Glad you enjoyed it!

And I'm really glad I went looking for it. It's an essay I've had around for awhile and I have thought off and on that I would try to publish it someplace, but better it be here being read (one hopes) than sitting on my laptop doing nothing.

I like what you say above about this resembling an artistic performance. I haven't done much in the way of performance, especially with others like a musical performance, but I see where trust and timing and learning to read each other would be very important.
