All of life was simple to my father. You worked hard. You told the truth. You stayed faithful to your mate, family and business. You rested at times, and played and picnicked when appropriate, but never to excess.When bad things happened, you endured and persevered. No miraculous promises of being saved by the bell, Angels or rich uncles were on the horizon.But in between all this common sense stoicism and simple view of life, a philosophy emerged with more nuances than perhaps even he envisioned. It was a 'do the right thing and right things will prevail' life-view over all, but with laughter, surprises, friendships and love found along the way.At least that’s how it seemed to me.And since his first name was Nils, I was, literally, the son of....

    Hundreds of movies and thousands of books have been written about the heroes of World War II. For dozens of years, however, few people knew about one of the greatest heroes of the war—a mild-mannered, eccentric mathematician from the University of Cambridge. This man, an undeniable genius whose later life was plagued by controversy and tragedy, probably played a greater role in...

  • An Old-Fashioned Drowning
    Richard H. Nilsen / Richard HNilsen
    The past few years, dozens of intrepid folks (ambulatory but with what I suspect are less than healthy mental faculties) rush into the water in the channel between East and West Caroga Lakes for ?the Polar Plunge? on Jan. 1. They do this intentionally and with malice of forethought. I witness this event each year. Each year, even though I have Nordic genes and have been accused...

  • Caroga
    Richard H. Nilsen / Richard HNilsen
    Since I first came to Caroga Lake in 1949 when my parents bought a rustic camp on the north shore of West Caroga Lake, I have always been a bit in love with this area. When I graduated from seasonal to year-round resident in 1995 it became home sweet home. My selection of photos is, of course, arbitrary and makes no attempt to cover all aspects of our beautiful area. Still, y...

  • Short Rounds
    Richard H. Nilsen / Richard HNilsen
    Since Five Easy Pieces was already taken as a title, I guess Short Rounds will have to do. Also, it seems appropriate that, as of this writing, I have five published books in print. These five short stories can serve as a complementary addendum to those five books. I also include a short 'spiritual memoir' titled Faith Came Easy and two previously unpublished poems. I will try ...

  • An Old-Fashioned Hanging
    Richard H. Nilsen / Richard HNilsen
    The flies were the first thing that would have caught my attention. The drooping, sagging mass of flesh and the smell of urine and the bowels having let go were right up there in sensory overload, but the buzzing blue and green shining flies all over the body signaled there was no going back for this dude. From doing suicide on-call for more than a decade, I’ve seen my share of...

    Richard H. Nilsen / Richard HNilsen
    'What the...!' Zach started as he landed on all fours and put out his hand to see what he’d tripped on. What he tripped over shifted with his weight and the push of his hand until the face of his brother, Bobby, stared blankly up into the starlit night from where he lay in a heap. Zach brought his wet, glistening hand palm upwards for Rose to see and they both stared at Zach’s ...

  • Trying to Help People
    Richard H. Nilsen / Richard HNilsen
    From ’Trying to Help People’: 'Personally, I am on a journey of discovery when I compose a poem. I rarely have a plan or any idea what the finished product will look like. Often a bit of conversation, something I’ve heard on the radio or read in a newspaper will set me off on that voyage of discovery. ...
