I'm not all that surprised he seems to have less sparkle lately... Saddened, but not surprised. He must've been in pain for a loooong time from his knee (maybe still is), CBS destroyed what seemed to be a happy work world (and took jobs away from two of his close friends), and as someone noted he's gaining notoriety, and as a result he's getting crap (sometimes very nasty crap) on public forums for his personal decisions. Any one of those things alone would be enough to break someone. It may all finally be catching up with him. I also don't believe there's a romance.

Whatever is wrong, I hope he finds a happy balance again. And I hope you do, too!
