Trial Kits Come in Many Shapes and Sizes

What do you immediately think of when you think of a “tackle box?”  I live near the lake. My son loves to go fishing. As you would expect, we have several tackle boxes in the garage.  I bet your first thought was fishing too.  I love to fish - frying up some “Blue Cat” with some homemade hushpuppies and coleslaw.  

“My” tackle box takes on a different vibe.  From my very first trial prep many moons ago, I struggled to find the perfect container to house all my trial supplies.  I needed a “catchall” for all the important and not so important “little” things. My son is the one who actually suggested using a tackle box.    Hands down, best idea ever!

My “tackle box” contains, but is not limited to - various trial supplies: exhibit stickers, cables, gaffer tape (fixed a broken high heel once with this – was not intended for this use but, when in Rome) a Mifi, a backup clicker for the backup clicker, a laser pointer no one ever uses,  batteries, stickies of all sizes and colors, a spare tie, mini lint roller, multiple colored highlighters, pens, a portable fan, travel size deodorant, a tiny bottle of Febreze, Tums (not the CVS brand – has to be the brand from Walgreens), Tylenol, Tick Tacks, and Tide pens. A few times it has housed a few lucky crystals, a pair of backup dentures and a tube of foot cream (don’t ask).
