Tonight I’m catching Frank Theater‘s anti-death penalty play The Exonerated, and at the tail-end of its run. Cards on the table: If there’s any residue of my lapsed Catholicism it’s my unequivocal opposition to the death penalty. And I’ve been active on this front, if only as a consumer of art.

Here’s an interesting music happening for the evening: Pop Wagner, who has been heard on PHC as well as the Morning Show (or, as I call it, “Grandma’s Jukebox”), is playing the Eagle’s Club with The Twin Cities Playboys. I still plan to spend my evening out of doors, though.
