This is excellent:
http://ertes.de/articles/monads.html Thanks! I'll start reading that page immediately.
I noticed that this tutorial points to the following blog:

Wow! The author of this blog has nailed it. Trust me, I know, I was a math teacher for years (a *good* teacher, based on student reviews). The author of this blog is exactly right about why most tutorials about abstract concepts are no help (and why so many math teachers are bad).
Thanks! =) You may also be interested in taking a look at the Typeclassopedia, in issue 13 of the Monad.Reader. http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/The_Monad.Reader -Brent
