Is my engine too hot?

89 civic. Is my engine too hot? After 10 min driving, park it and
open the hood and all I feel from is "damn it my engine too hot"
Today I picked up the oil dip and checked the oil. It was so hot I
drop the dip stick. Definitely the end of the stick was hot.
Do you think this is normal? I remember a mechanic guy told me
don't be surprise by hot engine. My temp gauage is basically
normal. I ask a simply question is this a normal thing or my
car is overheating...
