[English] Important .. New English List Information

[Kathy Skidmore]

If you could see your way clear to work on "The Story of Tom Brennan" it
would be great! We've used it successfully this semester. I sympathise with
your uni workload, too! I agree with your "reimagining" concept - I remember
the idea of "work smarter, not harder" having some currency ten years ago -
it seems we didn't do much about it in the long term! It would be an
interesting avenue to explore.
Cheers
