Correctable error was my fault

Maybe we can start a support group: Officials Who Have Difficulty Remembering Two Numbers. At our first meeting we can talk about calling a double foul, and keeping the colors, and numbers, straight.

For help in trying to remember multiple numbers, you have to use word and number association.

For example, if the DF is Blue #24, and Red #50, it should be easy, since Labatt's Blue has 24 pops in a case, and Molson does have their pop called "50" which has a red label.
