My Thoughts Don’t Even Cost A Penny
An apology to readers: I’ve been unable to write anything for the blog, given the current political situation. Both serious writing and parody are being done by people far more astute and clever than me. And making light of normal life seems too frivolous right now. But this week, at a dinner party, listening to […]
Just Do Something, Part 1
November 18, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane suspects that many of us now feel like we are in the woods, in the dark, with no flashlight, listening to ominous noises that are coming ever closer. We need something to make us feel like we are not merely helpless prey. One suggestion is to use our purchasing power […]
A Love Letter to the GOP
September 10, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane is thinking that not all of you actually believe that immigrants are eating your pets. Not all of you believe that incarcerating all folks who sent contributions to the Democratic nominee for President is a good idea. Not all of you believe that raking your leaves or dampening the forest […]
Oh, Reality!
August 6, 2024
For most of Life in the Boomer Lane’s actual life, people have asked her how she comes up with the things that come out of her mouth. She answers that she does nothing special. Life comes at her and her brain, in effect a well-worn Cuisinart-type thing, just puts items together in various ways and […]
The Director Of Retribution
July 12, 2024
Back in 2017, Ivan Raiklin, a former Green Beret and then currently serving active duty in the National Guard, ran 1776 miles across Virginia to bring awareness to the issue of veteran suicide. He also ran to see if he could get enough money to make a run for the US Senate. He did this […]
The Presidential Debate 2024
June 26, 2024
While, technically, the history of presidential debates began in 1960, debates in general started well before that. The first debates were, indeed, public, since everything humans did, including pooping and copulation, was public. And yes, there was usually a topic at hand (fighting over food or women or accusing someone of pushing them into a […]
Aging Safety Denied
May 24, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane has been entirely too preoccupied with the daily Amazon truck arrival to notice much else going on around her. Then just a couple days ago, she saw something that catapulted her into action. It was a photo of the Trump master bathroom at Mar-a-Lago, showing an entire shitload of stacked […]
It’s Only A Number Take 2
February 21, 2024
October 2023 was an innocent time in America. A surprised Kevin McCarthy was booted from his job as Speaker of the House, and Jim Jordan, believing he would do much better, was elated to get the nomination. That same month, People Magazine reported that, while Taylor Swift and Kelce sure seemed like an item, an […]
It’s Only A Number
February 14, 2024
The latest episode of Battle of the Age Gladiators pits Donald Trump against Joe Biden. Trump’s people have been age-bashing Biden for a long time now, asserting that Biden, by virture of the fact that he is in the 79-106 age demographic, is unfit to hold office. Trump, on the other hand, a member of the […]
