Just Your Average Oddball

Posted on August 27, 2021September 4, 2021 by Steve Ainslie

After 53 years, I finally came to the realization that I’m just an ordinary, average guy and an unremarkable man.

And then, I learned from looking at the 2020 US census data that I’m also part of a number of minority groups:

    • Raised by a single mother 
    • Mixed race family
    • High income no college degree
    • No health insurance
    • Widowed

Then I thought, “How else am I different from the majority?” and came up with this list:

    • Retired early at 52
    • Eat a carnivore diet
    • Frugal
    • Exercise and fitness freak
    • Live Alone
    • Self taught drummer and painter
    • Swimmer
    • Walk 2.5 hours a day
    • Relocated 20+ times. 

You know what? I am a weirdo. 

And that’s just the way I like it.
