As promised, here are the sonogram images and video of our son. Thanks to everyone who assumed that our announcement was an April Fools’ scheme – you made our day!

It’s a boy!
Diane and I are announcing today that we’re expecting our first child. Our son is due in early September and we couldn’t be more excited. He’ll be the first grandchild on my side of the family and the first male grandchild on Diane’s side.
Last December, I made a blog post about how we had found a place to live in Pratt. A few days later, I wrote a follow-up describing a last-minute change of plans. Without going into the details, this change was due to learning of the pregnancy and needing Diane to keep her job and it’s benefits. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a better health care system in this country?
We had our first sonogram on Wednesday, and and we’ll soon have pictures posted.
Since the wedding is over, we’ll likely reformat Diane’s site at dianetraffas.com to accommodate and chronicle her adventures in being a mother.
Happy April!

Shatner sings FU
Not bad for an 80-year-old. Shatner was on Lopez the other night performing a song by Cee Lo Green. The funny in this video is not only Shatner’s performance, it’s the backup singers. Not only are they dressed as characters from Shatner’s acting career, they also sing “Shatner” at about 1:15 in the video. If you need help, the one on the left is wearing the vest from Shatner’s current show, $#*! My Dad Says. The one in the middle is rocking the classic Star Trek uniform. The one on the right is – you guessed it – TJ Hooker.
