That's a good point, I don't remember seeing him either. Perhaps he's on a vacay somewhere, FL weather can be touchy with what's "nice", maybe he went on vacay before things started getting too hot?
Dan was on week or so ago. He said he was seeing the doctor for a back issue and would be finding out if he needed surgery. He said that if he needed surgery he would probably be out for a while. So I assume he's out on medical leave.
