pick of the week: In the spirit of full transparency, we should note that Ol' Blue Eyes is not actually appearing at the Sinatra and Company concert. But his music will be there, along with that of his fellow Rat Packers Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., as well as songs made famous by Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe. The tunes will be delivered by Colleen Raye, Tim Patrick and Debbie O'Keefe, who will be accompanied by the 10-member Blue Eyes Band jazz ensemble. The show is at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Heritage Center on the grounds of the Minnesota Masonic Home in Bloomington. Tickets are $25 and $27 and are available via masonicheritagecenter.org/events or at 952-948-6500.
Day by day: Wednesday is national Running Day, on which everyone is encouraged to take a jog. And to make sure the exercise doesn't go for naught, it's also national Chocolate Ice Cream Day.
