Above: Arabica coffee beans, which contain caffeine, a stimulant of the central nervous system. I'd suggest having some, 'cause today's kind of busy (see below).
Note: I've shamelessly bolded events that involve folks associated with the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing and/or UW-Madison's Program in Creative Writing, or who are loosely affiliated with those programs (and, in one case, features the mother of a former UW-Madison MFA student).

I'm coming really late to this post, so i have no idea if you'll even see this comment, but I graduated from the UW in 1982 with a degree in English and education, and I also took several creative writing classes as an undergrad--so, I'm connected, rather loosely, I guess, to you all, too.
