I used to play a lot when I was a undergrad at Berkeley and early in grad school, but then things got too busy. Since then I've played a game here or there, but nothing regular. I recently turned 40 and one thing I decided to do was to try to play somewhat seriously again. I created a KGS account and have played a few games, with mixed success. Aside from some obvious rust, I feel like my game has no flow - I've somehow forgotten how to think coherently about what I'm doing. I know that's vague. Anyway, here's a game I played today - I'd appreciate any advice on what aspects of my play need the most work, or if that's too hard to tell, just any comments on any of the moves. I know that later in the game I started playing too fast and stopped thinking.

58 & 60: white still has tactical problems (liberty shortage, black can connect underneath). F10 or G9 directly is better, I think.

I don't like white's position by 24 (Edit: it's probably not that bad, I just don't like it). I think I wouldn't play the kick at 16 when the D10 stone already has a black stone on the other side of it. For 24 I might try another plan, playing around D6 to seal in. 30 seems like a coffee break, I think you should help the group in the middle before you go after the cash.
