Two profs from a college in Georgia, I believe, are putting together a book of
just such pieces. I contributed one, which they said was just what they were
looking for. I have no idea how far they are along in the process of getting
it published, but I suspect it will be one of those wonderful things you put on
the shelf and pull out when you think your job is the pits.
If you'd like a copy of my contribution, email me privately.
