I saw Saints and Soldiers today (netflix). I'm sure everyone here has already seen it, but if not, it's worth a look. Not the best movie I have ever seen but good. I enjoyed the small scope of it. Just 4 guys wondering around in the woods. No over the top battle scenes (for the most part). I'd give it 3 stars (a Lt General

)

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A 59-year-old German man who has spent the last 34 years in jail has turned down offers to be let out, an official said on Saturday.
"He rejected an offer to leave in 1992," Thomas Melzer, a spokesman for the Brandenburg state justice ministry, told Bild newspaper. "We can't do anything if someone sentenced to life in prison doesn't want to leave."
The man, identified only as Gerold H, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1972 when the area was part of communist East Germany.
German prisoners have no obligation to agree to leave jail before their sentences have been completed.

There is probably a deep socioeconomic moral here somewhere...but after that its just amusing. Jails in Germany must be pretty nice places.

Of course. This is very important in the life of a grandfather.

My daughter just had her final swim meet as a high school swimmer yesterday. It brings to an end 8 years as a high school swim parent (4 for my son and 4 for my daughter). I am getting old

The GF unit and I both have an account. There is nothing like coming home after a long days work and finding a movie in your mailbox.

Just think about it: when he went to jail Communism was alive and kicking... he probably thinks that he won't be able to survive on his own in this hostile capitalist environment.
