quick update. He has been seen on a shuttle bus by a fellow resident of his senior living. This is in Tacoma Washington. She said he seems OK. I have no idea what went on. He said he is coming back soon. We have a history of secrecy and extreme privacy in our family so that is part of the problem and I am part of that problem. He had better come up with a good reason for all of this. He probably hopes nobody finds out so we don't pop him in a nursing home, which is my definite choice. He is highly intelligent or was, but has numerous health problems and had a stroke several years ago, from which he recovered pretty well but had to discontinue a private law practice.
