On go-around(from less than 20'), during clean up, and I make a quick PA to the folks about traffic didn't clear runway and we'd be on the ground again in about 5 minutes. Rough night, windshear, storms forecast but not at airport, so the folks are nervous.

Civilian pilot is amazed afterwards that I could make PA while flying a/c... no, we 'freeze' aircraft every time we make a radio call, and then 'unfreeze' it and start flying again.

Almost did two in a row, same flight, at JFK. Tower controller realized what was happening and stopped 31L departures and gave us a last minute change(about 1200') to 31L for landing.

Years, or decades, between go-arounds and almost had consecutive approaches end in go-arounds.
