Then I changed my major and decided I should get a job that was more applicable to genealogy. Good thing was, in that major and in that job I got to continue my focus on making connections.
And here's an interesting web, if you want to call it that. First, the explanation, and then the diagram that I created in Paint.
My freshman year, I dated a chap named Bryce. On an occasion, we ran into his second cousin, Gloria. As it turns out, Gloria is first cousins with Abe who is first cousins with Eric on the other side. Also, Gloria recently married Carl, whom Janssen dated at the beginning of freshman year, until he broke up with her to start dating Gloria. See the circle? Do you love it? Oh, you don't see it? Here's the diagram:
Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds this immensely humorous.

Let it be known that I requested this diagram. I felt Sherry's descriptions of the "connections" within this group of people reminded me of a Shakespearian play too much not to demand an illustration to go with them. Demand I did. Produce she did. Credit me as muse, she did not. So I march in now in my proverbial pomp to announce "I, I was the catalyst for this post!"
Haha! Oh yeah, it's all about making connections. Go Frac Attack! Thanks for the info about foreign internet service.
Nice diagram. I love the hearts. Kind of symbolic of how love is a messy thing.
Interesting addendum: Gloria was the one who first introduced me to Abe (for people who don't know who ME is, ME is Abe's wife). She always likes to add that piece in when we tell people our "how we met" story. But just a few weeks ago, we realized that Abe was actually the one who first introduced Gloria to Carl. There is something very zen about that.
