U.S.S. North Carolina

I’m over in Wilmington, N.C., and it’s pretty nice for mid-November. Today we toured the World War II battleship North Carolina, which is docked along the Cape Fear River. We were very fortunate to have a 80+ year old veteran crewman show us around. The guy probably knows as much about the ship as anyone alive, and you can’t beat good first-hand oral history. It was great.
I’ll likely hit the beach either tomorrow or Saturday. I haven’t seen the ocean in several years. It always makes me feel really small. Hey, there’s something to look forward to.
