are having a hard time being focused as well, violin player ad the piccolo player especially.

But now I know what I look like "conducting" - I'm taling about the soloist!1

Flawless performance, engrossing to watch. A virtuoso of her instrument.

morning coffee. Thanks. Needed the laugh. By the way,
I was USN and spent some time in the mid 70's in Ogden.

My LST in Vietnam was actually built for WW II and there we were living on it in the river in Vietnam 30 years later, not minding the leaks or the three times rockets hit us (during my year). My second ship, USS Seattle, was brand new, built in Bremerton, WA, where we lived in apartments in Seattle for seven months until it was finished, then shakedown down the coast, stopping at Acapulco, through the Panama canal, six weeks tooling off the coast of Gitmo, Liberty in Haiti (yes, Liberty there) and New Orleans, and finally stopping at Mayport, FL, before ending up at homeport of Norfolk, VA. Then I got shore duty for my final seven months, while the Seattle went away to duty in the Med.

Speaking of coffee, we had a shipmate who would empty back what was left of his coffee into the pot, if we didn't watch him.
