I'm happy for Ben Brown. So far this year he's been one of the most productive pitchers in MLB (lots of Baseball Savant red). It's been fun watching him morph into a 4-pitch pitcher with a new sinker and changeup. And I'm very curious to see how he continues to evolve.
I just got a Venmo request for $3.40 from a guy named Craig.
Craig and I went to a group dinner on Thursday.
I didn't sit near Craig or speak a single word to him.
Craig ordered a steak and three margaritas while I had a side salad and tap water.
When the bill came, someone yelled to just split it evenly and I paid $85 for my lettuce.
Now Craig is requesting $3.40 because he calculated the tip wrong and feels he overpaid.
I could decline it.
But Craig is the VP of Sales and I'm a middle manager.
So I paid the $3.40 and added a little heart.
I hope Craig chokes on his next margarita.
