Narrative:
While following an aircraft for landing, I held my checklist at 15 degrees flaps for speed reduction. Waiting for the landing aircraft to clear the runway, I forgot to lower the gear and flaps. There was touchdown at the numbers, only the right propeller slightly hitting the pavement. Slight nose-up, applied power and observed landing gear handle up and lights off. Advanced power for go around. I was carried away by an argument that I had before boarding my aircraft.
