Pumped up from Orchestra practice (timpanist)

I play timpani in this little town's symphony orchestra. We have 52 members; there are 20,000 people in the County (931,000 acres); we sell out every show (430+ people).

So, I get back from a kick-ares practice, all pumped up, and the wife wants me to relax and just go to bed. After playing Dvorak's 8th Symphony, you are bubbling. Maybe like after your first deer (wouldn't know).

So, that's the story. All pumped up!

    Sounds fun. I played Beethovens 7th and 8th symphonies last weekend and I couldnt get to sleep afterwards. Like Caffeine.
