The Ledger in the Notebook

“Twenty-seven fifty.” I wasn’t sure that I wanted to pay that much for a six pack of beer but I needed something to take to my friends’ house later that day and I was trying to strike that bourgeois balance between looking cheap and showing off. It had to be from a craft brewery (definitely not from a multi-national) and it had to be more than four dollars a can. My friends could be passively judgemental… or maybe I just assumed that they were.
