Thanks again to both.

I'm so happy to hear you say that. I've always been puzzled by the "show don't tell" advice, even though I understand how it might be better in some situations to show vs. tell. Same, too, with incorporating abstractions. Done well, abstractions can be powerful catalysts to understanding, imo.
