Pretty interesting move. I don't have a good response to it, no matter which direction I pick.
$$c The usual
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$c The usualThis common sequence gives me the corner, but White gets to ruin my center moyo with a solid group, that will likely connect to the lone stone.
$$c Pincer
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$c Pincer or a would be over concentrated, and again threaten to connect and ruin the center
There is also protecting the corner with B16 or C16, but it seems to be focusing on the wrong area.
So, I jump out first and wait for his reply.

I cannot capture right away. Below is one possible variation.
So I just continue to reinforce my stones in bottom right.
$$Wc
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$WcThe move in the game puts more pressure on the corner, so Black might respond locally. It is also better for making shape.
If I jump to

$$Wc
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$WcI admit I'm not reading anything amazing after my kosumi in the game. Perhaps this move will confuse Black a little.
I will figure out what to do next after he responds.

I don't know why Black played there. He should have run instead.
I have some forcing moves against the corner

I'm expecting this sequence:

Or so I hope.

Am I missing something? Here's how I read it
$$Bc
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$BcI'm not reading farther than this. It might turn into a capturing race but it doesn't look bad for White.
As for my move in the game, since I don't see how this could be bad for me, there is no way I could let Black connect there.

So far, as expected. I'm still not sure what to play next. Maybe one of the letter moves below:
