Behind the Scenes Birthday Weekend
As we all know, life, just like Supreme Court decisions, can cause whiplash. Life in the Boomer Lane has already written a thoughtful piece about the meaning for her of turning seventy-five. Let’s leave that for the moment and address ourselves to the reality of what was going on behind the scenes during her birthday […]
Pregnant Women, Large Men, TSA Pat Down Sex, and Cheetos
February 14, 2018
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a visit to see her son in Charleston. She chose a 6:05 AM return flight, in order to get back in time to go to her painting class. When she scheduled the flight, she was focused entirely on enjoying the company of her son, her daughter-in-law […]
Is the TSA Really Keeping You Safe?
May 18, 2016
Unless you have been living in Life in the Boomer Lane’s old, non-functioning washing machine that she stores in the basement because the stairs are too tight to be able to remove it, you are probably aware that TSA lines at airports have exceeded lines to get into a free Beyoncé concert. This opening […]
The Cooler. The Jacket. The TSA.
September 13, 2013
There is only one way to end a perfect, blissful, stress-free vacation. And that is to create mayhem on the trip back.

The Missing Body Parts of Women Over 50
December 30, 2011
(The following is the ninth in Life in the Boomer Lane’s new series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” Although nothing has changed, it’s the start of a really slow weekend, blogging-wise.) LBL’s tonsils have been gone […]
The Room You Never Want to Go Into
December 5, 2010
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 […]
The Lady Gaga Guide to Airport Security
November 12, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is about to leave for London. Again. Because her three kids all live at a distance (three different distances, to be precise), LBL now does a fair amount of traveling. And, because LBL has enough metal in her body to build a washer/dryer, Airport Security is always a blast (Whoops, wrong […]
