This was such a lovely surprise to see on Twitter. Professor Zolbrod taught me 30+ years ago, and he was just as delightful then as he is now. Thank you for brightening my day!
I loved this interview. I’m 40. My dad is 77 and dying from terminal cancer. I’m learning to appreciate the little things in life and to let go. Life is short and precious; I see that now. I don’t want to take it for granted anymore. Thankfully I’m sober 12 years so that helps. I love the feel of this man’s gratitude for his time here. He knows he did his best and lived life fully. Is there really anything else?
Another zinger💕Now 68 I am still on the search for role models....my life came with no instruction booklet! I love your columns so much. They mean the world to me. Onward ♥️🦋
I used to describe it as, they toss you this kit of parts at puberty, turn the key to the engine in your groin, and say, "Here, kid, put this together and go." And there's no instruction manual, no diagram. Thus each of us assembles ourself in the most unique, cockamamie, Rube Goldbergy way.
I treasure reading this, to get a more personal look at a scholar whose work on the Navajo has been so important to so many of us. You have left a great intellectual legacy, Paul. I thank you, and I salute you! You seem like a wonderful man.
This is so wonderful! Thank you, Paul!
This was a great thing to read this morning. Once again I realize I have so much to be grateful for.
What a rare spirit, as human and writer. I love that his next book will link Paradise Lost to Navajo creation legends.

Love this!
Published at 90! What an inspiration. My dad is 89 and also loves to talk about memories from the good ol' days. And I love to listen.
So thrilled to see this. I’ve long been impressed with Paul’s eloquence, and his searching mind. Thanks for publishing!
This post is a gift Paul..Thank you so much for your wisdom.
“My gracious uncomplaining wife tells me that’s my problem, not hers.” Simple beautiful writing.

Fortitude. Great attitude about his life.
If we could all be as satisfied as Paul seems to be at the age we were yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
I love his gratitude.
