bjessee: I looked at Rxg2 and Nxf4, but I thought Qg8+ and Rxd4 avoiding the knight fork was sufficient. I guess I should have looked deeper. Declining to take the bishop does white no better. At least I started on the right track.

bjessee: I think al wazir is right; it seems hard not to win. I knew my solution could not be the right one for a Monday, but the first I tried was 30. Bxf6 which works as well. The best I saw for black was
30...Qxf6
31. Rh8+ Qxh8 (Kg7 32. Qh7#)
32. Qxe6+ Kg7 (or Rf7 33. Qxf7#)
33. ...

bjessee: What an attack. It seemed like the pressure never let up. There were so many different kinds of mating threats. <think>, after 16... xf2 17.  d5

bjessee: <the whole point of 12...Bh3 is that mate threat, so attacking queen doesnt achieve anything.> except that Bh5 pins the queen to the black king.

bjessee: "Laylo, Darwin won't you ease my worried mind"
Much like everything else, this game would have been better with a Duane Allman solo.
