Last night, at the end of That Sucks Day, rather than asking a question on Twitter about what sucks (which our human brains are designed to notice in order to keep us safe), I decided to ask about what doesn’t suck instead.
.
What doesn’t suck is that many people answered, including these:
.
What doesn’t suck in the images I captured yesterday?
What doesn’t suck is that it’s World Semicolon Day; I love using semicolons.
What doesn’t suck is that my husband Michael gave me a birthday present of tickets for the Boston Symphony Orchestra; last night we saw a wonderful performance of Ravel, Escaich, and Rachmaninoff.
What doesn’t suck is that Michael and the rest of the audience at Symphony Hall truly appreciated the new and innovative piece by Thierry Escaich. What does suck is that I can’t find a performance of Les Chants de l’aube on YouTube; however, I did find this:

What doesn’t suck is that I get to share my thoughts and feelings here every day; what doesn’t suck is that you show up for that!
This has been a beautiful weekend for life not to suck, Ann.
I agree, Mark!
Nice variety of photos and topics today.
Your comments never suck, Debbie!
kindness never sucks. you can count on it.
And I can count on your kindness, beth.
Any time I hear about something that sucks I remember Shakespeare’s “Where the bee sucks/There suck I…”
Just because it sucks it’s not necessarily bad.
Not bad, Chris!
Your blog
Thank you! 🙏
It doesn’t ever such when you put up photos of Joan and share that you and Michael had a nice evening out. You two always do the best things.
You’re the best, Maureen.
What did Aaron decide? 🙂
He said yes to the PhD program at Delhousie in Halifax.
Hey, That’s fantastic news, Ann! A great school and a lovely city, also not too far from you. My niece and her husband live in Halifax. One of them is a CBC reporter and the other is a pediatrician. I hope that he enjoys his PhD program, and enjoys Canada. Two of my kids have moved to the states since I began reading your blog, and of those one has become American and has had two american-born kids there. And now we are welcoming your son up here, at least for a few years, and I think we are very lucky to have him choose Dalhousie.
Thanks, Maureen!
