that he was in track and field as a young man. He seems very comfortable in his body and on his feet. Not only does he have exceptional energy, but he seems to have exceptional courage and focus, as well. Where he's lacking (from what I've seen) is in musical ability and humor. He'll smile, laugh, and enjoy himself, but he doesn't seem witty or particularly funny. And it was discovered a while back that the sweet man just can't sing. I guess nobody has everything.
