For the 12th straight December, I will have the privilege …

WARNING: Lots of numbers forthcoming!!!!!!! I want to thank both Joe Sheehan (subscription required) and Derrick Goold for providing primers for today’s discussion, which is not all that different, BTW, from the discussions of the last couple of days.
