I agree with Ted, it is an excellent sequence.

But it brings back memories for me. Shortly after we married in 1965,  
my wife and I attended a conference in Scottsdale, AZ. Our host was  
an avid skeet shooter and took us out to the range to try our luck.  
My sweet, demure wife, shooting a shotgun for the first time, hit 21  
out of 25 clay birds, including a double. This provided a powerful  
incentive to me not to ever consider straying.
