Friday Edition
Happy Friday, everyone! Ah, Friday: it always seems to creep up on us so quickly, doesn't it? But we’re not complaining. We love Friday! And what’s not to love? Friday means the weekend is just around the corner, and that’s always something to look forward to. Anywho, how has everyone’s week been? Hopefully, it’s been good! Us? We’ve been busy as always putting together another fantastic newsletter for you all, but we’ve managed to squeeze in a few things here and there, like, you know, eating, sleeping, and walking our dogs (important stuff, of course, 😉). We also have something very special for you. An inside look into the SDC team! You asked and we're finally delivering - keep an eye out for it tomorrow morning.
Now, this is not the morning newsletter without our daily good morning in a different language. So, today, we’ll learn how to say good morning in Hawaiian! Aloha kakahiaka (ah-loh-hah kah-kah-hee-ah-kah), members! How's that for a start to the day?
And now, let’s get straight into the swing of things. First up, we have the third and final riddle of the week. This one is brought to us by member Dennis R. Thanks for this awesome riddle Rene!

Oooh, this is a good riddle! How are you folks faring with this one? If you think you know the correct answer, head over to our riddle masters thread here. If you get it right, we will give you a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!
