Focusing On Three Hundred And Sixty-Five “Unbirthdays”
By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor
Put away the party hats, leave the streamers at home, and pop the balloons. I’m officially skipping my birthday this year.
I turn 50 this month. FIFTY! And I am not a happy camper. Generally, 50 of something is pretty good. Fifty bucks? Great! Fifty baby sea otters? Totes adorbs. But 50 birthdays? KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
My Mom Has A Kid Who Gave Her Gray Hair

I am the reason my mother has gray hair.
I’m sure my siblings helped, particularly my brother. But I’m well aware of who I am. I’ll own this one.
Cherishing A Very Special Phone Call
By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor
It was early December of last year. I was getting into my car, rushing to my next appointment, when I noticed I had a voicemail. It was from Rick Taylor. He’d occasionally give me a call to let me know that he just finished reading the newest issue of All Around Pennsauken and shared with me how much he enjoyed it. Seeing I just missed it, I gave him a quick call back. It was a brief call, but it was very good to hear his voice. He reiterated his message. I thanked him for his kind words and let him know that coming from him, it was high praise. I told him that his thoughtfulness meant a lot to me.
It would be the last time we talked before his passing.
