We have not hit the in-law milestone yet but there must be rafts of Boomer mothers-in-law out there. Contact writer Apryl Chapman Thomas if you have something to say about that most interesting of relationships.

I am a freelance writer who is currently working on an article about Evil Daughter in Laws. I am looking for sources, who might could speak anonymously if they like, on the subject for my article. I am particularly interested in speaking with mother in laws who feel like their relationship is strained or not the way the would like for it to be. I have a few questions that can be taken care of through email. I can be contacted at apryl@aprylchapmanthomas.com

I'm sitting in the hill country of Wisconsin this afternoon waiting with baited breath for spring to arrive. Looking out the window I'm watching it snow sideways in the middle of April. It must be that global warming I'm hearing so much about, which brings me to the topic at hand. This is usually the time of year I break my old cars out of storage and start burning more fossil fuel in these carbureted, no-pollution control cars. It may melt the polar ice cap, but I can't let go of those cars that we grew up with.

Many of us boomers grew up in the age of gas shortages, alternate day gas purchase plans, red and green gas station flags and the introduction of smaller, fuel efficient cars. The cars that I have decided to collect aren't the ones that you will see on the Speed Channel at that fancy auction down in Arizona. My garage is filled with cars that would bring a smile to many a boomer face.
