Tuesday Edition - February 24, 2026
Good morning Member
Happy Tuesday, GrayViners! I watched Frequency last night, a movie about a son who unexpectedly connects with his late father through an old radio and gets the chance to speak with him across time. This leads to second chances and words that were never spoken when they mattered most. It got me thinking about the conversations we wish we could still have. So here’s my question for you: If you could make a call like that, who would you choose to reach, and what would you want to tell them? Share it with us in the forum—we’d love to hear your stories. 💛

Saturn in Daylight
This beautiful photo shows Saturn in daylight, its pale rings softly visible against a bright blue sky just before sunset.
