Of pens and needles


 In the 1980’s I was not only a road runner, but a race director. I always made sure all bases were covered down to the little details. Things went without a hitch. One year I decided to step aside and run the race instead of direct.

On race day I tried not to take over, but came unglued when no one thought to order pins for the numbers. A frantic run to an open store found only straight pens not safety pins.

I later felt bed for such harsh words to Tom and Kathy. 

The next year I ordered so many pins that even today I have a box full just in case.
