I don't know why this bothered me so much. Maybe because I hate having to
sit down with a pencil and draw diagrams though that's how I spend most of
my time trying to make sense of life. Usually it's more complicated than
Ursula's relationship thingamagig, usually it's something like: my mother's
father's brother's cousin's great-aunt by marriage. As best I can guess
Ursula's grandmother is Martha and one of her sons is her father who also
fathered another daughter, Ursula's sister. People should be numbered. The
army had it right.

I came across a note I made to myself (in that commonplace book) about this
poem by Rudyard Kipling. My note was kind of cryptic, but I think the poem
was mentioned by Eric in a discussion about funeral planning. I made the
note as a reminder to look up the poem, which I have now done. Thanks,
Eric. I enjoyed.
