Missing: Billmon

Where the fuck is Billmon? His last post, which claimed he was going out to sea for a week, was well over a month ago. He hasn't even bothered to put up the closed sign at the whiskey bar. Have I missed something? I haven't heard any talk in the blogosphere about Billmon's extended absence. Was he thrown off the boat by a freeper assassin, or has he just decided life is a lot easier when you're not blogging? If any one knows, let me know, cuz I need a drink pretty bad.
