I have run out of verbs to describe Apple’s performance, as quarter after quarter, year after year, they post record sales and profits. In the…

_Dear Friends,_ It is snowing out and the temperatures have warmed up from well below zero for a couple days. We have a Siberian air mass headed our way with the severe cold coming back this weekend. Things just seem to break when it gets this cold for an extended period of time. On Monday…
