It's Only A Number
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 35-78 demographic, continues to be in the prime of his life, enjoying middle age by honing…

Give That Company An Oscar
It’s easy to buy products we like, without knowing anything about the companies that produce them. Products that taste good, work well, look attractive, make us feel secure, and are easy to get, usually inspire us to whip out our credit cards. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, some of these companies are better than others at actually being better for us and for the planet.

RIP: Rest in Peace, Medical Debt
It would be a waste of time to detail all of the issues with the US healthcare system, chief of which is the cost of medical coverage and, in spite of coverage, the way ordinary people can quickly rack up medical debt that takes away a lifetime of saving. Countless people have wondered why we can’t provide basic medical care for people, like much of the world does. It would be an even greater…

Jasmine Crockett
Life in the Boomer Lane has been entirely fed up with the There-are-no-longer-any-words-to-express-this behavior of Trump, his followers, the entire GOP in general, conservative media, people who know what is happening and choose to ignore it, and a whole bunch of other stuff that signals the end of democracy or of the world, whichever occurs first. She writes about the same stuff to the same…

Mike Johnson vs The Freedom Caucus
As reported by Heather Cox Richardson on Sunday, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced they had reached a $1.66 trillion agreement to fund the government in 2024…Members of the Freedom Caucus immediately panned the agreement, well before it was actually printed.
Random members of the Freedom Caucus were asked which parts of the agreement were…

The Etiquette of Threesomes
Life in the Boomer Lane has been vainly searching for anything to write about that has nothing to do with the Nazification of Trump, the downfall of American Democracy, the End of the World in General, or the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance.
She hit paydirt with today’s post from her most favorite political commentator, Heather Cox Richardson. Heather (as LBL foldly refers to her), is…

A Welcome
Several evenings ago, I attended a “Welcome to the Neighborhood” gathering for new residents. This was a bit different than what one might expect. The particular couple being welcomed were educated, financially successful professionals with three children, forced to flee from one African country to another, only to find out that the second country was no safer than the first.
Upheaval of any…

My Life is A Lie
Sometimes, it takes a relatively minor event to bring to the surface a profound disconnect between one’s supposed “truth” and reality of that truth disappearing. Buying an airfare ticket from American Airlines yesterday did so for Life in the Boomer Lane.
It started predictably enough. LBL was in posession of an alleged $233 credit from a flight that had been cancelled. Based on past experience,…

Catching Up
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a whirlwind tour of Morroco. For those of you who are shrieking “Morroco!?! isn’t that a Muslim country!? Oh my Capital-G-God, were you safe?! Look at what happened in israel!!! and lots of other assorted inane pronouncements, LBL is here to tell you the following:
Morocco is a stunning, safe, welcoming country, filled with great sights, great food,…

Bennu and You
It has just been announced that Bennu, characterized as a “near-earth” object, is due to collide with Earth in 2182. Life in the Boomer Lane should explain, at this point, that the designation of Bennu being a “near-earth” object is not the same as the current gang of GOP henchmen being described as as “near-human.” In this case, the word “near” refers to Bennu’s proximity to Earth, not its…

Lauren Boerbert, Theater Critic
Lauren Boebert, duly-elected GOP CongressHumanoid from the 3rd District of Colorado, is no slouch when it comes to culture. Boebert attended Rifle High School (Life in the Boomer Lane is not making this up), but dropped out in 2024 when she became pregnant. Before her run for Congress, she prepared herself for public office by opening a gun-themed restaurant, named Shooter’s Grill.

A Brief Catch Up on the State of the Planet
The Wascally Wabbits of the US Political UnderWorld are in a serious competition with whatever causes our current hellacious weather patterns (climate change/gun control/a pissed off god/simple bad luck/Hunter Biden) to end the world as expediciously as possible. Even Vlad and Kim took time out from planning their next Big Bro Pajama Party to to pay attention. The world, it seems, is holding its…

The Mermaid Parade
The Coney Island Mermaid Parade began in 1983, viewed by (according to one slightly inebriated Coney Island native, standing behind Life in the Boomer Lane) four people. Today, 40 years later, it is the largest art parade in the country, attended each year by countless thousands of people. LBL, Only Daughter, and six-year-old grandson were in attendance on June 17, this year.
Were there…

Don't Go Down the Basement
Decades ago, Life in the Boomer Lane was introduced to the concept of “things are not always as they appear to be” by Then Husband the Economist, who always declared that everything in life came down to economics. It was a new way of looking at events and pretty much covered all bases except for natural disasters and what LBL was going to make for dinner. Years later, Now Husband declared that,…

Vegas: The Jerusalem of Nevada
Back in 2021, Life in the Boomer Lane came up with the idea of celebrating her oldest grandchild’s Bar Mitzvah, due to take place in 2022, by taking him to Israel. One thing led to another, and, after a very short time, 15 people were signed on to the trip: LBL, Now Husband, three children, three spouses, and seven grandchildren. Hundreds of emails flew through space, back and forth with the tour…

Who Are You and Who Are We Together?
Some people take their childhoods and use them to define their view of the world. Others take their experiences and use them as tools to create powerful lives that their childhoods could never have envisioned. Lori Brewer Collins is a tool user. Lori’s vision of the world and her place in it is far more powerful than a childhood spent on a Michigan farm would indicate. That is, until you talk to…

Dreaming Our Lives Away
Life in the Boomer Lane goes through periods of time when, if someone were to ask her what she dreamt about the previous night, her answer would be “Huh?” At other times, her dreams accompany her throughout her day. It is then that she wonders why that man she knew many years ago, who she knew to be 6’3″, was actually about 5″6″. How did she miss that? And why was her client flirting with her…
