An interesting suggestion, because that is how he has looked to me - not 
like the problem is the laziness he's been accused of before, so much as 
having to fight just to move. I was thinking in terms of early stages of 
arthritis, but this makes sense. I think he was diagnosed with depression 
in Seattle and may well be on some med.
