Paul, CONGRATULATIONS!
For what it's worth, I do tend to talk (or should that be 'commentate') when I have passengers on board. Especially my better half, as she's a nervous flyer and having me provide a commentary on what I'm doing, when, and why, helps her to anticipate what's about to happen, and takes a lot of the fear and apprehension out of the experience. She's even starting to enjoy it.
