With all the talk about identity recently, somehow I missed one of the very central categories for me, although plenty of the characters I discussed fall into it in some way or another

Claiming eccentricity is another great one! That's exactly how I survived a decade in rural Ohio. "Local eccentric" can create a remarkable amount of space to be oneself in a small community, and I've always loved that role. It's how I survive my office, too.

The women in our family are so much more interesting than the guys. Add in our great aunt who turned out to be a very good shot with a shotgun when it was needed and we've no shortage of tales to tell.

Ah, very true... Forgot about her.
