Al Franken. Here's a person who's grown on me over the years. His early comedy was a mixed bag to me, but as he became more serious, I grew to respect the man.

I've always wanted to see Franken run for President, after his service in the Senate. He's the type of person who could have taken Trump down in a 2016 debate and still looked "presidential" while doing so. But then, a comedian has to have developed perfect timing to do this, and it is a skill that would be perfect in today's political environment. When the political system has become a bad joke, why not have a serious comedian run a country? (Heck, if Ukraine has done this, why not here? At least, we don't have to worry about Mexico grabbing Texas back, or Canada grabbing Alaska.)
While shopping for tickets to see Postmodern Jukebox, I saw that Franken was on a nearby stage. So, I decided to buy myself a ticket. Unfortunately, my friend Vicki couldn't go with me. But I was lucky. Someone from my Yonkers game night group wanted to go. It looks like we'll have a nice dinner nearby, then go to the theater to see the show.
Be it funny or serious, I expect this to be a very enjoyable evening....
