A Grecian ode
Who says there aren’t any honorable people left in the world?
Recently, I had lunch with a friend at Alexis Greek Restaurant, 9834 Tampa Ave., Northridge. She had the vegetable plate; I ordered the gyro sandwich with a side of french fries.
The gyro was like none I had ever seen: instead of wafer-thin slices of meat, it came with slabs of deliciously spicy meat that must have been a quarter-inch thick, tucked in a soft, warm flour wrap with a generous dollop of yogurt sauce. Don’t ask me how I ate the whole thing, but I did -- every blissful bite.
About 9 p.m., while working a late shift at the office, I got a call from Frank, my fiance, who was cat-sitting. (My three spoiled furballs still expect to be fed on time.) I had left my cell phone behind at the restaurant, and someone at the restaurant had found it, looked up “HOME� in my phone’s address book and called to tell me about it! I picked it up the next day (and left a tip for the finder.)
