Creature Comforts
It was a dark and stormy night when I drove from a client in Altoona to
onein Pittsburgh last fall. I settled into my room at the Hampton Inn cold,
wet, and hungry. When I've made this trip in the past, I would set off on
foot to find dinner near the University of Pittsburgh campus about a half
mile away.
Tonight was not a night for walking in the rain, and I didn't want to move
my car from what might have been the last available spot in the hotel's
lot. (The overflow lot was a couple of blocks away.)
All was not lost! On the hotel room desk was a booklet from a restaurant
delivery service! I paged through it hungrily and found the menu from a
Lebanese restaurant I visited on my last trip. I called, placed an order,
and was eating a delicious dinner of hummus, baba ganouj, tabouli, and
lentil stew about a half hour later!
To get above the $10 minimum charge, I ordered more food than I could
finish. I re-wrapped what I didn't eat and put it in my car the next
morning to stay cool as I headed out on foot to explore the area. The
leftovers made a delicious late lunch!
I had to pay the delivery charge and tip the driver, but it was worth it
not having to go out again into the cold rain!
Love you show!
