Next Generation

My daughter Maggie, who is 21, just spent a week working at a leadership development camp for high school students. I worked at the same camp when I was in college, over thirty years ago. One morning she met one of my former counselors and fellow teachers, who was touring the site, and called to tell me about it.

"Eliot says Hi," she reported.

"Oh my gosh, Eliot!" I replied. "He was my first and largest camp crush."

There was a moment of silence. Then Maggie said, "Wow, that is really hard to picture, because he's so old now."

Ba-dum CHING.
