good fathers

I was blessed with two kind and compassionate father figures; my dad, Ole Olsson, and my (maternal) gramp, Helmer Swensen. Many of my fondest memories include these two characters and a lively poker game. Happy Father's Day, Ole and Sven. I like to imagine you somewhere out there raising a chilled glass of Coors, snacking on pickled herring, and playing a hand of Smear.
