Blissfully depressed.....

So, no shiznit, there I was, sitting in Bob Evans in Mason, WV having breakfast with my son and his fiance'. Christopher says, "We got something to show you." JoAnn starts digging in her purse and comes up with two pieces of paper and shoves them in front of me.

I'm lookin' and I'm thinkin', "Ok... Dopplar weather radar... Are you trying to tell me that it's a bad idea to go to the movies because it might rain?"

I look at them and they're grinning ear to ear and then some and on the virge of jittering right out of their chairs.

"Something tells me this ain't Dopplar radar."

I look again and it starts to become clear what I'm looking at. Especially with the little lines tagged "Head" and "Rump".

I'm looking at sonograms.

In 7 months I'm gonna be a grandfather.

Christ, I feel suddenly 20 years older.

Very happy for them.

But 20 yrs older.
 
BTW: It's twins. :D
