Sam expressed interest is seeing my "newfangled" airship, The Enterprise, so I arranged for a private tour.
Not that it's hard when you're the Captain.
She was surprised that the blueprints were in German but I reminded her that I met Ferdinand von Zeppelin in 1863 when he acted as an observer for the Union Army Balloon Corps during the American Civil War.
I like to think I helped spur his interest in dirigibles and flight, so when I asked for my own little zeppelin he was happy to oblige.
Sam, Ruth, and Josefina Ester seem impressed with my floating bookmobile. Sam wants to know if I can fly them (including Uncle Gard) back home to New York once they're ready to leave the World's Fair.
I don't know if she'll be so eager once she finds out how cold it can get up there....
