What’s in A Name?
Names of anything in our world are useful to different degrees during different times of our lives. Toddlers are often called upon to display their inordinate intelligence by naming animals, when shown pictures of such animals. They also shriek “Elmo!” (or some vague approximation) when confronted with an image of the lovable, red Muppet. As […]
Harrassing People for Fun and Profit
September 24, 2018
Contrary to what readers may now be thinking, the title of this post has noting to do with our duly elected and self-adored President of the United States. It is, instead, about Life in the Boomer Lane’s Saturday spent getting in people’s faces at a local community celebration. LBL will start by saying that DC […]
Bezos: From Books to Burial to the Great Beyond
September 20, 2018
Somewhere between the 10th and sixth centuries BC, the first, primitive version of the Hebrew Bible appeared. Whoever wrote it looked at it and said, “Damn, with a simple book I can control the world.” Over two thousands years later, a man named Jeff Bezos took his words to heart. “The guy was amazing,” he […]
Disco Dreamin’
September 17, 2018
Life in the Boomer Lane lives in a house that was built in 1912. It was built by someone who had very interesting notions of what a house should be. One of them was that there should be no access to the outside from the kitchen. Several rooms had no obvious purpose at all. The […]

Fear, Political Intrigue, Fake News and Poop
August 29, 2018
All of the words we are now using to describe the tumultuous and scary goings on in our country have finally arrived at Life in the Boomer Lane’s doorstep. Yesterday, LBL met a colleague for a working breakfast, then returned home. As she approached the front porch, she saw what appeared to be a pile […]
Your Life in Trash
August 1, 2018
Some years ago, when Life in the Boomer Lane decided to create a stone patio/terrace in her backyard, she hired a man whose father had been a gifted stone mason. Allegedly, the son had been taught by his dad. Although the project began well, the son’s drinking and unreliability ended with LBL paying the last […]
IQ’s Slippery Slope
July 23, 2018
At any given moment, half of the US population is walking around wondering what on earth has happened to the other half. Are they not paying attention? Do they not realize what is happening to this country? Do they not see the erosion of human rights, the widening gap of haves and have-nots, the destruction […]
Lord of the Flies
July 18, 2018
A couple of weeks ago, a pesky (aren’t they all) fly entered Life in the Boomer Lane’s house. LBL loves all living creatures. She makes an exception for mosquitoes and flies. She yelled to Now Husband to kill the fly. Now Husband rushed into the room holding a can of insect spray and proceeded to […]
Humanity Packs A Suitcase
July 9, 2018
Much of the chaos that appears to be currently sweeping the planet stems from the penchant humans have for not staying in one place. Instead, whether because of some kind of political or climatic upheaval or boredom with their own cave and a need to explore new ones, they moved restlessly about the planet. After […]
