Only quibble I have is that you forgot to sign yourself before starting. We were taught to do that at the crucifix rather than a creed. Also, we don't do anything on the chains. One nice way of doing the prayers comunally is to take it in turns for each decade being the "leader", who recites the first half of the prayers while the "responder(s)" recite the second half. Makes for a nice cadence, once everyone quits stumbling about! Padraic.
