I don’t want to keep you in suspense, but I considered starting this blog post with “the suspense is killing me.”
I hope my suspense about what’s happening in my country isn’t actually killing me, but I fear these awful developments — measles outbreaks, cuts in essential and life-saving programs, the gutting of environmental protection, threats to people’s rights, alienation of allies, toxic narcissists/sociopaths in charge, etc. — will kill many people.
More suspense: Where are the effective leaders to help us out of this mess? How irrevocable is the damage being done? What will be the impact on future generations?
Nobody needs this kind of suspense.
What kinds of suspense do you see in my images for today?

On International School Meals Day, I’m in suspense and despair about all the cruel cuts to school lunch programs in the USA.
Here’s what I find when I search for suspense on YouTube:

I want my cliff-hangers in suspense fiction — not in real life, every damn day.
I can easily manage my suspense about what comments will pop up in the comments section, below.
Thanks to all who are here for this suspense post, including YOU.

I’m having cataract surgery in a couple of weeks, so I’m in a little bit of suspense about the outcome, having been told that I might not even require glasses for reading anymore, although I will definitely need them for distance. That and, of course, the national suspense we’re all watching together.
I hope your cataract surgery goes well, Barb, and that it results in improved vision.
Thank you so much, Maureen. I’m looing forward to it. 🙂
I see what you did there! 😀
I hope that when the suspense is over, Barbara, your vision is even better.
well, the first time I saw jaws I had no idea what it was about, and it sure was suspenseful !
It sure was, beth!
Everything is suspenseful with Trump in office. My favorite Hitchcock movie is Rear Window.
Too much suspense these days.
TNT, the cable channel, not the explosive, used to have “Our Favorite Movies”. A celebrity would host a movie and talk about it during breaks. Brent “Data” Spiner hosted Rear Window. I’d seen it a dozen times but I was in genuine suspense waiting for his segments because he knew so much about the film and Hitchcock and his insights were fascinating.
Good to know, Chris.
