It makes me feel bad.
It has done so since mid-June.
And I still feel the same way today.
And a lot of it swirls around work.
And you're probably saying, what's wrong with you?
Well, you know, I don't know.
But anyway, I want to emphasize that the way this year has gone for me, which is horribly, has nothing to do with this decision, which is a decision to retire, which will happen at the end of this year.
My last show will be January 5th.
So I do this wanting you to understand it's been a โ
Very difficult year, and it wasn't a difficult decision to make, but I want you to understand that I'm not being driven from the business.
I'm not being as disappointing as all this has been to me because I'm a guy who's worked for 50 years, and I would have happily worked the last six months of this as well every damn day.
It hasn't turned out that way, and I don't know that it ever will again.
I mean, I couldn't, even if I wanted to say to myself, well, hold off a while.
No, I can't because I don't know what the future holds.
I really don't.
And I know that if I retire, which I was going to do, I wanted to make it 25 years.
25 years started on January 2nd, 1991, at the score, or 1992.
And this would be 25 years on January 2nd of this year.
I wanted to make it to 25 years.
And you say, what's wrong?
