My greatest triumph!

Sorry. I can't resist. John Carson, a fellow runner from Canada, unearthed this photo from the archives of the Toronto Star. It's the finals of the 1500 meters at the Ontario 14-year-old championships, many many years ago. The runner on the left is Dave Reid, who was the greatest Canadian miler of his generation. I will only say this: in this particular race, Reid placed second. I "retired" from competitive running a year later, in large part because I realized that the particular statistical fluke represented by me beating Dave Reid was unlikely to ever be repeated. (For the runners out there, I believe I ran something like 4:05.)

Heck of a job there, it asblouetly helps me out.

Repeating Triumphs... Wonderful analogy.

By contrast to your career in running, as an author, you have discovered how to repeat your triumphs.

You have tackled incredible questions and come up with meaningful answers.

I look forward to working with you on your next project. You are the perfect person--perhaps the only person--who can pull off my project. Your past projects analyzed progressions over time. For my project, you are needed to analyze progressions into the future, using past data in a way that no one has ever done before. Hint: Regressions and growth curves are becoming passe!
