Good morning Member

Welcome to another Monday! I hope your weekend had a little rest, a little fun, and maybe even a slice of pie. Did you know, when I was younger, I used to spend hours tinkering with old radios just to see how they worked? I didn’t always get them back together the right way, but the curiosity was the fun part. 😅

What about you? What’s one thing you’d love to know more about, just for fun? It doesn’t have to be practical; maybe it’s how to paint like Bob Ross or how magicians pull off their tricks. Share your answer in today’s forum—I’ll be reading every single one!

Now let’s solve last Friday’s Word Unscramble: R A C E M A, which is actually camera! Shout-out to our Word Wizards who solved it.

Today, unscramble this: M A L R I N E

Think you’ve got it? Drop your guess in the forum and you could be included in our shout-out tomorrow. Alright, GrayViners, let’s stretch out those shoulders, sip that coffee (or tea), and dive into today’s stories together.
