Small World

I was feeling a bit homesick on Easter Sunday, so I decided to open up the sun roof and go for a nice drive. I ended up  just North of Santa Barbara at the Camarillo Outlet Mall (surprise, surprise). I did my fair share of shopping, thanks to a giant sale at Banana Republic and ended my trip at the Adidas store to pick up new shoes for tennis. As I was browsing the aisles for shoes, I noticed a familiar face. As I searched further, I confirmed my suspicions. I ran into my old co-worker and main anchor of the TV news station I used to work at in Oregon. I hadn't seen Brian in almost two years and randomly enough, he was road tripping with his family and they stopped at the outlet mall as a pit stop. So, out of all the days to go shopping, I choose Sunday, out of all the places, I choose Camarillo and out of all the stores, I choose Adidas and out of all the times in the day, I choose late afternoon and I saw a face that reminded me of the great times I had in Southern Oregon. It was nice to play catch up and it was nice to be reminded that it really can be a small world after all.
