Thanks Phillip. It's interesting to read people's approach and know, like yours, that to some extent, I tried them.

I guess it feels bad to not get this right yet but good to know I'm trying the right things.

Perhaps I need to follow your suggestions slower and more repetitively for them to stick in the 'ole noggin.

It's not so much practice that makes perfect, it's correct repetition, which takes practice.
