Those themselves are major - and in today's economy, he might have to take even larger measures to keep business going. (These are all guesses, I have no idea for certain what's going on in his life).

>Community leaders will go through "black-out" periods because they need to tend to the essentials in life. Perhaps those things are taking up all of CB's life. And who knows, maybe at some point in the future, CB will be able to share more offerings based on his work experiences. This is a fairly common cycle.

I think that what you say could be indeed the reason why CB has been silent for such a long time and I hope that is the case. But, like Matt, I'm wondering why he just doesn't make a small blog entry to say that he's still "around". I guess we've all been spoiled by his past activities and this bit of down time is just unusual for us.

My 2cents.
