I went thru one of our desk drawers tonight looking for something and along the way I decided to go through our overflowing ball point pen collection and get rid of some of them. We have 25, all perfectly functioning, ball point pens.
First I tried each one, and they all worked perfectly. I will definitely keep the one pen with 4 colors. I will also keep the combination pen and mini-flashlight.
That gets me down to 23. I have a couple with my name and address and professional information that I want to keep, and a couple with my wife's real estate sales connections.
Now at 19, what to cut and what to keep?????? Found another pen with my name and avocation on it, it's a keeper, now down to 18. One pen to my computer desk, down to 17.
Time to go to bed, will see what my wife says tomorrow.
