A life well living. The opening picture of you and your granddaughter tells a story. If instead somehow, it was a picture of you holding yourself as a child, it would tell your story. Both lovely.
My 92-year-old father would love to talk and be friends with 90-year-old Ammi Kohn. As Ammi noted, it's hard to find like-minded, active nonagenarians.
Wow. The difference between this interview with the (almost) 90-year-old Ammi Kohn and the recent interview with the 74-year-old poet couldn’t be more striking. I love this about Oldster. Such a wide variety of experiences and perspectives on getting older, some saddening and others, like this, joyful and inspiring. It makes for a rich reading experience, every time. Ammi is a person I’d like to meet! What a delight to spend a few moments with him this morning.
I love his line appreciating “the male equivalent of wearing purple.” I’d like to hear from more men about what this is for them. Maybe their reflections could benefit today’s young men who struggle with isolation and constraints of a rigid view of masculinity.
Mazel tov, Popster! It was such a joy to work with you on your book. I'm proud to call you my aging idol. Can't wait to see what you do next. Love, Gamine
I’m more than 30 years younger & will now use him as an older person to model myself after. Also, Mel Brooks’ 200 year old man routine might be the funniest thing I ever heard.
Mehitabel! Yes! "I am no bum sport, Archy!"
This interview was an absolute delight.
“The male equivalent of wearing purple.” Yes!
Wow! What a joy to read. An inspiring life filled with curiosity and adventure. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm beyond lucky to be one of the "tech-savvy youngsters" in Ammi's life. May we all channel our inner Ammi's today and every day!
Yes, lucky him, lucky you!
What a delightful reflection of living life well.
What an amazing life you’ve lived! This was a very inspirational read and I can only hope to be half as cool as you are!

Have a fantastic 90th.

WHERE DOES YOUR FATHER LIVE? TELL HIM I WOULD BE FINE WITH AN EMAIL.

SO...WHERE DOES HE LIVE?

Wow. I couldn't love this more! The zest! The equanimity. The joy. These are clearly the secrets to being this vibrant at 90 (and um, at 34...!).

Hey Lauren, Such great fun collaborating with the mother of my great grandchild!
See you at the Big Birthday Bash.

Thank you so much for bringing your wonderful grandfather my way, Lauren! ❤️
I'm so glad it worked out! What a joy!

Bravo! Made my day.
As a civil servant I love this story. Would also love to read this play!
