I Will Not Be Invisible
December 19, 2010
When Life in he Boomer Lane and her friends decided to write a book about women over 50, LBL asked a lot of women her age what sucked about getting older.

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 […]

This Parking Meter Needs A User Manual
October 25, 2010
Two friends and I drove into Washington, DC (newly designated as the 2nd WORSE TRAFFIC CITY in the US) to do the “Walk to End Modern Day Slavery.” DC is the World Mecca for Walks/Runs/Demonstrations/Rallies/Political Motorcades/Tourism/General Mayhem on the Road. There were at least four events happening that day, including an Army 10 Miler. For […]
Why I Don’t Collect Things
September 27, 2010
The members of my family were always avid collectors. My grandfather, in addition to collecting wives, used to bring discarded items home from abandoned properties that were undergoing renovation.
