A Celebration of Phil
Last month, my family and I participated with thousands of others in a celebration. If you are thinking of the Eagles Super Bowl championship parade, you would be incorrect, although I did attend the parade as well. I am referring to spending five hours driving to Western Pennsylvania, namely Punxsutawney, PA, for Groundhog Day. It is an event that is hard to explain, but you must do it once in your life. Each year, on February 2nd, one of America’s strangest traditions occurs in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The aptly named Punxsutawney Phil, a weather-predicting groundhog, is pulled out [...]

It's hard to express in words how important their role has been in all they have done. They have served my mother now for almost four years, and they have the [...]
Colombia Is Calling – Will We Answer?
Recently, Bryan Adler and I traveled to Colombia for a week-long trip as part of an elder law delegation from the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), learning about the delivery of legal and social services to older adults in Colombia. Colombia is a fascinating, beautiful place. The people are warm and welcoming. Nursing homes generally do not exist. Virtually all take care of their loved ones at home. Walking multiple dogs at a time in Bogota seems to be a thing. I have no idea how the dogs are so well-behaved. There are still serious issues with the [...]
