One of the primary advantages of having parents that listen to a lot of good music is that they'll sometimes listen to a good song with the kid around until everyone's completely sick of it (the song, not the kid), and then not listen to the song again for decades at a time. For you, the kid, this means that when you hear Mozambique by Bob Dylan at your friends' wedding twenty-five years later you get all excited and think, "Damn, where have I heard this excellent song before...?"

In this case, I assume the song was overplayed by my dad. Good job, dad. [Update: it was Barb. Good job, Barb.]

I'd like to spend some time in Mozambique.
The sunny sky is aqua blue.
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
It's very nice to stay a week or two
And maybe fall in love just me and you.
It's now so thoroughly stuck in my head, of course, that I'm having trouble working.

Playing softball and painting shouldn't make someone feel sore. All together now... "I gotta get in shape."
