Will bet you the old guy is having the time of his life, going out fully engaged.
And I wouldn’t bet on senility. We have friends in their 90s who are sharp as ever. Henry likely still has sharp teeth. Our bodies betray us as we age, which doesn’t necessarily mean our other faculties are dulled. Inside, we are the same people we always were.
