Black wins by about 1 stone

I just played this game on IGS. I know, I know. I won by 23.5 pts., but I still make mistakes 
If White were just a bit more skillful than shown in this game, I would've lost. So please analyze the game and let me know if I still have any of the same pesky habits as before. Much obliged in advance for your kind commentary.

feels like a rather big move to tenuki to me. I certainly wouldn't tenuki this without the stone at S3. (Actually, in response to 
, I would have immediately played R3.)
is the wrong idea. Kick at P17, and deny white access to the corner, and he will find it difficult to make a base because of the stone at K16. Similarly with 
(though C3 is okay). At 
I would hane to continue to attack the group (and make 5th line territory!).
: H17 applies more pressure. It's not a trivial fight, but white should either die or give you a lot of thickness. 
gave you bad shape.
is bad.
: don't contest a stone - kill the F3 group!
at B5 (then A5, B3, A4, A2 threatens life in the corner, and after white B1 prevents it, D1 makes a ko for the white group on the outside - via white E1, C1, F2, E2, E3, G1 if I haven't misread, because anything else looks like white suicide - but either way, you should try!).
