incredible!

I am about to leave for work.

But first I need to call Captial One to report my employee credit card missing. Last night when I had tried calling they weren't open.

I'm about to dial (probably not a correct usage of the word anymore) when my cell phone rings.

A number I don't recognize pops up. Maybe a customer?

"Lyn?  Hi, my name is Gene (some unfamiliar last name). I found your wallet."

OMG. I can't believe it.

I ask him where. "Just now,  on the street, corner of 79th and First."

Last night I had gone back to the area where my Via had dropped me off and looked all over the area. I found nothing.

My wallet sat out all night, on the street, unnoticed. From about 8pm until 11 this morning.

And then, someone, who is going to church across from where I live finds it and calls me.

I meet Gene at the top of the church stairs. He is holding my wallet. I give him a big hug, I am so overwhelmed.

Whoever doesn't love New Yorkers just doesn't know them!
