Gee...Perhaps you might consider that this is a concern for him as well. You might consider that he is not comfortable with his spine and pelvic bones poking out and that he has tried everything he can think of to put some cushion on. Or maybe he's just tired of looking like some strung out drug addict (considering our neighbourhood...it wouldn't be jumping to conclusions) and being approached all the time by punks trying to push their poison.
Thanks for all your help...it was well worth your time to respond to my request for suggestions.
