What Are The Chances?!!

After a very full day at the Stampede and all the action we are ready to find a spot for some dinner. Jen has in mind a place where she has a reservation for 9 pm but we are ready to have a break at 7 pm so head over there. What are the chances? 1. There are hundreds of restaurants near the Stampede - we pick Model Milk. 2. We have a reservation for a table inside, but we are early and can only have a table on the outside patio right by the sidewalk on the street. 3. We are ready to go, but Przem says he would like another beer and we are not in a hurry so we lounge on the patio a little longer in the sunshine, watching the street characters. 4. Along comes a nice looking dude who stands and looks at us - what are the chances? It is Shawn Dailey from Aldershot - he went to school with Christine from kindergarten to grade 13 and he has been like part of our family in that group of friends for over 30 years!!! His sister and Jen were best buddies through high school. We cannot believe it. Shawn is stunned too; he thought he recognized Rip first then saw the rest of us and put it all together. I thought to myself, "this guy looks like Shawn but it can't be". He invites us to his condo nearby and open a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate. Shawn move to Calgary for work 4 years ago. He was back in Burlington in May for his parent's 50th wedding anniversary and we didn't see him then even though his parents live 2 km from us, but here we are in Calgary and our paths connect. What Are The Chances??!!
