 The $n$-manifolds are the ``$n$-dimensional graph" and the $I$ direction of the mapping cylinders is the ``fat" part.
 We regard two such fat graphs as the same if there is a homeomorphism between them which is the 
 identity on the boundary and which preserves the 1-dimensional fibers coming from the mapping

 In terms of the ``sequence of surgeries" picture, this says that if two successive surgeries
 do not overlap, we can perform them in reverse order or simultaneously.
 
-\nn{operad structure (need to ntro mroe terminology above}
+There is an operad structure on $n$-dimensional fat graphs, given by gluing the outer boundary
+of one graph into one of the inner boundaries of another graph.
+We leave it to the reader to work out a more precise statement in terms of $M_i$'s, $f_i$'s etc.
+
+For fixed $\ol{M} = (M_0,\ldots,M_k)$ and $\ol{N} = (N_0,\ldots,N_k)$, we let
+$FG^n_{\ol{M}\ol{N}}$ denote the topological space of all $n$-dimensional fat graphs as above.
+The topology comes from the spaces
+\[
+	\Homeo(M_0\to R_1\cup M_1)\times \Homeo(R_1\cup N_1\to R_2\cup M_2)\times
+			\cdots\times \Homeo(R_k\cup N_k\to N_0)
+\]
+and the above equivalence relations.
+We will denote the typical element of $FG^n_{\ol{M}\ol{N}}$ by $\ol{f} = (f_0,\ldots,f_k)$.
+
+
+\medskip
+
+Let $\ol{f} \in FG^n_{\ol{M}\ol{N}}$.
+Let $\hom(\bc_*(M_i), \bc_*(N_i))$ denote the morphisms from $\bc_*(M_i)$ to $\bc_*(N_i)$,
+as modules of the $A_\infty$ 1-category $\bc_*(E_i)$.
+We define a map
+\[
+	p(\ol{f}): \hom(\bc_*(M_1), \bc_*(N_1))\ot\cdots\ot\hom(\bc_*(M_k), \bc_*(N_k))
+				\to \hom(\bc_*(M_0), \bc_*(N_0)) .
+\]
+Given $\alpha_i\in\hom(\bc_*(M_i), \bc_*(N_i))$, we define $p(\ol{f}$ to be the composition
+\[
+	\bc_*(M_0)  \stackrel{f_0}{\to} \bc_*(R_1\cup M_1)
+				 \stackrel{\id\ot\alpha_1}{\to} \bc_*(R_1\cup N_1)
+				 \stackrel{f_1}{\to} \bc_*(R_2\cup M_2) \to
+				 \cdots  \stackrel{\id\ot\alpha_k}{\to} \bc_*(R_k\cup N_k)
+				 \stackrel{f_k}{\to} \bc_*(N_0)
+\]
+(Recall that the maps $\id\ot\alpha_i$ were defined in \nn{need ref}.)
+It is easy to check that the above definition is compatible with the equivalence relations
+and also the operad structure.

-The components of the $n$-dimensional fat graph operad are indexed by tuples
-$(\overline{M}, \overline{N}) = ((M_0,\ldots,M_k), (N_0,\ldots,N_k))$.
-\nn{not quite true: this is coarser than components}
-Note that the suboperad where $M_i$, $N_i$ and $R_i\cup M_i$ are all homeomorphic to 
-the $n$-ball is equivalent to the little $n{+}1$-disks operad.
-\nn{what about rotating in the horizontal directions?}

-If $M$ and $N$ are $n$-manifolds sharing the same boundary, we define
-the blob cochains $\bc^*(A, B)$ (analogous to Hochschild cohomology) to be
-$A_\infty$ maps from $\bc_*(M)$ to $\bc_*(N)$, where we think of both
-collections of complexes as modules over the $A_\infty$ category associated to $\bd A = \bd B$.
-The ``holes" in the above 
-$n$-dimensional fat graph operad are labeled by $\bc^*(A_i, B_i)$.
