He's a lot heavier looking than most people in their late 90s - that's not necessarily a bad thing as he doesn't look especially frail. I see he's also got the wine glasses out based on that photo.

JustPassingThrough 149 Posted Wednesday at 01:16 I dropped him from my DDP main team this year, though it was one of the drops I went back and forth on the most. I added Aldrin though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
