The Dog That Did Impersations
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
