My “2010 Year in Blogging”
January 5, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I created my blog in April 2010 and wrote my first post in May. For awhile, I didn’t get much of a response, and when I did, I usually didn’t comment (I think I thought writers shouldn’t fraternize with readers.). In June, I started to get a couple comments. I responded. Walker (delicacies.wordpress.com) and […]

A 100,000 Year History of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Six Months Of Life
December 27, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For those of you who live someplace other than the bottom of my clothes-to-be-ironed basket, you are aware that the world is always changing. And pregnancy, childbirth and young motherhood have changed along with it. I am aware of this because I have an 18 month old grandson, Jonah. Although he looks remarkably like the […]
For me, The Day is The Day After.
December 25, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It’s Christmas morning. Life in the Boomer Lane’s three children, their two spouses (No, two of her children don’t share a spouse. Her younger son’s girlfriend is with her family in Myrtle Beach, SC) and her grandson and two dogs are at her ex’s house. There, they, like every other person in the world except LBL, […]
Cloudy With A Chance of Children
December 11, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane is getting ready for the kids to descend on the house for the holidays (As she writes this, Jorge/George, the normally tree-climbing lawn guy, is dragging the ladder out of the garage so he can string the interior holiday lights.) Technically, they will be celebrating Chanukah, which will have already been over […]
Being Chanukah in a Christmas World
December 8, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
When I was little, I wanted Christmas. I didn’t care that Chanukah was eight days long, since I only got one present. People never talked about Chanukah. Everything out there in the world was Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. The stores were all filled with trees and lights, Santas were on every corner ringing bells, my elementary […]
Working Hard at Not Making Money
December 7, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I have a new project to not make money. This one is designing cuff bracelets using ribbons that are twisted and knotted. Each piece is unique, and I’m sure there is no market for them. This got me to thinking about all the creative ways I have found over the years to not make […]
The Room You Never Want to Go Into
December 5, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane seriously hates beating dead horses. And she doesn’t know why anyone would want to do that anyway, but apparently there must have been a time in the past when people actually did beat dead horses, or the phrase never would have come into existence. Did they do it or fun on […]
Christmas in London: Santa is booked, but an elf might be available.
December 4, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
As a Jewish American, I feel uniquely qualified to pass judgment on how the Brits celebrate their Christmas season. All the same trappings are there: the trees, the lights, the shopping mania, the bleary-eyed pseudo-Santas roaming the streets. But I am here to observe some of the differences. After all, like with the English […]

The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women
January 7, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
105
Ooooh, provocative blog title. Life in the Boomer Lane can hear the heavy breathing of people lining up on either side of this debate that is so incendiary it will make you forget about bedbugs and J-Woww’s nude photo scandal. So here goes: LBL has an ongoing disagreement with her friend Jean. She insists that all […]
