Grandpa’s Got a Bug

Apr 09, 2010

My 4 year-old granddaughter, Lucy, has been explaining my recent illness by flatly stating, “Grandpa’s got a bug in his lungs.” Thankfully after an almost two-week illness, I am ready to head back to the office… for half a day. (After all, “In Sickness and in Health” is the official name of my weekly blog, […]

Hitting the Beach at Iwo Jima

Apr 02, 2010

(This post about our amazing veterans and Law Elder Law’s dedication to helping them receive the benefits they deserve was first published in October of 2008.

Auntie Florence

Mar 25, 2010

Our Law Elder Law motto is “Serving Seniors and Those Who Love Them.” Jo Buscemi, niece of Raffaella Calabrese (more affectionately known as “Auntie Florence”), shared these words with me and asked me to share them with you: Dear Mr. Law, Around October 2008 my mother and I had our first meeting with Mr. Jonathan […]

My Bucket List Adventure: 8 Days Through the Andes

Mar 19, 2010

I suppose it was a lot of ego (combined with what little remains of my testosterone) that pushed me to make the decision to ride a horse through the Andes Mountains. Or maybe it was the great promotional copy and the photos at www.rideandes.com: “…ride through a stunningly beautiful, remote area of Northern Patagonia along […]

Mar 12, 2010

My Bucket List Adventure: February 27, 2010 My traveling companion, Joaquin Tortos, and I had just ended our eight-day horse trek through the Andes Mountains, so we were sleeping soundly. But the peaceful night ended at 3:34 a.m. (the middle of the night)… Our world was violently shaking, and all over the city, car alarms […]

Is Dad At the Shelter?

Mar 04, 2010

Recently I was sitting down with some very good friends when a cell phone rang. A look of worry shot across my friend’s brow as he looked at me and apologized, “I’ve got to take this call… my Dad’s missing! He’s gone wandering…” I could not help but listen as he spoke to relatives several […]

Why Angels Play Harps!

Feb 17, 2010

Most of us have seen angels represented as either winged cherubs or gracefully-robed harp players. Just before last Christmas, I met a real harp-playing angel named Barbara Fackler. I was introduced to Barbara because she had been employed by Passages Hospice to provide music for a resident at Aurora Rehabilitation Center. Frankly, I had never […]

Classical Music Heals! Does Country Music Hurt?

Feb 10, 2010

There is one thing that a number of prominent medical research organizations have come to agree upon—that classical music can be used to produce positive healing effects. That led me to ask this question: If classical music heals, then does music that you don’t like actually hurt you? The answer to that question seems to […]
