Bob, no, my friend, you do not wish I was your instructor. Trust me.
Apparently, I have a 'kitchen voice' that I use when want something just so, with no screwing around. I love you too much to ever use the kitchen voice on you. I've used it on Lou a couple of times and each time he's threatened to take my cocktail away or not clean up after dinner. Either situation is unthinkable to me.
You'll do fine. It's like Doc said, when you get to a certain age, all the childish nonsense is over and you really can concentrate on learning.
