@Bill Spight
As for my next move, I am contemplating to start some complications via something like this:

It is true that the ko is a two step ko. But it is still big, and it is a picnic ko for White.
Oops! Edited Black to White.

All right, let's stir the pot. I aim to cut at e17 as well as to apply pressure against Black stone on L16.

Divide and conquer and all that jazz ...
This indirectly defends against a cut at the top too due to the thingy tesuji:

The advantage of playing the way I did is that I am ahead in the race along the right side. This may give me an option of attacking the Black stone near the bottom-right corner.
This seems like it completely abandons the idea and option of attacking L16 after the presumably unsurprising reply of P15. White does get to attack Q6 instead, but that stone is high and the right side seems to be devalued after all the low plays there. I do not understand.

OK. The moment of truth. I'll take some time to consider my next move, but "a" and "b" seem like natural follow-ups.

Also, I should try to make some sort of a score estimate. I'm confident that I was ahead in the opening. Later, I probably let topazg off the hook. Who's leading now?--I have no idea. But, better safe than sorry--right?--so how about I try to kill something really big?
