Nice!

have you ever wanted to ask someone so many questions that you draw a blank?

Yes, I decided to come up with questions in advance and write them down. Then look at the list before the conversation, really helps if you have a limited amount of time.

Wow, that looks way better than the USS North Carolina exhibit in my hometown.  I wish that the NC had more of the history that the battleship was involved in.  Overall I was very disappointed with what they had to offer.
