Chance Meeting on the Champs-Élysées
Friday was a free day in Paris, and sight-seeing was on my agenda. I visited the Louvre in the morning, and I was headed up the Champs-Élysées to see the Arc de Triumphe in the mid-afternoon. Halfway up the avenue, I heard someone say, "Hey, Sean Baird!" What!?!? Who knows me in Paris?? When I turned around, it was "BJ," Bradford Jamieson. And then he yelled, "Hey Corey," and there he was. Wow!
Within the next five minutes, the entire team was there. What an incredible surprise – and completely chance meeting – it was. It's a long story, but it was such a winding road that brought me to that location at that exact instant in time. If I was 30 seconds earlier or later, chances are that I don't see anyone. It was only ten or fifteen minutes, but I loved it!
