[C320-list] Was Sound Reducing Paint Reports, now 320 List Opinion

[Adam Weiner]

I've been unusually busy this year.  Besides my teaching the Navy has me
training culinary specialists (including they are flying me to Pearl
Harbor on Friday and then I am riding a destroyer back to San Diego to
train people on board), I have been elected to the Board of Directors
Chefs Association of the Pacific Coast, I have been writing a monthly
column for The Culinarian, and I have overall just been busier then last
year.  

Adam

Gee Adam, only the 35th time sailing this year?  And all this time I
thought you went out a lot...
