Our late brother Tim was an expert at statistical analysis. And I’m no slouch at it myself having spent a big chunk of my career doing financial analysis, which is just statistics as applied to corporate numbers, and having taken and thrived in several courses in statistics and calculus (that branch of mathematics that deals with statistics) in college and grad school, I’ve become rather disheartened by how so very many people (who really should know better), especially in the media, have interpreted and characterized the recent political polls as showing so many races as dead heats. They are not.

Dear Tim ...
A Final Letter To My Dear Departed Older Brother Timothy Grogan Who, at 71, Passed Away On September 14, 2022:
Dear Tim,
Oh, I’ve written this salutation to you so many times in the decades following you leaving home for college. There were many letters to Grand Rapids and New York, not only during the college years but well beyond – during the two years I was laid up at home following my accident in Boston, my years struggling to break into film in Los Angeles, my grad school experience at USC and, of course, aerospace. And then Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I wrote you very long letters talking about everything. I talked about the interviews I was having with production companies in Hollywood, I talked about the story ideas for screenplays I was working on. And you didn’t just hastily scan these letters. I could tell that you read them carefully because your feedback was always detailed.
