And I hate to be away.

I just hate to miss what we missed, what I missed.

And I thank Dan and everybody who filled in.

But I don't ever want to face that again.

So we will gradually, I have plenty to do in this last month or so here.

I have doctor appointments and everything else that continues to go on.

It will go on for a while.

And I will continue to miss some time, but not like I did last time.

I will be here most days.

At least I will try.

Because you never know what's going to happen.

You never know what's going to bring.

And especially with this thing, you can never predict.

You just don't know how you're going to feel from one day to the next.

You don't know how you're going to feel from one minute to the next.

So all of that combined with what I knew before this that I wanted to make it to 25 years.

I'm going to make it to 25 years, damn it.

That much I've done.

I don't know about what else I can do at this point, but

January 5th, I promise you, will be a last show and a very special one.
