An enlightening and thoroughly depressing new survey of sex among Boomers was conducted recently.  Now Husband and Life in the Boomer Lane unshackled themselves from the headboard  in their bedroom long enough to read it.  LBL will summarize for those of you who were fans of Cliff Notes back in school.  The first sentence says […]

An enlightening and thoroughly depressing new survey of sex among Boomers was conducted recently.  Now Husband Dan and I unshackled ourselves from the headboard  in our bedroom long enough to read it.  I’ll summarize for those of you who were fans of Cliff Notes back in school.  The first sentence says it all: The U.S. […]

Please don't take my crappy cell phone away from me!

November 19, 2010 by

My technological prowess stops somewhere between the invention of the wheel and that of the cotton gin.  Everything else, I put under one of two categories: It’s magic and I like it.

The Lady Gaga Guide to Airport Security

November 12, 2010 by

After my cricket post I decided to take a break from writing about any non-humanoids for awhile.  Then my phone rang.  It was a former client:  “I have rats.  What should I do?”  I thought about this for awhile, but rat stew didn’t seem to be the most helpful answer. “Call an exterminator.” I paused.
