I learned about this, which is pretty interesting. This guy sums it up better than I can.

Today I also learned that nobody wants to hear about my old man stories of rock and roll bands. My stories probably sound like somebody's great-great grandpa talking about the time before cars and how he could really rock the euphonium.
I think maybe I'll buy a cane today.

Today I learned that old guys talking about their old time rock and roll bands is like listening to some great great grandpa talking about the time before cars and how he could rock a euphonium. Then he yelled at me to get off his lawn.

On the the “What did I learn today”?
Hmm. Just waking up on a lazy Saturday with my wife.It sunny and around 63 degrees outside. Just flashed on last part of chorus of “You can’t always get what you want”.....Goes like this ..”But if you try sometimes, well, you might find, You get what you need“

Was all set up for some good ol' learning today … Got distracted

Many of us hate to be distracted, but then again, in the digital age the main way to get someone’s attention is to distract them away from some other focus.

The Nazi Brigadeführer who got away had a son who eventually gave the game away.

In recent years, British author and human rights barrister Philippe Sands formed an unlikely friendship with an old gentleman named Horst Wachter.

Horst is the son of a Nazi war criminal, and he's still living in a tumbledown old castle near Vienna.

During WWII his father Otto was made governor of the city of Lviv, and he was responsible for the deaths of many thousands of people, including more than 80 of Philippe’s relatives.

After the war, Otto Von Wachter disappeared without a trace.

Then a few years ago, Horst gave Philippe access to a vast trove of family documents that directed him to the story of the infamous Ratline …
