Yesterday I flew to central NY. The air was cool, dry and with a slight
bumpiness.  I had the cabin loaded with baggage so I was able to descend
from 11,500 at 188 kn.  The bumpiness was slight, but each time I hit it,
the plane felt squirrely, like it does at stall speeds.  Is this normal or
was I going too fast?
