I proudly admit that one of my favorite movies is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  I quote from it regularly because it has so many terrific one liners.  I especially like the one when the snooty Maitre D in the restaurant looks at Ferris  and says, ”I weep for the future!”  This is an obvious, hilarious, statement of his concern about the future generation.  Ironically, just I heard a story that makes me think that the Maitre D’s statement could  apply to Millennials today.   I was in the middle of a conversation with my granddaughter when my phone rang.  It was my best friend Richard.  I didn’t answer - granddaughters always take precedence.   However, within 10 minutes he had called three more times.  And three more times I refused to answer, although I begin to grow concerned that something bad had happened.  After all, we are in our late sixties.  Did he have a heart attack?  Car wreck? Was it COVID?  Broken hip from a fall?  Adult acne?   So I hit redial, hoping nothing catastrophic ha
