"Luck is a very thin wire between survival and disaster, and not many people can keep their balance on it." - Hunter S. Thompson We never really celebrated Father's Day when my dad was alive. But I think a lot about luck, now that he's gone. I've never understood Luck. I've never understood why the same week I went to Hawaii, my parents lost their home and the kid I went to high school with was stabbed and left to die on the Union Pacific tracks. Luck, I guess. My old man, he was a man of principle. Me, I'm just a survivor. My only allegiance is to the things that help me survive.

"So I get that all these bars donate $1 per Negroni sold to charity, but couldn't I achieve the same end result if I just wrote a check for $167 to a charity?" "Well yeah, but - wait, how many Negronis did you have this week?!" @toughluckbar's CDMX Negroni combines three of my favorite things: Campari, Mezcal & Fernet. #negroniweek #negroniweek2018 #toughluckbar #fernetvallet

@hannah_pare's "Modern Romance" Negroni at @theoldgoldpdx is crisp & refreshing, like a walk in the rain on a spring night. Which coincidentally is what I had to do to get this shot. #negroniweek #negroniweek2018 #modernromance

Solo Club's "Built to Last" ... just like my liver. #negroniweek #negroniweek2018 #negroniweekpdx

There are two times a year when Portlanders update their Tinder pictures: Halloween... and @negronisocial. 😂 📷: @lilzestypdx 🤵🏻: Mr. Formal's Clearance Bin #negronisocial2018 #negronisocial #pdxnegroniweek #newtinderpic
