Dearest Riftwatch!

[ If By sounds like he's announcing something momentous, it's because he is. ]

Do you smell something stirring in the air? Something sweet? Something glorious? Do the birds sing to you, saying, the day is nearly here? Oh, Riftwatch, if they do not, it's because you're not listening. Because the birds, the sky, the trees, the shivering leaves all have one announcement to make.

And that is this:

It is Sonia Barra's birthday.

Please dunk her head in a cold lake in celebration.
