George ,
At one time when watching the tele in the evening I would have an M camera 
in hands and as soon as the useless commercials came up I started snap 
focusing at various things about the family room.
It becomes absolutely second nature as though one was born with the instinct 
and you never think about focusing when out shooting. It's camera up, focus, 
click faster than I can type this.
And without question "Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice  makes all the 
difference in handling any camera.
