Friday Edition - November 14, 2025

Good morning, Member

Hey, hey, dear GrayViners! Friday is finally here! It’s been a hectic week on my end, and I’m hoping yours went a little smoother. I’m already looking forward to the weekend—I’m meeting some friends for lunch, and we’ve spent days trying to pick a place. Everyone has their own go-to spot! It got me thinking… Are you someone who likes trying new things, or do you stick with your reliable favorites? We’d love to know!

Now, let’s crack yesterday’s riddle. It was: I guard your eyes with gentle flair, a flutter soft beyond compare. With every blink, I wave my way. What am I that frames your gaze each day?

The answer is… eyelashes! Figured it out? Check if you’ve earned a shout-out!
