My @chronicle story on profs in their 90s (below) led to a new podcast "Age, Creativity, and Culture." We discuss language change, like "cap/no cap." Thanks to my millennial sons, their Gen Z cousin, & @NewBooksNetwork: https://t.co/eWoVHxYaKU

About Gross Breesen, a German farm school that saved my father. Now in Poland, it's a golf club and spa, and not interested in its history. https://t.co/9YKClaKA6V
