Telomeres: The Bananas of Aging
In a boon to what appears to be the science of preventing aging, Stanford Medicine reports that “Researchers delivered a modified RNA that encodes a telomere-extending protein to cultured human cells. Cell proliferation capacity was dramatically increased, yielding large numbers of cells for study.” As Life in the Boomer Lane is well aware that her […]
Thumbs Out
June 10, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
In a current article from Vox, “The Forgotten Art of Hitchhiking–and why it disappeared”, we learn that hitchhiking has gone the way of the landline phone, the typewriter, and most rules of etiquette. People no longer hitchhike in the same numbers they used to. Interestingly enough, the reason has little to do with safety. […]
How to Deter Burglars, Thieves, and 16-Year-Olds
June 8, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane would be lying to you if she were to tell you that personal security has not been on her mind. This is because a gun store is scheduled to open in LBL’s hitherto touchie feelie, peace-loving neighborhood and LBL feels completely mystified and out of the loop, when considering the […]

The Demise of the Gold Watch
June 2, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane has whipped herself up into a frenzy lately, with deep and profound posts about guns and the environment. She needs a break. This should be good news for former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who doesn’t have to worry that LBL will skewer him for engaging in “sexual […]
Guns N’ Roses
May 25, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Last week, the floodgates of listerv mayhem were unleashed when it became known that a gun shop was coming into Life in the Boomer Lane’s quiet middle-class and decidedly liberal Democrat-majority neighborhood. Emails began flying back and forth with more speed than tiger-stripe mosquitoes exhibit when LBL is sitting on her front porch in the […]
Be A Better Mom. Go to Work.
May 20, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Mommy Wars began officially during the 16th century BC, when Ahhotep 1 ruled Egypt as regent after the death of her father. Ahhotep was instrumental in driving the Hyskos invaders out of Egypt. Many Egyptians, when surveyed, expressed a belief that, although Ahhotep certainly provided a service to her country, her two sons would have […]
The 24-Hour Boob Job
May 12, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane was in the process of tweaking her latest post about the Hubble discovery of phantom objects lurking around dead quasars, when she happened to glance at the following headline, compliments of Newsweek: The 24-Hour Boob Job. If you are a loyal reader who actually cares about dead quasars and […]
My Mother, Not Me
May 8, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane doesn’t need Mother’s Day to think about her own mother. She does that, pretty much, all throughout the year. She lost her mother four decades ago, before her mother could have experienced the joy of grandchildren. LBL would have liked to have been the kind of person her mom […]
