He hasn't been heard of in his usual ports-of-call for some time now. If it's just a chosen time of absence, it was unannounced.
The sad thing about reaching old age... if you suddenly go quiet, people think that you're dead.

I'm concerned about Pad, myself. I just stated a truth. Very peculiar reaction.

As am I. There could be a perfectly good reason for his absence (which doesn't involve sudden poor health), and I was just reflecting (with a touch of sadness) that the older you get, the more likely it is that people will pencil-in "dead" before other (sometimes more likely) explanations.
I'm no spring chicken myself, and a similar assumption will eventually be made about me.
I'm still hopeful that he had a love-at-first-sight experience and is currently "discovering himself" (and the body of a willing companion) somewhere in India with a respectable amount of marijuana in his backpack.
