14, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
The following was inspired by a recent article in the Washington Post, sent to Life in the Boomer Lane by an alert reader. The fact that LBL is writing about this is in no way indicative of her disrespect for men. Nor is it her intention to be the female version of Donald Trump. She […]
