You can't do better than a Dan Zanes show. He and his band were back in town yesterday afternoon and evening, and a bunch of Portland parents and kids had a couple of wild dance parties.

Midway through last evening's performance, I looked around and noticed that a lot of the children boogieing away were younger than ours. A wicked thought popped into my head: At some point, our daughters are going to outgrow this!

But I'll still want to go. Maybe they'll humor me once in a while and come along.
