Online vs Standing in Line
Life in the Boomer Lane has noticed that, the more sophisticated our society becomes, the more removed actual humans can be from that sophistication. Science is available for all, at any time, compliments of Mr/Ms/Whatever Internet. Yet, there are humans who staunchly believe that JFK Jr is not only deceased, but he is secretly Trump’s […]
Jobs Up, Jobs Down
October 23, 2018
Axios, Life in the Boomer Lane’s daily go-to source for news, includes more than just solid evidence that life as we know it has come to an end or that the entire world is about to explode in a giant conflagration of misdeeds. president trump (which LBL will henceforth write with lower case letters) will […]
What’s Next
June 18, 2018
While Life in the Boomer Lane wrestles with any technology requiring more than an “On” and “Off” switch, the folks at AARP are discovering even newer ways to confuse her. In the latest issue of AARP Bulletin, an article titled “What’s Next” details all of the ways technology is racing ahead of what human brain […]
The Brain in Love
December 18, 2017
The holidays are supposed to be about love: of family, of friends, of Jesus, of materialism, and, this year especially, of one’s love (and utter relief) of 2017 being finally put to bed. For this reason, Life in the Boomer Lane thought she’d take the opportunity to devote this post to love. It’s a win-win: She […]
It Takes A Certain Kind of Brain to Envision A Flat Earth
December 1, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane, in spite of seriously hating high school and college science classes, has still unflaggingly maintained a deep respect for science, itself. She may not understand gravity, but, as long as she stays attached to the earth, she fervently believes in it. She may not understand aerodynamics but, as long as […]
Putting the Us Back in UterUs
March 9, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane has noticed that, in addition to car keys, cell phones, and Kindles, she has also lost body parts. Her knee, brain cells, the better parts of several teeth, several inches of height, and her uterus are now history. She had thought these were gone for good, until she saw […]
Stalking and Being Stalked
November 10, 2014
It’s taken awhile for Life in the Boomer Lane to notice that she is being stalked by products she has searched for online. There are, apparently, companies, most likely founded and run by recently toilet-trained tots, whose job is to imprint whatever LBL searches for and to then cause those items to appear on […]
The Five Big Questions That Still Stump Science
February 12, 2014
The Washington Post, in an article yesterday titled “Five Big Questions Still Stump Science,” gets Life in the Boomer Lane’s undivided attention from the get-go, by asking: “Are we nearing the end of science?” LBL has been patiently waiting for the demise of science ever since she realized that science was something that was made […]
The Case Against Science
July 31, 2013
Kentucky, home of The Creation Museum, has now become a hotbed of controversy over the issue of teaching science to children. While some people (and you know who you are) may still believe that the world is flat and bloodletting the preferred way to cure what ails you, the US government is attempting to get […]
