Good morning, all. It's day 2,384 of the Royale and my last day hosting. @glennraucher.bsky.social is back at the controls tomorrow and I look forward to seeing everyone then and joining in with the chatter and cheerfulness. Ginger says Hey. Cheers, y'all

Good morning and welcome to the 2,383rd Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe). It's Tuesday, the long day, with work in a bit and class tonight and this, the penultimate hosting day for me, right now. So let's see those mugs.

Wake up, it's Monday and time for the 2,392nd royale, where you can share your plans, tell your stories, air your grievances, and mostly show your faces and your first cups of coffee (or whatever you may choose to show and imbibe). Good morning!

Good morning, all. It's Sunday September 27 and time for the 2,391st royale. Hope everyone is having a calm, peaceful, and relaxing weekend. Or busy and productive if that's how you roll. Ginger and I are being mindful and present in the moment. Well, I am anyway. Good morning!

Thrilled to reach this nerdly pinnacle: Guest Birder for Sara Kate's Bird of the Day! If you're not following @sarakatew.bsky.social's daily moment joy and mindfulness, you really should be. #Birds #Birdsky

Good morning and welcome to Royale No. 2,390, on this last Saturday of September. Great to see you all. Next month finds @glennraucher.bsky.social reclaiming the hosting console. I'm sure we're all friends here, but, if not, give him a follow. Happy Saturday!

Good morning, all. We made it to Friday, the 2,389th royale. Happy weekend or just happy Friday or happy whatever. Great to see you and your first cup of coffee (etc.) this morning. What's up?

Good morning, coffee comrades. It's Friday Eve and the 2,388th royale. Finally able to sleep with the windows open last night and was serenaded by owls, both great horned and a distant barred or two. My favorite time of year. Hope y'all have a good day.

Good morning and welcome to the 2,387th royale on this the centennial of the birth of one John William Coltrane, jazz icon, master craftsman, and musical shaman, still inspiring awe nearly 60 years after his passing. What Trane will you spin today?

Good morning, all. It's royale #2,386 and Ginger would love to see you and your first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe). Is that some hint of fallishness in the air? Bring on the flannels and woolens. Happy Tuesday.

Good morning, all. It's Monday, the 2,385th royale, time to show us your first cup of coffee (or whatever you may choose to imbibe) and your lovely faces (or whatever you may choose to show us). Hope everyone has a great Monday. Or even a good Monday. Ginger says Hey.

Good morning, all; it's the 2,384th royale. Let's see those lovely faces and first cups of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe). On bird duty today, especially the hummingbird feeders, so they can fill up for their long and arduous journeys south. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Had a good, late sleep and, while I did not stick around for LeAnn Rimes, I'm sure it was inspiring and uplifting and all that. But now I'm ready for day 2,383 of the royale and to see you faces and first cups of whatever. Good morning, all.

Good morning, all. Today is day 2,382 of the royale, last day of the week and the conference. LeAnn Rimes is the closing keynote. Maybe I'll stick around for it. [Narrator: He probably won't.] Let's see those smiling faces and first cups of coffee (or whatever).

Good morning from the 18th floor of some hotel in St. Louis. It's day two of the conference and day 2,381 of the royale. I was able to scrounge an actual cup for in-room brew, so the day's already looking up. Good morning, y'all.

Good morning from St. Louis on day 2,380 of the royale. Come for the Missouri Behavioral Health Conference, stay for the hotel coffee. Cheers, y'all.

Good morning, all. It's Royale No. 2,379. I'm off to Kansas City today, then St. Louis tonight, and home Friday, so anticipate paper cups of hotel swill over the coming days. Happy Tuesday, y'all.

Happy Monday morning for the 2,378th royale. Did I miss yesterday? Yes, I think I did. So here's double the good wishes for the week ahead. Cheers, y'all.

Good morning, all. It's the 2,376th royale. Great to see all my HeAthens comrades always going to the show and sharing their joy. See y'all in February.

Good morning, all, and welcome to Friday September 11, 2026, day 2,376 of the royale, your first cup of coffee (or whatever you may choose to imbibe) along with your plans and hopes and dreams and gripes and joys and smiling faces. Hug your people and hold on to your joy.

Good morning, all. It's Friday Eve, day 2,375 of the royale, a chance to show off your morning faces along with your first cup of coffee (or whatever you may choose to imbibe). I hope everyone's popcorn is ready for my state's Constitutional crisis unfolding today. Missouri deserves better.

Good morning and welcome to Royale No. 2,374, in which good people gather and offer greetings and admonitions, along with their first cup of coffee (AKA the "royale") or whatever they may choose to imbibe. Cheers, y'all.

So long, summer; hello Royale No. 2,373. Good morning, all. Guess it's officially pumpkin spice season. Let's see that first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe), your mugs, and also faces.

Good morning and happy Labo(u)r Day on this the 2,372nd Royale. Enjoy your holiday if you get one and be kind to the working folks today.

Good morning friends. It's Royale No. 2,371. I'm enjoying my lazy-ish weekend. Good to see you.

Good morning, all. It's the 2,370th Royale, that's your first cup of coffee or whatever you choose to imbibe, along with your beaming mugs. Maybe my last labor day holiday as retirement approacheth, but we'll see. Enjoy your holiday and be kind to those who don't.

Good morning, all. Happy Friday on this the 2,369th Royale (your first cup of coffee or whatever etc., etc.). What goes on?

Good morning, all. Happy Friday eve and welcome to the 2,368th Royale, that first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe) in the morning. Glad to see you all.

Good morning, all. Welcome to my day two of hosting and day 2,367 of the Royale, which is the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe). You know the drill by now: coffee, faces, pets or kids maybe, witticisms, pithy commentary, etc. Glad you're here.
